We Live in Public
September 8, 2009 by Ambassador of Green · Leave a Comment
Ten years in the making and culled from 5000 hours of footage, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC reveals the effect the web is having on our society, as seen through the eyes of “the greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of,” artist, futurist and visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning director Ondi Timoner (DIG! - which also won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2004 - making Timoner the only director to win that prestigious award twice) documented his tumultuous life for more than a decade to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives. Harris, often called the “Warhol of the Web,” founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network during the infamous dot-com boom of the 1990s. He also curated and funded the ground breaking project “Quiet” in an underground bunker in NYC where 100 people lived together on camera for 30 days at the turn of the millennium. With Quiet, Harris proved how we willingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire, but with every technological advancement such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, becomes more elusive. Through his experiments, including a six-month stint living with his girlfriend under 24-hour electronic surveillance which led to his mental collapse, Harris demonstrated the price we pay for living in public.

Michael Moore has a new target
Provocateur/director Michael Moore has taken on the likes of General Motors and the health-care system. He’s now focusing on Wall Street in his new documentary, in Theaters October 2nd Nationwide.
As many workers know, some companies are using furloughs to save money. But this story in the New York Times finds many people are coping with furloughs by working through the scheduled time off.
In the New Yorker, CIA chief Leon Panetta lets off a little steam about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s criticism of the Obama administration. Said Panetta: “It’s almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it’s almost as if he’s wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that’s dangerous politics.”
Your serve, Mr. Cheney.

23rd Nautica Malibu Triathlon Continues Tradition of Raising Funds for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles
Competition Continues Tradition of Raising Funds
For the Pediatric Cancer Research Program at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (August 6, 2009) – Zuma Beach will play host to some of the world’s finest athletes, celebrities and philanthropists on Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13, when they come together to participate in the 23rd Annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon, presented by Toyota.
The challenging triathlon course includes a half-mile swim in the Pacific Ocean, an 18-mile bicycle ride along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway and a four-mile run along the sands of Zuma Beach.
For the third year, proceeds from the Nautica Malibu Triathlon will benefit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and its Pediatric Cancer Research Program. Last year, the event raised more than $950,000 for the Pediatric Cancer Research Program, with the help of celebrity participants including Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey and Felicity Huffman.
“The inspiring stories that emerge from the Nautica Malibu Triathlon every year, both from the athletes and the recipients of the generosity of all participants, continues to drive our efforts and make every year better than the one before,” said Michael Epstein, president, Michael Epstein Sports Productions, Inc. (MESP). “We’re proud of the dedication of the corporate teams, the athletes, the celebrities, Nautica® and all of our sponsors to raise money for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, an organization that embodies the spirit of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon.”
“In its 23rd year, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon is recognized as a high-caliber athletic event that brings together world-class athletes and celebrities to compete for a good cause,” said Karen Murray, President of Nautica®. “We are thrilled to see the community, year after year, come to Zuma Beach and show their support for the life-saving work of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.”
Dedicated to curing and preventing childhood cancers, the Pediatric Cancer Research Program at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles provides groundbreaking treatments and therapies for children with some of the most serious and life-threatening pediatric cancers.
“Our ongoing commitment and dedication to medical research and disease prevention at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is making a difference in the fight against this terrible illness,” said Stuart E. Siegel, M.D., director of the Childrens Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and professor and vice chair, pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. “Those of us responsible for the Pediatric Cancer Research Program are very, very grateful for the generosity of all involved with the Nautica Malibu Triathlon and, together, we look toward a time in the future when research will conquer this horrific disease.”
The Nautica Malibu Triathlon provides opportunities for everyone to get involved; from the Entertainment Industry Challenge, which brings together Hollywood players from the top studios, production companies and agencies to compete for the Studio Cup, to the Corporate Challenge, which gives non-entertainment companies the chance to compete against one another. The Olympic distance race, which occurs on Saturday, challenges participants with a 1.5K Pacific Ocean swim, a 40K out-and-back bike course along the Pacific Coast Highway, and a 10K out-and-back run course on pavement and blacktop along the sands of Zuma Beach. Families and supporters of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon can also participate in other weekend activities such as the Nautica Kids Run and Tot Trot or enjoy games and prizes at the Fun Zone.
Participants in this year’s Entertainment Industry Challenge include Disney, as well as DreamWorks and Paramount, while the Corporate Challenge includes heavyweights such as Nestlè and a team from Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
Competitors in the Celebrity Division include: Anna Kournikova, Chris Harrison (“The Bachelor”), Chris McCormack (Ironman Winner), Chris Schauble (NBC4 News), Felicity Huffman, Heather Tom (“The Bold and the Beautiful”), Jon Cryer (“Two and a Half Men”), Mario Lopez, Dr. Robert Rey (“Dr. 90210”), William H. Macy and more…
