- Supermomma
Like all good broke technologists, the boys and I used the resources at our disposal to plot, shoot and edit a Happy Mother’s Day video for all of the mothers in our life (in particular, the one supermomma taking care of our home and hearth).

The artist speaks: (go on, click on the arrow) - Vote for Dennis Kucinich … in the media polls (at least)
