Reid vs. Cancer

I just wrote up a lengthy post at Reid Levin Dot Net about being diagnosed with leukemia last week. Feel free to read it if you like. I appreciate all of your love and support.

Know that Better Than The Machine is still on the up and up, and has some amazing announcements coming soon. From now on, for specific concerns relating to Better Than The Machine, please contact Paul Syracuse at paul.syracuse@gmail.com. We will be trying to update contact information uniformly for that stuff soon. (And we’ll be trying to get the others a bit more acquainted with how to use the website!)

Don’t let the machine get you down,

–Reid.

NEW VLOG – Videos To Continue, No Longer Weekly

We’re officially getting out of the weekly video business, as announced in this week’s new vlog featuring Paul. Check it out here:

We had planned to release a few more weekly videos, but certain events have forced us to move up our schedule (*ahem* I broke my arm *ahem*).

Don’t worry; we’ll still be making new videos and will be releasing them semi-regularly, just not every week. We think that if we’re able to put some more time into each video, and not rush them out to meet a weekly deadline, we’ll be able to put out higher quality videos.

We appreciate all of your support over the past year. We’ve had a great time making weekly videos, and look forward to making more videos soon. Make sure to check back regularly!

3A vs. Cancellation

One final self-promotion for my side project webseries The Guys in 3A (shamelessly cross-posted from Reid Levin Dot Net):

Today’s Adventure : Next Season on 3A

Today’s episode of The Guys in 3A is our last for DotComedy. It is a sneak peak of “next season,” which is in quotes because it is fictional. Special thanks to Jason Shwartz, who contributed some awesome animation to the episode.

Also, an especially big thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch the series–it’s been nice knowing that people are out there enjoying these things. We’re not sure what the future holds for 3A at this point, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do. Dave and I have enjoyed making the series, and we still live together in the real world (if not the fictional one), so there’s sure to be something new out of us at some point down the road.

You’ll be the first to know.
