Connection Experiment

My idea for this video blog is to conduct an "experiment" of sorts, which will be documented by video. I consider myself very cut off from the world of the news, sports, and pop culture. I don't read the news online, i don't get the newspaper, and i haven't had a working television in two years. this being said, my experiment will consist of me attempting to both report the week's major news events, as well as attempting to provide some interesting commentary. "Day one" of this experiment has already been shot, but i realize that it will only be interesting as a retrospective. however, it will be posted this weekend in conjunction with the first episode. what i hope to do with this project is to have a retrospective of my understanding of the news world with particular focus on the presidential election. I've taken a few steps to help expose myself to this information: I've taken out a subscription to the NY Times, and I've fixed my TV. hopefully this will be an entertaining and educational endeavor.
