		<title>Film Screening: Bold Native</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just finished off modifying this promo art for our local screening here in Des Moines. The director is supposed to be around for questions afterward, and all donations go straight to Scott Demuth and Carrie Feldman&#8217;s legal fund to assist them in a ridiculous and tragic court battle. I have yet to see the film, [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 Weekly Anti-Torture Vigil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an upcoming series of posts, I plan to port over a bunch of stories I&#8217;ve been telling on Facebook about this year&#8217;s Des Moines anti-torture vigils. Our entirely legal (and very small) protests have been an unusual spectacle amongst the generally pristine surroundings of West Des Moines. This led to some amusing encounters with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thomas J. Buxtehude Critiques the 2010 48 Hour Film Losers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the last of our batch of Buxtehude shorts for August, and is best watched after having viewed Behind the Scenes: Dragonfist. If you&#8217;ve seen that, this video basically explains the rest with its opening notes: On August 12, 2010 the &#8220;Top 12&#8243; 48 hour films from Des Moines, IA were screened at a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thomas J. Buxtehude Appears at the Fleur</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a brief snippet from the screening of Behind the Scenes: Dragonfist at the Fleur Cinema in Des Moines, IA. Having spent his entire life savings on a movie trailer for Dragonfist, Buxtehude attempted to recoup his losses by sitting inside the Fleur cinema and attempting to sell Dragonfist shirts at the 2010 48 Hour [...]]]></description>

		<title>Behind the Scenes: Dragonfist &#8211; Extended Scenes and Outtakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a little compilation of outtakes and extended scenes from our short film. We had a blast making it, although we began running out of time when too many takes went like these. Personally, the most fun scene was trying to stare down Rob during the staff meeting. We shot our film on a borrowed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Behind the Scenes: Dragonfist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve updated this blog, but I&#8217;ll likely post a few things over the next week, here. It&#8217;s been an incredibly busy year so far, with twenty-one weeks of anti-torture actions, production on a new book (Zakery&#8217;s Bridge), promotion for the old book, some new and strange music in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guantánamo Bay Protest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month I zipped across the eastern U.S. with three friends, bound for Washington, DC. All of us would end up in orange jumpsuits and black hoods, marching in a grim protest against the continued operation of the Guantánamo Bay detention center. A few of us would later end up thrown in jail. Two [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Books: Mobile Site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2005, I built a web site for The Books, which is still probably the strangest web-related thing I&#8217;ve been apart of creating. I&#8217;ve had a lot of people comment on what a wonderful experience the site is and how much they enjoy exploring all of its various nooks and crannies. Unfortunately in today&#8217;s world [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buy Nothing Day: 2009 Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you might remember, last year a small troupe of friends and I celebrated Buy Nothing Day on Black Friday, encouraging people to purchase less excess stuff and to donate to those starving to death instead. This simple message has been relayed many times around this time of year, but usually the focus [...]]]></description>
