who’s john cabrera?

Voglio ringraziare tutti i miei amici di gilmoregirlsitalia.com per gli auguri di buon compleanno!

Hey folks, sorry I haven’t written for a while. It’s been a busy few weeks. LOTS of exciting things in the works, though, and I’m hoping to be able to share a few of them very soon.

The most recent development came this evening actually. Today I was called to audition for The Office, and then at around 9pm tonight I was cast in a fun little role on the show. Crazier is I shoot tomorrow!

I’m gonna keep this entry short since I’m already in bed and need to get some sleep. But I’m really excited, because not only am I gonna have the opportunity to be a part of one of my favorite TV shows, I get to act with one of my dear friends Jenna Fischer.

So keep your eyes on my Twitter stream. I’ll probably tweet small updates.

Hey everyone, I’m doing some design changes to my blog. So if you arrive and see some strange formating mistakes, headings in the wrong place, broken links or images… that’s just me screwing something up. It’ll be in its final shape soon.

I’m also simultaneously working on some other website stuff. I know I keep saying it’s coming… but it’s coming.

I now present to you the new HD version of The Man Who Invented the Moon. Just like Affair Game this one has gone through another pass of color treatment and a few extra bells and whistles were added. Super Amazing’s outfit is brighter, Eddie’s beard is bushier, and Sean’s performance has gotten a touch more boomastic-mister-fantastic. Check it at the door.

UPDATE: So it seems as though Vimeo’s encoder didn’t play nice with my video. The audio starts going out of sync around halfway through the movie. Reading their forums it seems to be an occasional bug with their video encoding software. I’m in the process of reuploading it to Vimeo now. So hopefully this will be resolved in the morning. Sorry guys.

UPDATE: Okay we’re back up. I’ve checked this version for any audio sync problems, and there doesn’t seem to be any.

So I’m still in the process of getting all of my videos uploaded for the new version of unboiled.com. For those not following my Twitter stream, my production computer died on me. Turns out it needs a new Flux Capacitor… damn!… Damn damn! So I won’t be able to work on the site again until this weekend.

BUT, I should take this opportunity to give a shout out to The Computer Doctors. Hands down the BEST place to take your computer for repair here in LA, PERIOOOD. Nicest bunch of guys, super affordable, fast turn around. I have to get an entire Mother Board replaced… They said they could have it back in my hands in two days!

My friend Lee told me about them a couple years ago. He’s actually turned a few of our friends on to them. I remember he was so excited about The Computer Doctors that at the time I wanted to pour coke all over my laptop just to take it to them for repairs…. seriously…. The Computer Doctors.

Anyway, thanks for your patience on the site.

Holy Christmas! I just noticed this! A REMAKE of the music video I directed last year! I can’t tell you how flattered I am. I couldn’t stop smiling.

I spent months watching our video OVER and OVER and OVER while we were in post production. I thought I’d become completely numb to the concept… but watching this I felt like I was experiencing the story for the first time. Thank you.

I think this was their film school project. Great job, guys!

For those of you who visited my blog yesterday and wondered about this picture… it’s my sister’s dog, Ila. I shot it in Malibu at the 4th of July picnic we had on the beach. I tried to email it to my flickr account, but I guess I picked the address that emails it as a blog post. Oops. I was gonna take it down, but then I decided she’s just too darn cute. So I’m gonna also post one I took right after she got out of the water.

Really deep blogging material, I know… bear with me…

How many of you have heard the legend of the mighty and fearful Bevolicher (pronounced: be-VAWL-iker)? If you haven’t, you better watch this video created by my buddy Jay’s comedy troupe “TROOP!”. It could seriously save you a lot of emotional pain.

If y’all have a chance, check out a really fun pop culture blog called Pop-Rock Candy Mountain. I love the site for a lot of reasons. The design is clean and sharp, with a touch of kitsch, and what I consider a killer logo. They seem to have a particular interest in SUB-pop-culture, and a keen eye for picking out the smaller details in the things they love… you won’t find any Paris Hilton there. And they’ve got an entire section of the site dedicated to food! I love that they give FOOD it’s pop culture props.

And of course one of my favorite things about this blog is that they’ve featured lil’ole me in this week’s line up of goodies. Hehe. Peep this.

And just to confirm the author’s hunch… yeah, my robot’s not too shabby. I doubt it could get me a “ticket to vegas”, but it can definitely clean your house.
