I will be narrating an interactive documentary on ancient Polish Salt Mines, produced by the Polish video group Baltmedia. The video is about 20 minutes long, and I will be providing the Hebrew version of the audio. Thanks to Chris at Baltimedia for reaching out and contacting me regarding this opportunity.
Chris contacted me through Voice123.com, and YOU CAN TOO!

THOUGHTS ON THE WEST SIDE STADIUM
Speaking as a non-fan of sports, I know I don't have the same drives and yearnings as some of the rabid fans who want and NEED their own stadium in New York. So already, that insures that some people are going to find my point of view unthinkable. Rational people, however, may agree.
I am glad the whole deal fell through. The city doesn't have unspeakable gobs of money to spend on a sports stadium, what with constant road repair, the subways always a mess, increased police presence and the homeless problem. Bloomberg wants the olympics here? I don't. I have to commute into the city each day, and flooding the city with tourists and Olympic folk is not my idea of a good time. Nor would I appreciate the vast increase in West Side Highway traffic which would make any coomute into the city a nightmare (not like it isn't already on some days".
Yes, Olympics are great, Yes morale booster to NYC, yes the dream of gold and all that, but when it comes down to it, it just wouldn't have been a good thing.
Of course, it could still happen, but let Queens get bombarded with traffic, for all I care.

VIVA ROCK VEGAS! (After 11 years, I still can't believe they made a live-action movie about the Flintstones).
The wife and I are planning a trip to Vegas this July. Should be a good time. I plan on dragging her to the Star Trek Expeience, and I'll let myself be pushed into the casinos in return. I'm really looking forward to it- we haven't taken a good solid vacation in a while.
In other news, Alive Inside episode 2 is available for download from Darker Projects. I have a bunch of growling and screaming sounds in there, so it's worth a listen. Now in production is my script for The Section 31 Files.
Superman Improv Comedy sketch #2 is in post-production, and will be available from Dream Realm's website when it's done.
