update:
the heart project died Nov 2009.
what it was about:
the heart project was about creativity, hope, life, and love seen through the symbol of a heart. technically, it was a series of videos -- some short, some long -- created using my cheapo handheld digicam and webcam.
seemed to be working out for a while and then life taught me another lesson.

i realized while making this video … well, i’m doing it all for myself. i doubt if more than 2 people see any of these, and i’m including myself in that grand total. but creating something each week calms me. each video makes me think that maybe i’ll keep on going for at least another 7 days.
