It's been a long time since I posted something on BAMCAT. Reason being - I'm doing so much cool stuff for my real job at CityNews.ca lately. Here are three examples:
Game Over: Video Arcades Face Extinction - this was a story written by Michael Talbot at CityNews.ca. Although we could not get video to go with the piece his photos tell the story almost better than video could. It also caused a stir at BlogTO (a great Toronto-based blog) and they even wrote a piece of their own on arcades.
Indie Toronto Video Stores - Suzanne Ellis and I put this five-part series together featuring the best independent video stores in Toronto. Sadly, the day after we profiled Suspect Video it burned to the ground (along with many other historical stores on Queen St. W. in Toronto). Queen Video, Marquee Video, Black Dog Video, and The Film Buff (story on Friday) were all included in the series.
Where's Jimmy Hoffa? Former Mob Driver Weighs in on the Mystery - Meeting Marvin Elkind didn't really affect me until he told us where he believes Jimmy Hoffa is buried. He could be the most interesting person I have ever met as well as the scariest.

That's just three out of almost 50 original pieces we have done in the last month. I'll get back to updating BAMCAT with fun links and videos shortly.
