What People Are Saying About AIDS on Twitter 2
May 20, 2013
It’s YouTube Comedy Week, and Gwenn and I found some real laughers when searching “#AIDS” on Twitter. It appears that people are still using the word “AIDS” to get across their daily frustrations.

HIV Discrimination in the News
May 16, 2013
Gwenn and I combed through Poz.com and found a few stories involving HIV that we felt compelled to discuss. Hope this finds everyone doing well.

Catching Up
May 1, 2013
I’d previously blogged about why Gwenn and I had a little hiatus from video-making. Well, while on hiatus, we actually recorded some of our journeys on our cellphones. One of our capers included me riding a ferris wheel in recognition of World Hemophilia Day.
I know- I’m so very, very brave.
We Attempt the Condom Challenge
April 20, 2013
We just couldn’t wait until Tuesday to post our latest video… if you haven’t heard about the condom challenge, it’s a new trend that’s taken off (for better or worse) where people post videos of themselves inserting a condom into their nose and then pulling that same condom out through their mouth.
Gwenn and I discuss this- and attempt it (wink wink)- in our new video. Enjoy!
Positively Yours,
Shawn
My Life in 60 Seconds
March 12, 2013
A little over a week ago, Gwenn saw a post on Twitter about a contest put on by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and the Vail Film Festival. You had to make a creative video about how HIV has impacted you, and also use the phrase “keep the promise on AIDS”, which is a nod to AHF’s film, “Keep the Promise: The Global Fight Against AIDS “. (Debuting at the Vail Film Festival at the end of the month.)
Oh, and your entry had to be 30 or 60 seconds. So, here was my winning entry. This time, I drew my life in chalk. To prove I’m multi-faceted.
Hope everyone is well!
Positively Yours,
Shawn

VLOG: Draw My Life
February 26, 2013
Here’s our latest video- it’s a Draw My Life video. A lot of YouTube Vloggers are doing them, and Gwenn thought my life would work well in the context. And I do like to draw, so I gave it a shot, thinking that a Draw My Life with a little story about HIV floating around out there might educate some folks… plus, it was fun to do. A lot of work, but totally worth it.
Regarding our last video and the subject of How To Survive A Plague… was bummed that they didn’t win for Best Documentary. I haven’t seen the others that were nominated, but I’m glad we have the time capsule that is this very powerful movie.
Hope your week has started off on the right track.
Positively Yours,
Shawn
