It’s not organized as well as I’d like, and it’s neither finished nor comprehensive, but if you can’t help but be interested in the sort of stories I wrote as a reporter (way back in 2006, mind you), there are now a few clips from the Spartan Daily and Oakland Tribune posted on my Work page.
There’s a video mixed into one story there that I overshot and Shaminder painstakingly edited down to something useful. It was shot with my Panasonic consumer-grade handycam, and I think the reasoning behind the small size had everything to do with the way College Publisher processed Quicktime videos back then. Pretty sure they have a Flash solution now.
All of the stuff I’ve posted there is pretty old at this point. I’ll try and add some links soon to projects I’ve produced on at the Sentinel, videos I’ve shot, etc.
Enjoy, critique, deride, lambaste, and most of all, build your own online portfolio showcasing your work in your choice of medium.

NICE page, Ryan! I like the design a lot!
Those were some good times. I remember that video, man were we making it up as we went along back then… now people just think we’re making it up.
Hey, looks great. But I would suggest Flash for video, so more people can see it. Less than 30 percent of computer users have Quicktime. Cheers.
@sean – Of course. I haven’t gotten around to downloading the .mov, converting it, putting a call to swfobject.js on those clip pages, and serving up the .flv.
I built those pages outside my WordPress install — I felt like coding something from scratch — or I just would have flicked on an FLVEmbed plugin.
Thanks!
