You may have subscribed to read about video game development, to read science fiction, or to see Green Pirate videos. We plan to resume the videos, but we need a new blue screen. We are also busy offline working on a perma-culture experiment. Today we are posting a video promoting ending the war in Afghanistan. While we have been against the war since Al-Qaeda left Afghanistan, we did not expect the war to end until Bush left office. The Democrats ran a peace campaign which the recent troop surge betrayed, and so we have decided it is time to take a stand against the war. Please watch the video and decide for your self.

The following is the result of our video test with the new blue screen. It came out fairly well, except for the purple shirt. Fortunately this will not be a problem for the Green Pirate series because none of the characters wear purple. Min, 8 Mar 2008 19:39:00 +0500 Forest J.

Currently it only has clothing and a bumper sticker, but we will add to it in the coming months. Production costs for the Green Pirate series have already exceeded $4,00.00 with no returns. Buying from the store will help offset the costs. If you buy a bumper sticker or shirt it will also help spread the message. When the DVD is ready it will also help reduce the costs. The Child's Play Charity is collecting donations again this year. We got a thank you note from Children's Hospital Boston for our donation.
