		<title>Still Alive :)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yup, I&#8217;ve been busy. Adjusting to life in LA, family, and work have been taking up most of my time.
While this website may be a bit neglected lately, I certainly haven&#8217;t forgotten about it. I&#8217;ve been terrible about responding to messages and emails for the past couple months as well &#8211; so if you haven&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benmakesmovies.wordpress.com&blog=1159419&post=56&subd=benmakesmovies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The New Adventures Returns!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The only thing better than shooting a new episode of The New Adventures of Ben &#38; Jared is getting paid to do it! The comedy site Just For Laughs .com purchased a revamped pilot episode of Ben &#38; Jared to get fresh look at the series in the &#8220;webisode&#8221; format. If all goes well, this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benmakesmovies.wordpress.com&blog=1159419&post=48&subd=benmakesmovies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Video: Chocolate Skittles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first time that you come across a package of Chocolate Mix Skittles, you may find yourself morbidly curious as to what they actually taste like. This short commercial spoof sums up my initial reaction to trying them.

The big news is that I&#8217;m planning to move down to Los Angeles within the next month or so (I currently live in Spokane, Washington).

I&#8217;ve updated the look of the site, made it easier to browse through the videos, changed a bit of the layout etc. Love it or hate it, this new design is here to stay for awhile.

Looks like the video I posted this morning has been featured at gametrailers.com and slashdot.org&#8230; thanks to the respective editors at those sites for choosing it!
To many of you Game Trailer commenters: Jared&#8217;s eyes are the best thing that ever happened to the internet.

Anyway, this new short is for old-school Nintendo fans and gaming nerds. Surely, most of you remember (or at least know of) the infamous JUSTIN BAILEY code?
No one has ever known the origin of the code’s name&#8230; until now. All of your burning questions will be answered in “The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benmakesmovies.wordpress.com&blog=1159419&post=33&subd=benmakesmovies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fixed the forums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might think that after three weeks my webhost would be able to fix a problem that they caused. You&#8217;d be wrong. 
I ended up just biting the bullet and getting brushed up on my php skilz in order to fix the forums myself. Thank you useless webhost tech support team; hopefully you&#8217;ll refrain from breaking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benmakesmovies.wordpress.com&blog=1159419&post=31&subd=benmakesmovies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I don’t really know how to describe it&#8230; much less if anyone should even be permitted to watch it. Click the link if you’re brave enough.

		<title>Crazy times</title>

Here is the short version: I finally got married, quit my job (and got a new one!) and have been traveling all over the place (Panama, the Sundance Film Festival, Massachusetts, New Orleans)&#8230; hence the lack of updates. I&#8217;m excited that the WGA strike is finally over, which means [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benmakesmovies.wordpress.com&blog=1159419&post=27&subd=benmakesmovies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
