Mike Frankson (also known as MicFranXon) is an editor for Redearth88. He became involved with the project after his fan videos caught the eye of Glenn Rubenstein. Mike now helps edit videos for the character of Rachel.
Before the days of YouTube, Mike edited and produced an internet reality series called "The Real Tag," which got the attention of sponsors Tiger/Hasbro in the laser tag world..
After its successful run, Mike started working in radio in NYC, hosting shows based on independent music with a listener share of 4.5 million people. After new ownership came in with a format change, Mike left the show, realizing that he'd accomplished one of his childhood dreams.
In June 2006, Mike found Bree on YouTube and has been an avid follower of lonelygirl15 ever since. In late 2007, Mike decided to combine three things he truly cared about: lonelygirl15, the community and radio. This decision led him to form BreeFM. Currently, he runs the show and invites other members of the community to DJ.
Mike is also a self-taught musician, playing piano and keyboards and recently put his latest collection of compositions online on his new artist page under the name of "Michael's Purpose". Mike was also he PM of Zoeyiswatching.
Mike is proud to be an active member of the LG15/Maddison/Redearth88 community. Mike also portrays Hubby (a parody of Brother) in Lonelyjew15.

Ok, there's your proof, Mr. Schiele. But this has gone too far, it wasn't part of our deal. You said keep an eye on him, not be his babysitter. So I want out.
Oh, and if he keeps playing that horrid song I'll finish him off myself.
""A quarter of the U.S. is going to get one of the best networks in the world," said Dave Burstein, editor of the DSL Prime newsletter.
The rest of the country, he said, is going to be stuck with slow DSL or cable, though the latter is due for upgrades in the next few years that will boost top speeds fivefold."
The Dark Knight ARG is an alternate reality game created by Warner Bros. and 42 Entertainment to promote The Dark Knight, the upcoming Batman movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Unlike most online games, an ARG includes an immersive storyline the players are characters in; in the case of The Dark Knight, all players are citizens of the fictional Gotham City. An ARG requires searching for clues to continue the story on the Internet, on the phone, and at real-life events. Activities in the Dark Knight game have included:
Currently, the Gotham City online voting system is being set up so that participants may vote in June.

Throughout her adventures, Victoria discovers what makes up the Real World of Business, educating her audience on the happenings around Houston's premier business college.
"Miles Beckett: Generally speaking, crime procedurals are great, because they have a mystery element that can work amazingly well online. We can spin off portions online, and have fans work together to solve it, or outsource part of the plot."

The timer on Carl is counting down from 2 minutes, and Sarah says she got the video file in the morning, this could mean Carl was already dead by the time the video was posted. Tick Tick Boom - Sarah (LG15) on LGPedia.

Glenn Rubenstein was joined by guest co-host Mari Devincenzi (aka the voice of OpAphid) on tonights radio show on BreeFM. Mari has moved and has a new roommate. She is still teaching. They talked about the new Degrassi. There is a video for the new 90210. It looks bad. Perhaps the twist is that they are all unattractive and have poor fashion sense.

There was a discussion of Yentl Watching Yentl can serve as a form of punishment.
From Wikipedia: "Yentl in a 1983 American film directed by and starring Barbra Streisand based on a play by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer, itself based on Singer's short story "Yentl the Yeshiva Boy"."
It is a musical that takes place in the early 1900s. It takes place in a very traditional Jewish community.
Glenn read from Wikipedia, "Barbra Streisand portrays Yentl Mendel, a girl living in an Ashkenazi Jewish community in Poland. The film is set in an era during which women are forbidden to receive an education in Jewish Talmudic Law, but despite this, Yentl is instructed in the teachings by her Rabbi father, Rebbe Mendel (Nehemiah Persoff). After the death of her father, Yentl decides to dress like a man, take the name Anshel, and enter a Jewish legal school, or yeshiva. After entering the yeshiva, Yentl makes friends with a fellow student, Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin), and his fiance Haddas (Amy Irving). The story is complicated as Hadass' family cancels the wedding, and Hadass eventually finds romantic feelings for Yentl (as Anshel). Yentl eventually leaves Europe to study at a yeshiva in America, where women are openly permitted to study."
Barbara Streisand also directed Yentl. On her Wikipedia page it states that "Steven Spielberg called Yentl a masterpiece, and both won critical acclaim."

Glenn talked to Sara the other day. She is going to have a cameo appearance in the USA TV series Monk in the coming months.
Glenn played "Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart" and said it is always on in the background of his head. It is really a powerful song lyric. It reminds Mari of the movie " Old School". Glenn said it is the better version of anything Meat Loaf has ever attempted to do.
Mari asked what Meat Loaf would not do? (meaning: "I won't do that.")
The line "Get out of my mind and get into my life" sounds more like a threat. What about "a non stop miracle." The saxaphone did not die until the early 90s. The song was so overplayed in the late 80s. VH1 existed only to play this video.
The 1992-93 version of the most overplayed song was "Tom Cochrane - Life Is A Highway" (even when grunge was popular). They should have a way to punish artists who are this bad. Rudy Giuliani had it as his campaign song which is strange since Tom Cochrane is Canadian. Mari described it as an "audio holocaust'.
Glenn and Mari discussed Foxfest. People who go to Foxfest think Tom Cochrane is lame.
Mari said that Glenn is a total perfectionist.
Mari liked a lot of the older OpAphid stuff. She also really liked the " Remember Me?" video.
Glenn and Mari talked about politics. Mari said she hates the way all the media sources have their own agenda. She wishes it was just facts. There should be a non biased source with non biased information. Glenn said that someone who is President of the USA should be mentally smart. Hillary did not have a plan B after the early primaries. The World will not just give you a "pass". If Glenn had a voting "block" he could exert political power.
Nickelback makes Mari angry. Glenn plaed "Nickelback - How You Remind Me". The dude sounds bummed about something.
Mari liked the movie "Once Bitten " when she was 3 years old and she outlined the plot. One of the characters needed the blood of a virgin to retain her you and beauty. Glenn and Mari talked about Cleavon Little who she once described as a comic genius. They also talked about Karen Kopins.
Glenn and Mari talked about dreams. If a girl tells a guy that she had a dream where they made out how would you respond?
The movies you are into as a child could have an influence on how you grow up. It determines your reference point for things. What if a movie has a questionable message? Glenn does not go on the water because of the movie "Jaws". Is it better to have irrational fears of going in the water rather than messages like in the movie "Once bitten"? Mari said that even though the message was questionable she would never have followed the message of the movie. Glenn said that movies must leave an imprint. When you are a child and you have an acceptance of adult concepts without the other stuff needed to put it on your own context. Where does the responsibility lie?
Here is the archive of of stories from LG15 TODAY concerning Glenn's radio show on BreeFM.
We're under house arrest, but that doesn't mean girls won't have fun. - Sarah
The Edward Salinas website, on the Community News page, says: "5/21/2008 - I want to assure my young supporters that I have developments planned for the week's end that will assure our ultimate goal of ascending to higher office. Check back tomorrow for more details."
This was the question made famous in 1990-1991 with the airing of the television serial murder mystery, Twin Peaks. If, like me, you never watched the show and have no idea of the answer, now is your chance to watch all of seasons 1 and 2 anew on CBS.com : http://www.cbs.com/classics/twin_peaks/
Glenn Rubenstein will be joined by guest co-host Mari Devincenzi for this week's radio show on BreeFM.
Of course, Mari Devincenzi is better known to fans of Lonelygirl15, OpAphid, and REDEARTH88 as the voice of OpAphid - and once upon a time, she worked with Glenn Rubenstein as his personal assistant.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you a head's up about this week's BreeFM show. Many of you have been asking when I'd have Mari back on to co-host the show, and every time I've spoken to her lately it's seemed like her schedule's been pretty crazy. But she sent me a text message today to let me know that tomorrow night works for her.
Mari also wanted me to let you all know how much she appreciates your continued support - and while I'm not sure whether or not I am qualified to determine whether or not Mari "likes" you or "like likes" you, I will say that she did mention that she misses you all and thinks you're sweet.
Anyhow, be sure to tune in to BreeFM to listen live this Wednesday, May 20th at 8PM Pacific Standard Time, for what promises to be an interesting evening of talk radio.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued patience as things come together behind the scenes for the next season of REDEARTH88. Believe me, I'm more frustrated than anyone at how long these can things take. Hopefully, I'll be able to announce a few things that are in the works soon.
"I'm delighted to say that the ARG community faced the challenge head on. In a little over two weeks time, more than one thousand cranes were made and shipped to me from at least seven different countries."
"Prom Queen," an internet drama series that became popular through MySpace last year, is getting a Japanese adaptation. Like the original, "Tokyo Prom Queen" will be presented in 80 daily installments, each lasting only 90 seconds.
It's funny to see my mixi profile image here. Think you could maybe explain that?
By the way, if you need any help with Mixi, let me know.
Juuleeya is the person who invited me to join Mixi because Mixi is an invite only site. Juuleeya, whose icon is shown above, then sent me a note on Mixi about the LG15 community and that is how I discovered it. ~mm
"EVERYONE dreams of starring in one of their favourite TV shows – and I got to live that one out this week by making a cameo in Kate Modern. The Internet programme, now in its second series, is easily the UK’s biggest with 1.5million views each week. And you can watch me putting my acting skills to the test against The Royle Family’s RALPH LITTLE below."
"Gordon Smart (born 1980) is the editor of The Sun's celebrity-focused Bizarre column.
Smart joined the showbiz column in 2004 as Victoria Newton's assistant; when Newton was promoted to head of entertainment in November 2007, Smart was promoted to editor. Editor-in-chief Rebekah Wade has described Smart's promotion as "a historic moment."
The Guardian has noted that Smart is distancing himself from Newton."
Emma: Well, I escaped through a trap door in the back. An emergency exit. But, I just can't seem to figure out who killed her. I mean, The Order? It would make sense why they weren't shooting at me because I'm trait positive. But if it was the Order then why would they kill the head of Verdus Pharmaceuticals? You know? It just doesn't add up.
HEY! HEY YOU! yeah im talking to you.... what are you doing tonight? oh you have plans? well CANCEL THEM! why? because tonight there will be a show as good as prom. well.. ok maybe not that good, but still pretty awesome.
I've spent about two months getting together songs from around the globe to bring each and every one of you an eternal song. that one song that just speaks to you, or about you. its going to be one hell of a show!! hope to see you all there!!!
this, i think, would make a great km farewell. and i hope they are smart enough to use it as such.
sure, postmodern blurring of reality/fiction is a tad old hat in this millenium, but it is a huge thematic leap for the usually thematically-challenged creators.
the important part of km (and lg15) has been the development of the medium. really, the plot has always hinged on the vlogging/vocumentary style of delivery -- even if the dependence on this style has hampered plot development and strained credibility and suspension of belief.
to have gavin walking out sight of the camera -- the sole point of reference for the km/lg15 "reality" -- identifying the drama as nothing but "an internet show," is to have the creators speaking thorugh him, essentially saying "the gigs up. we've created a reality as strong as any other fictional medium, WITH a whole new medium. and that was the purpose of the whole game."
in short, they are summing up the success of the series -- the proving that internet drama can work and is, for now, the next wave in popular entertainment -- by admitting that the medium is the actual story.
leans a bit heavy on the mcluhanism of the mid-sixties, but it serves the purpose quite well.
mcluhan's "the medium is the message," theory is pretty simple.
i hate to quote wikipedia, but i'm in a rush, so:
"He pointed to the light bulb as a clear demonstration of this concept. A light bulb does not have content in the way that a newspaper has articles or a television has programs, yet it is a medium that has a social effect; that is, a light bulb enables people to create spaces during nighttime that would otherwise be enveloped by darkness. He describes the light bulb as a medium without any content. McLuhan states that "a light bulb creates an environment by its mere presence."[2] "
look at gavin... he's waving around a light bulb. "here's your kate modern. and here's your lonelygirl15."
DJ Romy just announced that on thursday she will be moving 5 hrs away from home for a new job. Since she will not have a computer this will be the last show for some time.
On March 25th 2008, Jonas was confused when Carl mentioned that Jonas had been the one to push Emma away. Jonas was dumbfounded by this comment, and it was eventually forgotten. On May 9th 2008, nearly 3 months after Emma's last appearance, after avoiding Salinas, Jennie encounters Elizabeth Avery, who tells her that Emma is going to be killed, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Before anything else can be heard, Jonas pulls Jennie away. Operation Emma - Gina (LG15) on LGPedia.
