We have some really good stuff in b'media, and I'd like to alert those who haven't been paying attention recently. It's our local index to images, moves, podcasts, videos and other goodies made in and around Brattleboro.

Take a look to watch Kornguth's 3rd Annual Soap Box Derby, filmed one-handed, on a bike, in the rain! Check out some incredible views of Sicily, Go Skateboarding Day, BCTV summer video projects, and other videos.

The Brattleboro Police have their Wanted photos up on Flickr, and you can watch them here as a slide show now.

An eagle-eyed iBrattleboro reader noticed an interesting backdrop in a recent Entergy television advertisement - Brattleboro's Retreat Farm, home of the Windham Foundation's Grafton Cheese factory.

The viewer writes: "...this ad came on channel 3 from Burlington. I wasn't paying much attention until I heard the guy say something about how people are comparing Vermont Yankee to a worn out Ford Escort or something to that effect and he's claiming nothing could be further from the truth and I was wondering if a Ford Escort can wear out, why can't VY? And then I said, wait a minute. That's not VY in the background. That place looks familiar."

If you were worried about zombies in Brattleboro, worry no more. Your real concern should be giant penguins coming from the east.

Here is the second summer video production from the BCTV Summer Video Camp for your enjoyment (below). It is the story of a pizza delivery person who endures a series of trials and obstacles that threaten his chances of delivering the pizza on time. Will he make it, or will the flaming destruction of downtown Brattleboro stand in his way? Watch to find out.

Vermont has 'em.

On South Hero Island there is a top secret government work location. Burlington has three top secret government operations going. Williston has two.

There are top secret locations in Northfield, and Rutland, too. Brattleboro doesn't show any.

This is all information revealed by the Washington Post in their series this week on Top Secret America. It's a look at the way top secret work has mushroomed since 9/11 and has created a very large world within the United States that not many people know about. It costs lots of money and isn't very efficient.
