Ben: Partly because they don’t wanna see it and partly , for the most part, because people, when they are having troubles, are living very private lives and they don’t want other people to see it. It is important  particularly where we are dealing with combat veterans, that we are sensitive to this issue or at least aware of this issue. I think there is a great number of people who are, for the most part, oblivious to it

BBO: The movie takes an unusual route to get funding. There is a website ( www.freezeframe4vets.org ) where people can donate money towards the movie, dedicate their donation to a veteran and have their name displayed on the movie-poster - or download the script in return for their donation.

Ben: Yes.

BBO: In addition the film company goes the traditional route for funding and – you are blogging !

Ben: I am writing occasionally online. Seriously, why is it called a blog ? I get the “log” part but what does the “b” stand for in blog ?

BBO: I have no idea [both laughing]

Ben:  [still laughing] I was just wondering if it is my b-log.  Seriously. What exactly … where does the word “blog” derive from ? I mean, I sort of know what it is but what I am doing is I am contributing occasional small bits of writing to the website. It’s not like there exists a Ben Browder blog. There is a Freeze Frame website and I am contributing to it. Most call it blogging, so be it, but since I don’t even know what that word comes from, I know what a blog looks like. I don’t picture myself as a blogger [laughs] How about that ? [laughs]

BBO:  Actually I should know because I build websites for a living

Ben:  Are they called something different in German?

BBO: No, they are actually called the same but I never actually think about blogs. I don’t blog.

Ben:  Yeah, where DOES that word come from ?

BBO: I have no idea! I’ll do the research  [note: blog stems from “web-log”. The community shortened it to “blog” – so easy !]

Ben: I sort of get twitter [laughs] I understand the notion of where that word comes from because  it’s just, you know, a little twitter of to the side.

BBO: That was actually my next question – Is twitter next ? [laughs]

Ben: Is Twitter next ? Mostly uses I see for twitter are basically people saying “I am going for coffee”, “I am watching the game”, “Why does my butt hurt?” you know, things like that [laughs]

BBO: [laughs]

Ben: So, I don’t see myself twittering [laughs]Plus  it seems to me that Twitter is best utilized by people with Blackberry’s or  devices like that, I don’t owe one.

BBO: You don’t own one? You should get one!
