Towards the end of 2011, a fairly new online company called TagWhat that describe themselves as “The mobile encyclopedia of where you are” contacted me. An attentive Multimedia Content Producer there liked my videos I call “Matches” and they wanted to collaborate. The company develops and runs a located-based App for mobile devices, the idea being that when you are somewhere in the world and want to know a little about a very specific place, you can call up a story of that location using their app to look and listen to. They’ve been covered by the Wall Street Journal, AP, Mashable, and is a People’s Choice Award Winner.
After some back and forth, my “Matches” series of memory videos became part of TagWhat’s mobile encyclopedia.
This seems to be an example of what is called, “Slowly getting one’s words and stories out there one small discovery by small exposure at a time….”
And if you want to have an actual look-listen at my Matches series of videos to see what they see, you can have get to them by clicking here.
So, hey, stuff happens,

A couple of years ago I posted a short-short story called Red Ball, which became rather popular and got comments like “breathtaking” and “This is great. Really creepy!” and “YES! Creepy… for sure.” and “Creepy is the word! Especially the 4th corner.” You can read the original story here.
Now I have gone and made a short video of it. I narrate it. You can see it by clicking on this sentence.
That’s it. Thanks for coming by. V+

See my latest video right here, right now CLICK CLICK CLICK HERE HERE HERE….
Might have noticed. Christmas time. I’m in hustle mode. I made another video, about my How To book. It’s jokey! It’s short. It’s for all those people you care about…even those you don’t. What am I saying, slow person? BUY THIS BOOK for friends/family/enemy/guru/neighbor/alien entities. Whoever. Whatever. Buy forever.
GO HERE to see and hear more — and buy–print or ebooks!
Main Idea:
The aim of this book is to supply readers with practical examples and helpful hints as to how to spot, understand, and instill a real sense of self in your innermost being. Yeah, really. This book’s contents should lead readers with a more practical self-knowledge, peace of mind, spiritual nurturing, fuzzy thinking, and strange sexual longings you really should just keep to yourself.

I went to this Brussels restaurant. I indulged therein. Leaving, I pocketed their matchbox. This 2:01 minute video tells the wondrous story. Of adventure and true, vivid gourmet deluxe.
It is one in an ongoing series that perhaps has no end.
Now, to view this most excellent, enlightening video, CLICK HERE.
Thanks for reading & seeing. – Vincent

First there was my “How to find yourself (or a reasonable facsimile)”—-now there comes the real live super exciting mind-blowing not nearly over-hyped enough ILLUSTRATED VERSION of this classic that’s only been around a year or two (in its non-illustrated version).
So I made a video about it. To give my massive fan base a slurpy mouth-watering idea of the laughs and joy and the by god sheer freshness and marketing adjective marketing adjective marketing adjective so that each and every one of you and you and you won’t be able to contain yourselves and go buy one. Or two. Or more. For friends, relatives and those smarter, more upmarket pets of yours.
Buy
the ebook
or
print book
Oh, and see the video. Of course. Click here to view it and bring a little joy in your flippant modern day heart.
Thanks for reading to this discursive advertising message that wasn’t.
I’m done here for now.

Recently I made a short video based on a poem, “Losing a Glove,” written by a friend of mine, Jeannette Cook.
I have edited another slightly different version of the video, and read the poem myself.
The incidental music is by Explosions in the Sky, from the CD Memorial (track is “Memorial”).
You can see / hear it by clicking on this sentence!
You can hear Jeannette read it in a slightly different video cut & music, if you missed it the first time around: Jeannette Cook reads the same poem, “Losing a Glove”.
Thanks for coming by. – Vincent

I a have poet friend. Of some years standing. She wrote a poem I liked, and she agreed to allow me to put together a video of it.
The poem is called “Losing a Glove.” The poet is Jeannette Cook.
I took a year to take the photos.
The incidental music is by Bjork, from the CD Volta (track “pneumonia”).
You can see and hear it by clicking right here.
I’ll be posting another version, with my reading the poem, shortly.
We did this before, with a poem called Button.
Thanks for coming by. – Vincent

Chapmans Publishers, UK, once wrote of a novel of mine: “Vincent Eaton has more imagination on each page of his writing than many an author has in a whole book.”
…This was the beginning of their rejection of the book….
I made a short video of the rejection letter:

Once in a while I do a short video on some matches. Usually memories a book of matches I’ve kept when going somewhere, doing whatever I did. Places that handed out matches, which they do less and less because of the recent horror of smoking, so matches are a sort of endangered species.
I never smoked, but I collected, haphazardly and without specific purpose, matches.
I got this one from the Grand Canyon when I first visited.
And here’s the LINK TO THE VIDEO I made and have fun. Thanks for dropping by. V++
