Cisco announced the winners of its Digital Cribs competition aimed at budding movie makers in which entrants were asked to film and interview someone “who has a passion for digital technology and is using it in their home in a unique and creative way.” Winners hail from all over the world, including the uber cool artist Robin Glass of Brazil who interviewed is himself, and Spike McKenzie who filmed Australian high school art and media teacher Travis. See the complete winners list here. Our favorite is CJ Bruce’s film of Austin Scott’s Digital Crib. Scott is an editor at Comedy Central, but he’s also an actor, artist, promoter and party animal who lives in Hollywood, Calif. The video is more of an advertisement for Apple iPod and iTunes. For example, if at one of his parties a hot girl approaches Scott for a song that he doesn’t have, he downloads it from iTunes – all without having to get up from his couch. He also got rid of his cable because he gets all his news and TV shows online. How cool it must be to be young again?
