I actually LOGGED IN to the post apocalyptic hellscape that is Myspace yesterday. That’s how bored I am online without Facebook. There’s nothing there. It’s just an empty soulless place where profiles go to die. I think Myspace needs to be re-classified as ANTI-social media. Even emo goth kids can’t Read more…
Still no Facebook, no cheating. This must be what a “timeout” feels like. My parents were of the era when they used to paddle kids for being bad, so I have no clue what the non-violent parenting model feels like. I hate texting, so I’m really not getting communication from Read more…
I deleted the link to Facebook from my shortcuts. It was just too easy to accidentally hit it. I mean actually accidental, not I’m pretending it’s an accident so I can cheat accident either. I feel like I just locked myself in a closet. It’s terrifying how much Facebook was Read more…
No Facebook for 30 days. So far so good. I have a routine. Wake up, feed cats, check email, log in to facebook, check webstats, and read some news. Removing #3 wasn’t that big a deal today. I’ve got so much work to do for the paid job that I’m Read more…
Another Closed Captioning Crisis resolved. It didn’t take that long, but it was a headache and a half. The solution was to use a standard DV timeline, turning off the Mercury Playback Engine of the NVIDIA card and to roll back the IEEE1394 driver to a pre-64bit legacy driver. It Read more…
So all the work done on the closed captioning over the last year has a major snag. There are ‘dropouts’, meaning whole sentences that aren’t making the cut. Because of broadcast standards and practices, this is unacceptable. Now I have to figure out how to fix it. Whilst working on Read more…
Great literature brings great comfort in times of need. “Do not be afraid. Our hope cannot be taken from us; It is a gift” – or “[i]to him that is pitiless the deeds of pity are ever strange and beyond comprehension[/i]” ring in my head and give illumination in the Read more…
Every year I read J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. I don’t just read it, I totally geek out and go into the BOOK OF LOST TALES, UNFINISHED TALES, and CHILDREN OF HURIN to make it a somewhat complete reading experience. This is both my favorite book of all time, and contains my Read more…
Taking a short break from the big edit job, I finished another podcast episode that was looming. I’d been chipping away at this for weeks, a little bit each day. It’s still months behind schedule. I got it done and put it out today. I don’t have time to market Read more…
After 2 weeks of solid recovery, my health just took a serious nosedive. Last night I went to the park for the 4 mile walk. It felt great, my stamina was up, my speed increased, and I thought it was an improvement. I get home, and my ankle was a Read more…
Edited my The Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) and The Columbus Film Council (CFC) Media Arts Fellowship Grant DVD demo. Wow, that was a mouthful. I was a finalist last year, and this is only the 3rd year of these grants. There’s three $1,500 grants and one $3,500 grants and Read more…
