A few new things on the horizon. Finally have gotten around to upgrading to Snow Leopard. Which is nice, you won’t notice but so much difference except for about 13GB more of free storage on your system drive, new look on your Dock item’s pop up menu and some faster start up and [...]

I have never really been a fan of country music, still don’t consider myself one, nothing wrong with it but just isn’t always my first choice (or 2nd) With that said, I don’t consider Taylor Swift “country music” per se, more like Pop music.
One of the more popular blogs, that I never frequent, posted this [...]

While putting together this blog and another site, LoosenMyTie.com, I have been trying to read other’s more often and specifically those in my field of producing and filmmaking. I stumbled across producer Ted Hope’s (21 Grams, In The Bedroom, Human Nature & more) blog and he posted this great article about the role of [...]

It’s obvious that David Stern and the League would love to see another marquee match up in this year’s finals with Kobe v. Lebron like last year’s Celtics/Lakers Finals.
I understand why people would want to see that but with the Cavs loss last night, it looks like the Magic maybe coming out of the East [...]

Adding fuel to the fire on the debate of who is better, Kobe or Lebron, NBA Hall of Famer and face of the NBA logo, Jerry West, weighed in with his opinion. The former L.A. Lakers GM who got Kobe to the Lakers, says that Lebron is the better player but Kobe is the [...]

In 2003 I started a project. In 2009, 6 years later, the project is almost finished.
While working my way to graduation at VCU (Richmond, VA) a required class was “Intro to Documentary Filmmaking”. Each person had to perform a short interview and turn it into a short narrative. I chose what [...]

I don’t want to hear that this can’t be the best series ever because it is Round 1. If we are talking about “best series”, any series is automatically in contention. I also don’t want to hear the Garnett factor, “Oh well, Boston’s best player isn’t on the court.” Maybe so, but [...]

I have posted some new videos to the site. I have been looking around for the best site to host videos.
I signed up for an account at Vimeo.com and uploaded something a friend and I had made because it was a larger file and that is Vimeo’s specialty, hosting larger files, therefore higher quality [...]

As someone who produces cable spots for TV, I pay attention to the things that you have taught yourself to tune out. But I’m betting that you have seen at least a few of the new spots for the Dos Equis campaign by the Mirrorball Agency out of New York. They essentially took [...]
