I just made the deal that will put me back to work… which is good fir my savings but it’s definitely a holding pattern type job.
If I’m going to alter my life I’m going to have to dig in deep, and frankly that has always freaked me out. I’ve never been particularly good at getting [...]

Naming The Enemy Doesn’t Always Give You Power Over It
Around a year and a half ago I read Steve Pressfield’s “The War of Art” during one of my periodical “bootstrapping” phases. Within the pages of that book Pressfield gives a name to the writer’s ancient enemy- the mixture of self-doubt, procrastination, and general sluggishness that he dubs “Resistance”.
In my own experience Resistance has a [...]

The Infernal Device Realizes Its Potential
Like the pathetic fanboy that I am I was at the Apple store on the opening weekend of iPhone 3G sales. Unbeknownst to me at the time I was jeopardizing my unstable savings by toying with the affections of Verizon Wireless, but that is indeed another story.

Dark Knight
A week ago I was in the midst of what I was calling my Bat-Hajj. Three screenings of Dark Knight in 24 hours. Now, seven days and nearly 300 million dollars later I’m still thinking about Chris Nolan’s triumph.

Part idiot. Part hero. All loser.
No no. That’s neither right nor fair. I just did that for effect. Whereas I used to think the [...]

Hustle. Shuffle. Hustle.
Oh geeze, where to start?
It always seems to me that when I start down on any given path the first reactions I get from the planet are curveballs. They’re never “Man, I didn’t think of that” twists, just slightly obvious and rather disappointing banalities that fall under the label “survival”.
I’m sick of just surviving. I [...]

Best Laid Plans
All ready to settle in to an evening of audio work on the latest short I realize that I’ve frakked up big time.
I forgot to load the B-roll with the ambient sound while I still had the HD cam in my possesion. So that’s another night down the tubes.
I really, really hope this isn’t a [...]

Untethered
The problem with the new mobile app is a combo of autocomplete and the lack of a decent spellcheck.
Well that and the fact that I’ve managed to deal up my finances something fierce. Drastic measures are called for. Which means my retirement fund is about to be broken open like a big fat, Wall Street [...]
