Yes, I have been rather quiet lately on my blog. Damn. And I thought I was on a roll… Well, I was on a roll, but not for blogginess. First of all, I was trying to finish up my last week at the Gnomon School. This involved making a final project for my dynamic FX [...]
My friend Pericles sent me this by way of Twitter by way of These Are Those Things (all of these interconnections- it’s how the interwebs work).

Now that I have some of this WordPress stuff figured out… I should follow up on my “Slusho Zoom” post from earlier. My video was chosen as one of the top five entries in the competition! That means: Freakin’ sweet laptop! It also means I need to find a home for my “old” one, which [...]

Oh boy! Juicy Hollywood gossip! There’s been talk lately about tensions arising between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
