Jim Cameron Receives VES Lifetime Achievement Award
Sunday night was the annual VES Awards. This year we honored Jim Cameron with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Ed Catmull with the Georges Melies Award. Bill Paxton did the introduction, which was part honor and part roast ("Jim calls his parents on his birthday to congratulate them."). Read more about the Visual [...]
Crossword Puzzle Solving
A timelapse video of my approach to solving crossword puzzles. I start with the first word I can enter and expand from there, rather than doing all the across or down clues first. One frame per letter shot on my Canon 40D and processed in Lightroom and Premiere. See it in HD on Flickr or [...]

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
I know, I know, I'm late to this party. But I really didn't want to spent $5 to buy it on iTunes. Turns out you can stream Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog from Hulu. Thanks Hulu! If you're a Neil Patrick Harris fan (like me), or a Joss Whedon fan (like these people), or in search [...]
A Picture A Day (APAD)
I'm trying a creative experiment. I've been impressed with photographers I've seen who have done "a picture a day" and decided to give it a try myself. The basic idea is to take and post one image each day that represents something about that day. Some people go very hard core and only allow themselves [...]
