14 blocks north. Im excited, but Im not sure how Im going to pay for it. Not too easily, I expect. More details and pictures to follow.
even though I sit here a lot of the day and answer trouble tickets, I never write anything. I think Im too tired from answering e-mails that all look like…
Today I got my wireless connection finally working. Its wonderful. Im excited about it, in fact. Now I have an 8-port 10/100 switch and a 4-port 10/100 switch with a…

Why in the world is the “crew courtesy screening” for HOW TO LOSE A GUY… a day after the New York premiere? I feel like were not appreciated because we…
As you might be able to tell from the icon, this isnt a movie gig, nor is it full-time at all. I just signed on to do some tech support…
…but ill say it anyway. last night was Kims birthday celebration at el Aztecas in the city–the usual venue–and it was fun. Mike, Katie and myself had talked about catching…
Today I left the city and realized that I was pretty much just happy. I feel like Ive been being productive, working on business plans for a business idea that…

E-A-G-L_E-S – Eagles! Thats about all I wanted to say right now. Thanks for coming. Everybody use the green theme today just for good luck. That is all.
When its kinda late and im feeling weirdly uncomfortable in my skin (or in my place and station, which is what that really means for me), I often wonder what…
Ill tell you where it goes. It gets invested in relentless apartment hunting, for which there is very little return. It gets invested in sporadic job hunting, tricky because committment…
In case you forgot, the Disjointed Story Project is still going on, and has reached a critical threshold–read about it in the report below from our editor Megan. ********** OK.…
It feels like its been forever since last I updated, and indeed its been awhile, but Ive been busy, at least, keeping my time full either with stuff that I really enjoy (see the movie below) or stuff that I loathe (whose details will be spared in this particular entry). Ive been working on transferring video to VHS this past weekend and although Ive failed thus far, I know I can do it–its merely a matter of time and practice. I hope.
Check out this new flick while youre here: The Florida Bananas. Its an old-fashioned exploitation movie, starring Katie and Rebecca, the genius actors behind The Pillowman Cometh from last weekend. This movie is much more complex and indeed almost reaches the limit of the shoot/edit/deliver constraints Im trying to maintain. As is, Im a little behind on this one, but enjoy watching this flick anyway.

Im back to work tomorrow, shooting something corporate in midtown, so well see how it goes. Getting enough sleep tonight is paramount, I think, because Ive been tired too much recently. Now Im off to move Katies car.
Yesterdays work was fine–easy enough, although there was a switch in the beta deck that i couldnt find and thus couldnt figure out how to switch the monitor to source…
So it turns out that todays job can be done by two people, and that I should be that other person. That nobody knew that until very late last night…
Actually a variation on the Clapboard main theme, “forrest” is my first attempt at a simple new theme. Its very light, graphically, fast-loading and simple. As I get a little…
Although I didnt leave the apartment today, I did have a productive day, sending a few more queries here and there to try to get some work for the interim…
Hey everybody! Check out the movie that we made today–The Pillowman Cometh! Katie, Rebecca and myself teamed up to make this opus, using couches and blankets to create a totally-convincing old-school fort, hours of swordsmanship training to re-create vividly-lifelike fight sequences and the industrys best writers to polish the snappy and masterfully-delivered dialogue.
Below is a low-quality (but still gripping) version of our afternoons distraction. Please note the brilliant loop job done right here in our Bay Ridge studio, as well as the truly-modern editing work. Weighing in at two minutes, this piece wont even tax your patience to download and watch.
If youre using Netscape, you may not be able to play the file right from your browser (some versions are incompatible with this .wmv hack, it seems). I apologize for that and will look into streaming other formats in the future, because I want to encourage the use of alternative browsers as much as I can. If you cant play it from here, click Read more… to get a list of downloadable files for you to grab to your hard disk.
Or, for the slightly more technically-adept, download the larger (36.6 meg) divx version. Its much better quality, and for a movie of this caliber, you need quality.
