Ahh… I’ve always wanted to write one of those link-bait post titles. Now at least I have a fun excuse.
I noticed today that in the “Smiley menu” in the Messages compose window, that the alcoholic beverages have been edited out. Normally, in the Objects section of the emoji menu, the order goes Baby Bottle, […]
Dear Apple,
I just started a new preditor job, and since FCP 7 is never coming back (as long as I tried to cling to it), I had to decide whether to go with FCPX or Premiere CC. Premiere CC seems closer to what I want in an editor, but since it also crashes like […]
At the end of July, my family and I are moving to Seattle. Just looking at stats about where we will be, and how walkable it is, I’m very much looking forward to the change.
Where we are now has a Walk Score of 15 out of 100 (almost all errands require a car), but our new home in Seattle has a Walk Score of 82 — significant improvement!
I was digitizing some old VHS tapes, and came across this. I’m guessing I’m about three years old, and I’m bringing a bowl of water to my grandparents’ dog, Silva. Shot on 8mm film by my Grandpa (Lawrence C. Swenson).

I tried, for the better part of the afternoon, to install a Rocketfish USB 3.0 PCI Express Card RF-P2USB3 in my Mac Pro (“Early 2008” MacPro3,1 running 10.8.3), and it looks like I’ve finally succeeded.
I’m trying to do this because, for whatever reason, the USB3 cards that are available for the Mac are easily […]
Several people have encouraged me recently, since I have feet in both the video production and Mac & iOS development camps, to blog about video production for developers.
On September 26, 2009, I gave a Blitz Talk at the C4[3] developer conference entitled Video and You, intended to give developers some quick guidelines and tips about developing promotional videos for their apps.
A lot has changed since then, but please enjoy this PDF version of the talk and slides as something small to tide you over while I work up some more modern musings on the subject.
