Dead Reckoning Distribution Challenges
This morning I woke to another notice by Oneload.com that I’m in violation of their terms of service. I say “another” because it’s the second time I’ve had this happen, the first being Dailymotion.com because we had a web link at the end of our video. I’m guessing that’s the reason this time around but [...]

The title of this post is rather tongue-in-cheek. It is in fact somewhat true though. In addition to some of the doc development I’ve been doing and networking and building partnerships for the film stuff, I’ve partnered with long-time friend and theologian Dr. Brian Mattson to launch the brand Dead Reckoning.

I’ve had a crush on them cam since before it was released. Two years ago, I played with one at their NAB booth. Then I meet a chap out in California who had one he’d rent me. Now I need something to shoot. I got things set up with a local coffee roaster I’ve been [...]
Read moreI love my Microsoft Surface
This is my impression and use of the Microsoft Surface. In the two weeks I’ve had it, it’s gone everywhere with me and completely replaced my MacBook Air in non-production-specific environments. I can do my creative development and business management very well in the Windows RT space on the Surface. For the video nerd, I’m [...]
