Asking for Your Help - American Diabetes Association
Tuesday, October 20 ,2009

I will be walking October 24 to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. If you are able to, would you consider making a small donation to the cause? Every dollar raised goes to help in the fight against diabetes. Someone is diagnosed with diabetes every 21 seconds, this is quickly becoming the leading cause of death in America. America's Walk for Diabetes is my chance to give back (and yours as well). If you find this blog helpful or entertaining, please consider making a $5 donation. Thanks!

I've added several new galleries in the Photography section of the site. I mainly grabbed old photos, but I did spend 2 hours editing some new pictures today.

There are now pictures from Croatia, Bahamas, and Nevada as well as new HDR and flower photos.
I hope you enjoy

Two New HDR Photos with Photomatix
Wednesday, August 05 ,2009

I’ve been playing with the very cool Photomatix application for creating HDR images. Here are two (I am on vacation this week). The details:
- Shot 5 Exposures
- Handheld (less desirable for HDR, but out with kids and wife)
- Shot +/- 1 stop each
- Merged together in Photomatix standalone application

Join the Facebook Fan Page
Friday, July 31 ,2009
Many of you will notice that I am far better at posting to my Facebook fan page and to Twitter than I am to my blogs. This is due in large part to the fact that I can’t blog via my iPhone (but can easily post to Twitter and Facebook). So if you can’t beat em... join em.

Music for Sharing with Kids: Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
Saturday, September 13 ,2008

I often find myself working around my kids... which means we share things like music and television. Every once in a while you find something you don’t mind sharing with them, such as Jack’s Big Music Show or Chuck E. Cheese.
Today, we saw a great concert for kids... by a rapper called Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. The show was great (the rapper has a long career of doing alternative rap with Granola Funk Express).
We bought the CD, checked out his MySpace page. Its nice to find music you can blast without teaching your kids words you’d rather not like. Perfect music for working on deadline or just a long car ride with the kids.
Standout tracks include
2 Gotta Be Me
3 Luck
7 Family Tree
11 The Bluegrasshopper

Bill Mandates Captioning for Podcasts
Saturday, June 28 ,2008

Eighteen months after its enactment, the Federal Communications Commission must set up regulations and deadlines for "an appropriate schedule of deadlines for the provision of closed captioning of video programming distributed to the public over the Internet."
Three kinds of video would be affected:
- Material that has already been captioned for TV viewing
- Live programming
- Video that is "generally considered to be comparable to programming provided by multichannel programming distributors."
How about instead of sending money to worthless causes... they actualy fund this requirement.
Adobe Media Player Article Gets Longer Legs
Sunday, April 27 ,2008

A few folks have commented on the length of the article... here’s the Spark Notes version:
- Flash Video is getting really popular
- The Adobe Media Player will be easier for corporations, schools, and government to use due to Adobe's greater acceptance over Apple (and especially iTunes).
- The media player supports several models that are attractive to content creators
- The media player supports very rich statistics on media consumption
- The application is going to move onto all sorts of devices and platforms in the near future.
- If you are a podcaster... I predict the Adobe Media Player will have as great of an impact as iTunes did on podcast consumption.
The article is long... but worth the read... I promise.

Welcome to Colleen Ann Harrington
Monday, June 11 ,2007

If you’ve wondered why things have been a little quiet... it’s because my life is anything but! Welcome to Colleen Ann Harrington. She was born 5 weeks early (and no... we weren't ready). What started as an evening of Thai Food and a Movie Date (to see Knocked Up of course), turned into an early delivery.
Born – June 2, 2007
21 Inches – 6 Pounds 11 ounces
Mother and Child are both doing well.
Thanks for the kind words and well wishes.

Lost Fans or Casual Bystanders... Catch Up!
Saturday, September 16 ,2006

So iTunes and ABC are doing something cool. You can download the season finale of Lost (as well as Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives) for free. The first Million viewers can pull down the show as well as "The Lost Survival Guide" so you can catch back up.
As a podcaster, it's an interesting concept. Making something free, but 'exclusive' (if you consider a million to be exclusive). Still, I like free TV as much as the next creative type.
Be sure to check it out.... it's free after all!

The Experience Music Project
Saturday, August 05 ,2006

Designers will throughly enjoy two temporary exhibits, on one concert posters allows for great exploration of typography and print-making, while Double-Take counters classic artists like Van Gough to moderns such as Lichtenstein. The museum also offers some innovative computer technology that allows all-ages to get hands on with instruments as well as receive some digital tutoring in musicianship.
The building itself is even a piece of art and is a Frank Gehey master-piece that encourages you to explore. Even if you're not a passionate audiophile, the technology and design aspects of this museum make it a must-stop for those passing through Seattle.
iMix #4 - Radio & TV
Saturday, July 29 ,2006

Radio & TV features some songs for those who work in the film/video/broadcast industry. A little satire, a few good beats, and some nice instrumentals. Seems that all my iMixes run with a theme... but I guess all good mix tapes do.
iMix #3 - 1980’s Rewind
Friday, July 07 ,2006

"1980's Rewind" features Some songs that pulled me through the 1980's. Some alternative and pop classics as well as a few 'guilty pleasures.' These are the songs that don't embarass the decade.
