Saturday, February 6, 2010 11:58 No CommentsI teach part time at a local community college here in Longmont CO. In the summer I taught a videography course and have also been teaching web design/development related courses.

Thursday, August 27, 2009 7:23 No CommentsI have used Google (Apps) calendar for a couple of years now. Love it. But one thing I found annoying was trying to move quickly through the calendar to look ahead. Then, I accidentally placed my cursor over the small calendar that appears usually to the upper left of the main calendar and discovered my [...]
FLV Good, Better, Best Aspect Ratio Sizes (Adobe)
Saturday, July 4, 2009 15:11 No CommentsThanks to Adobe I found a great chart for encoding video to FLV at a variety so different standard (and not so standard) sizes which their gurus had tested to determine which were the best, better, and good settings.

Friday, May 22, 2009 15:21 No Comments… but what about video that gets results and doesn’t take a Hollywood production budget and crew to pull it off?

Monday, April 13, 2009 14:23 No CommentsBecause it would reduce paperwork and time if they could pay by credit card, I had a client recently indicate a desire to pay via PayPal and a willingness to pay the additional PayPal fees to have that convenience. Not sure of the PayPal balance required to offset that I entered “calculate PayPal fees” in [...]
According to Neilsen Xbox Dominates
Thursday, April 9, 2009 17:33 No CommentsA recent Neilsen study indicates, in my opinion, a very important and yet untapped question related to the console wars.

Thanks Amazon for the Kindle iPhone App
Monday, March 9, 2009 16:21 No CommentsOkay, I admit it. I have a severe, over the top lust for the Amazon Kindle.

However unlike them, I’ve not pressed it. Last week, Amazon [...]
