In 2006 I made the switch to Dreamhost as my preferred web host. I don’t even remember the names of other hosting companies I have used but I’ve stayed with Dreamhost simply because what they offer as a hosting product 100% meets my needs and because I just like their attitude. Initially I signed up [...]

*Easy… the first few paragraphs are about why I’m able to make this comparison… bear with me. I find myself in a quandary. Apple says it’s AT&T’s fault and AT&T is pointing the finger at Apple. Either way, after Apple swapping out my iPhone a few months ago didn’t resolve my connectivity issues  (while I’ve continued [...]

So several years ago I began experimenting with alternatives for tv via computer. I’m old enough to remember when we actually paid for cable because there were no/less commercials. When did we start paying people to advertise to us? Okay, enough of that rant. I don’t actually remember the names of some of the torrent [...]

I recently collaborated through Colorado Video Cooperative to put together a video spot for The Optical Centre, Inc in Longmont Colorado. Jeff Lees, and the crew at The Optical Centre have made a commitment to exploring and implementing new mediums for advertising that’s pretty impressive. While visiting with them putting together their video we learned [...]

I 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. Right after the director of the department I teach in recruited me for the videography course I got a second email from her inquiring if [...]

There’s an old song the Smothers brothers did on their show (I know, dating myself here) [...]

I 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 [...]

Thanks 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. Problem is I cannot for the life of me find it online again and I have [...]

… but what about video that gets results and doesn’t take a Hollywood production budget and crew to pull it off? I’m really excited to have been asked to be part of the Learn About Web Denver conference taking place at the Curtis Hotel September 14th and 15th. The goal of LAW-D is to help [...]

This past two weeks I had the opportunity to participate in an awesome project. The Silicon Flatirons Center (out of CU Boulder) was having a pseudo-gala event honoring several individuals and companies for their work in the entrepreneurial world and for who they were in business in general. One of the awards was a Lifetime [...]
