NOTE: This was not published at the time. It was a forgotten draft until 2021. I remember getting interrupted and not being able to finish. However, now I think it’s kind of fun to read. Tonight is the last council meeting of the year. I type this as I sit at the Dias in council chambers. That has become the tradition I set into motion my … Continue reading Year End Review 2012
“Times like these you learn to live again.” – Dave Grohl I could not have put it any better. That whole song is the perfect four-and-a-half-minute summary of my experience in Austin Texas for South By South West (herein referred to as SXSW) or South By as the locals call it. On one of the many adventures McD and I did, we discussed the form … Continue reading SXSW – Times Like These
You know it is starting to get crazy when I have to combine days (or really I am just falling behind). NOTE: This was not published at the time. It was a forgotten draft until 2021. Also, this was the whole draft…wtf? Continue reading SXSW – Days 3 & 4
SXSW – Day 2 Today, I wanted to take a different approach to SXSW. Yesterday I was fortunate to see some really great panels with cutting-edge information. However, today I wanted to go do something that we did at Comic-Con, walk around. When you walk around these events and conferences you get to participate in some of the coolest corporate promotions out there. All kinds … Continue reading SXSW – Day 2
“The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.” – Albert Einstein. Ok, let’s start at the top, Austin is fantastic, the people are really courteous and friendly… we will see in ten days how they feel, but today they were great and helped me every time I needed it. This morning I went to the Austin Convention Center and picked up my badge … Continue reading SXSW – Day 1
“Seize the opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind.” – Bulgarian Proverb I am very grateful and honored for the many different hats I wear. This past week it seems like I wore a different hat every day and sometimes multiple hat changes throughout the day. I just want to share last week’s incredible situations while wearing some of those hats. Let’s start … Continue reading February’s Awesome Events
TRAFFIC LIGHT TUE FEB 8 9:30/8:30 I like this show and I wish Fox had kept the other name, “Mixed Signals.” It isn’t too hard to figure out why they would change that. Anyways, I do like this show, it seems witty and it has a different spin on the same old plot. I think the characters have a good mesh and somewhere to grow. However, … Continue reading Fox Screener Reviews
I have absolutely fallen in love with this thing called radio. (to bad it is dying)It is a great place to use a recording engineering degree and it’s a pretty fun job too. Oh and I am News-Talk, none of this “celebrity birthday / here is your next song” crap. We talk for hours over here. I owe much of my foundation to a little corny show … Continue reading Thoughts on Radio
In case you are not aware Fox is notorious for canceling programs immediately if the pilot episode isn’t well received. This week I had the privilege to watch the pilots for the upcoming Fox season, everything should be premiering next week. (This should have gone up a week ago, but it was my birthday week, so tough.) So without further ado here’s the break down. … Continue reading Fox Pilot Previews
Let’s start with Dinner for Schmucks, I saw this movie on Friday. I was excited to see the new Steve Carrell flick, I enjoy his humor and I like most of his stuff. Well not really this one. Man, did it take a long time to get to the dinner, which is really what everyone wants to see. It just had a lot of build-ups and a quick … Continue reading Weekend Movie Review
