Hi From the Symphony

Feb 3 2011

See that thing behind me? Know how much math is in there? So cool.

What wasn’t so cool was… what happened to dressing up for the symphony? I saw socks in sandals, beige adventure pants and tshirts. Maybe I’m behind the times.

Know what happened though? Not sure if you know this, but I’m the CEO of “The Perfect Timing Club”.

Okay so: my cab pulled up, I walked through the door as they were closing them, up the two flights, the attendants are hushing, “swiftly now”… down the stairs to my seat centre row first balcony* and 5 SWEAR 5 seconds later the lights dim and they kick it off. One of my better entrances in a while.

It all evened out later, as it always does with me; look:

“Stay ups” whatEVER, and I had to keep yanking them.

Tchaikovsky is my favourite guy, and think about going too. Leave at intermission if that’s enough… but hearing classical that loud is good for your brain maybe.

* that’s where the best acoustics are, from a good source. And here’s where to sit in Massey Hall, too.

Exploring a Hell Hole

Jan 24 2011

This was a failed Canadian Explorer exploration, actually, one of my first.

There is a place in Ontario where there are naturally-formed caves, and you can go visit them and embark on a 3km nature walk.

The owner wasn’t into being on the internet.

Not their fault, things were different… it was 2007.

Just a Minute – What Video Editing Looks Like

Jan 20 2011

It’s really coming along, and I cannot WAIT to show you this one… some of my best work yet.

Here’s the other part of what video editing looks like… a LOT of files:

My computer’s Finders keep crashing (both in the last 10 hours).

Below is the Final Cut file for the above video, ha.

You know when that happens… when like, everything accidentally lines up perfectly, your fingers freeze over the keys, you slowly go Command-S, back away from the keyboard, hands over head.
