- random - Adobe - iPhone - NYC
Things have been pretty busy lately. I've hosted some company at the house since Sunday. It was very fun but going out every night, even if only for a little bit, definitely made me kind of tired. My brain stopped working a few hours ago :-(
I don't have any plans this weekend, and I couldn't be anymore thrilled. I'm going to New Orleans next weekend for a bachelor party. I'm going with some of the craziest people I know, so that will be very interesting/exciting. If it rains this weekend, I will hopefully put in a lot of time in with some of the video projects I have been working on/thinking about. I am still in the initial stages of getting totally comfortable with the CS3 Production Premium stuff but I am happy to report that just a little while ago, I was able to accomplish an idea that I have been thinking about over the past few days. I didn't really accomplish implementing the idea, but I now know it is possible, and I now know how to set it up. There are so many different areas to dive into with these programs, it can almost be overwhelming.
I went through some videos the other day when a few friends were over. I would say that %30 percent of my footage is inappropriate to ever be reproduced, %40 is appropriate for a limited audience, and %30 is appropriate for everyone/anyone. I think that as time goes forward, points will be taken away from the percentage of footage that is inappropriate and will be given to the percentage that is appropriate, for a general audience. Contributing factors in this prediction include the fact that I can not imagine the next 10 years of my life producing as many inappropriate video moments that the past 10 have produced. Luckily, the entertainment value of video does not necessarily decrease with it's inappropriateness. Wasn't that interesting.
I am going to goto bed now. Here are a few pictures I took with the iPhone today when I was in NYC. Today was the first of many travel scenarios involving the iPhone. I am not disappointed with it's performance. I used it constantly throughout the day, including an episode of The Office, a few hours of music playing, phone calls, pictures and many emails. At the end of the day, I charged it on my train ride home, as it said the battery was @ %20. This is very acceptable.
Worthy to note is the fact that I ran into an old buddy from home at Penn Station who was taking the same train I was. We had an entertaining ride back.
Good night.

- Adobe - CS3 - Production Premium
[this will be boring to almost everyone]
I picked up a copy of Adobe CS 3 Production Premium. Actually I downloaded it and technically Disco Development purchased it, but regardless, I finally have one of the final pieces of the puzzle. I really can't get into how many amazing things this software package will allow me to do, but it should, as I could have boughten 3 8 gig iPhones for the price it cost to get it. I will slowly start working in some of the different applications, with the new Photoshop being on top of the list. This purchase will likely spawn the purchase of an HD camera, but I hope to not be looking for one of those guys until at least the Christmas season. I've been waiting to get this program for a while and this one time big expense up front, will definitely be worth it in the end, as future upgrade prices will be significantly less.
I'm really excited to start getting some video footage out there, I still have a few web site projects I would like to tie up prior to really diving into After Affects and Premier, but we will see how long I can hold off.
Have a good night!

- Rambling - LOST - Adobe
Greeting from the inside. Things have been a little busy lately. Not a bad busy, but a good busy. Busy like "I'm busy doing something I don't mind doing" busy. I can't really put my finger on what exactly I have been busy with, but I feel like some stuff has gotten accomplished and that's not usually a bad thing... unless you are accomplishing a task that wouldn't generally be consider good, which I wasn't, so in this case, like practically all others cases regarding myself, the product of all my busyness has been good.
All this talk about what I have been busy with has gotten me busy thinking about what I was actually doing this past week. Why don't you and I sit down and try to pinpoint a few exciting highlights, something for the record, just to show I wasn't busy laying in bed the whole time thinking about a new layout for my photo albums page.
-Let's start with Wednesday April 18th. Just the name "Wednesday" should be a HUGE clue about that days highlight, and if you can't figure it out, then you need to get LOST! So much has happened over the past few episodes my brain goes into overload just recapping the notable highlights. Two things that come to my immediate recollection is how surprised I was the second I learned Juliette was playing Jack, and secondly, how excited I was when I saw Charlie get an arrow to the jugular! I thought we had that little heroin freak, but it was just a tease... his time is coming up though, and once it does, the number of British accents on the show will be brought down to an acceptable number. [HAHA, sometimes I just like picking on something, and in this case it is foreign accents, but let it be known, I actually enjoy a good British accent...and while we are on the topic, I think it is worthy to note I spent a lot of time the past week saying "Welcome to the Rock" in a Sean Connery Scottish accent...I don't know why I laugh every time I say it, but I do, look for an audio clip in an upcoming blog post!] Anyways, LOST is awesome and I can't wait for tonights episode!
-The following day, as if my week couldn't get any better, I was the recipient of a visit from a good college buddy. Anyone who knows this man of many names would not find it surprising to hear that he rolled up to my place with a freakin' canoe tied to the roof of his buddies truck! The Barbarian was certainly rolling in style as he made his way to what I'm sure was an exciting camping trip with his fellow co worker and friend. They crashed at my place, another friend came over, and we put the new ping pong table through it's first of many beer pong sessions. Needless to say, the only thing keeping me alive the next day was the AMAZING weather which thankfully lasted the entire weekend. Oh, before I forget, here is a little picture of that evening:
-Ok, ok, weekend, weekend, what did I do? One thing I did was drop off and later picked up my new iMac from the Apple Store. Oh, how the saga with this new computer has been long and dreary. I am saddened to report that we still are not in the clear, as YET ANOTHER problem has arisen. This time, Apple is sending over a tech to my house to resolve this minor yet still annoying problem. If it wasn't for the sheer power and beauty of the monster I type this blog post on I would be incredibly angry... but the fact that Apple is simply the only choice I can see when buying a new machine and the good customer service I have received from their tech support people continues to keep me steadily in the Apple camp with regards to what kind of computer people should buy.
-What else, what else...yes, I remember some more! My good old fellow alum computer science friend who lives just a hop skip and jump away made some delicious burgers with chopped onions and Montreal seasoning...such burgers where the perfect reason to get the good old grill refilled, cleaned, and fired up. I will have to show you a picture of this grill someday. When good old lumBARDo and I purchased all the materials for the deck which was built last year [long, yet exciting story for another rainy day], the idea of buying a much more expensive grill then we actually needed did not seem like a bad idea, especially when compared to all the much worse ideas we had around that time, and as it turned out, none of our ideas ever turned out to be bad, including the grill, because the only item in the whole city of Albany more power full is this computer!
-Speaking of lumBARDo, I forgot that this past week the transfer of the home of the man who writes this blog was completed. Sign, seal, and deliver that check because I am now the sole owner of my humble little three family house..can you give me a holla? holla. thank you.
-What else is worthy to note...hmmm... I re-seeded the back yard. I find that kind of thing kinda fun...maybe not as fun as watching a TV show that I kinda like, but still better than having a cold. Actually, re seeding the grass is fun, because I get to use the "spreader" which is always kind of fun to use, but hauling a big pile of cement someone dumped along one of our fences was not very fun, hence my prior analogy.
-I made the first series of purchases for the new Adobe CS 3 suite... I picked up only Dreamweaver, as the suite containing the video editing tools I desire has yet to be released. It is very hard to comprehend how a 5 minute download cost me more than a decked out Xbox 360. I think there should be a full version available at half price for people converting from a "cracked" free version to the legitimate version [not that I am attesting to fall under such a category].
-OK, let's rap this up I gotta get some food soon and prepare for LOST. I enjoyed a nice bike ride. I enjoyed kicking the soccer ball around the front steps, but enjoyed something that happened during kicking the ball around much, much more, someone out there will get this, "One world, one language, one game"...it's from the '98 WC and hardly relates to what I'm not speaking about but still reminds me of it. The birds are eating the grass seed, yet I am unsure if it is at a rate that will affect my efforts of cultivating a fuller yard. Some very cool stuff happened at the "day job". Our season opening softball game, and my debut as an amateur coach, was unfortunately delayed this evening due to rain..and...here we are, back to right now. I hope you enjoyed reminiscing about my past week. I am sure that there are a few details that I may or may not have left out on purpose, but if I was living in a glass house, what would be so exciting about being on the inside of it?
From the inside of that house out, good night and have fun.
