So as part of my job I spend most of my day in Adobe Premiere. Or, at least, I intend to... I swear Premiere spends as much time crashed as it does running. The setup I'm on includes a Canopus DVRexRT, which is very cool for doing realtime effects and such, but stability was obviously not on the requirement list. A Premiere/PC setup may save money over Avid and its ilk, but anyone going this route should really evaluate cost savings vs. loss of productivity.

And no, Final Cut Pro was not an option. The ability to do transitions and effects without rendering is integral to the specs, and FCP won't do that.

The numbers even got higher than that... Something in Gospelcom's installation of Intershop is haywire right now and sent me at least 5000 error messages. I was getting probably 100 per minute.

health quotes

Right now my task is to find inspirational quotes that correlate to the topics for health shows we'll be doing. I must say I've never really thought about how hard it is to find good quotes for "Health Over 70" and "Diabetic Living."

box office prophets

Recently I've started reading the site Box Office Prophets. It's not that I really care how much movies are going to gross (though I am interested in that), but where else can you get great lines like this: "I’m more than willing to suspend disbelief, but I am not willing to suspend you taking my common sense for a long ride, walking it to a secluded spot in the woods and going all Miller’s Crossing on its ass."

Heh. Read them. Laugh. Skip the number charts if you feel so inclined.

rosie thomas again

So I'm listening to the KCRW archive of her MBE appearance this morning, and the first thing that strikes me is "Wow, her voice is so much smaller when she's talking." That's crazy. Oddly enough, much the same could be said about Sarah, whose talking voice is much different than the one she sings with.
