Camera falls from airplane
As a filmmaker, I’m always looking for new techniques. Not flashy, effective. A Go-Pro camera gets dropped from a plane and not only survives, it makes an lovely film.
This video inadvertently shows how quick cutting can be effective, even though it’s all one shot.
The Rain of King Lear
A wild night of Shakespeare in the Park last night. Rain was a major character. While cars in Islip, an hour away on Long Island, were getting flooded in record numbers from 5″ of rain in ONE hour, I was in the standby line hoping the storm was just threatening enough that 50 people (that’s about how many were ahead of me) would cancel.
Patient Apple Care Tech Saves My Day
This is the first tech blog I’ve ever considered posting. I’m not a techie, far from it. I do believe that forums are the secret sauce of the internet, except they let me down this time. So, 27″ iMac was running super slow, I was pulling my hair out. I did a MacKeeper scan, searched forums only to find solutions that had many steps and were fairly indecipherable. I thought it had something to do with cleaning out cache, libraries, whatever. But I couldn’t find out how, not even on YouTube. So, I called Apple Care, one very big reason I’m a fan of Apple. They know their stuff! A tech named Brad patiently walked me through it, not too hard. It not only made perfect sense but what he did wasn’t even hinted at in online my search.
