Wow, it's been a week!
I haven't written much here because I haven't had much to say. Last week, I worked on reinstalling all kinds of stuff on my Powerbook. Most of that is done, but I have a few things left to install. I'll tell you one thing, though: Doing a fresh install -- where you backup everything, wipe your computer, and put everything back -- is a lot more involved than just an across the board upgrade of your existing software. It's not for the faint of computing, that's for sure.
I've been using my new iLife '06 software to create a new personal Web site. This one will look better, be more informative, and just be fresh and new. I'm working on something else, too, but I'll tell you more about that later...
Yesterday was the help-out-my-siblings day. In the morning I went to my sister's church to do sound for their contemporary service. Their regular guy was gone and they didn't have anybody else that was available to do it. My brother-in-law remarked that yesterday's sound was the best he'd ever heard there. What can I say?
I also gave a lot of help to my brother Chris. He's the one that's in town to work on this animation that he'll be submitting to the Siggraph show. Not only does he need help with editing the final shots together to make the final product, but he was struggling with camera angles. "Camera angles in an animation?" you ask? Yeah. In the 3-D world of animation, camera angles are just as prevalent as they are in the real world. The story can be made or broken with good or bad camera angles, and he wanted my advice on a bunch of that stuff.
So that's the update! This week we'll be presenting the Mayor's State of the City video -- the one we've been working on since about October. After that it's on to one of the many other projects we have on our plate. Oh, speaking of jobs, I found a few listings on CareerBuilder that I'm interested in. We'll see what happens.
Smiles!
