Elemental-an introductory animated short.

My first self-generated animation short. Experimental is the key word here. Enjoy!!

Networking

I might be stating the obvious here...and others have probably said it more eloquently. The importance of networking. I find myself in job search mode these days, and attend many events and social gatherings (of a very broad range). I have friends and colleagues across so many disciplines, which is good as I have diverse interests.

Many of us do social networking. That's fine. Of equal importance (to me) is actually meeting and conversing with people thru traditional means. So, that's why you'll often see me at screenings, gallery openings, conventions, panel discussions, lectures, symposiums, etc.

What's to come from all of this? Connections, friendships, opportunities, time well spent.

If you see me out there w/ a bandaged hand...it's a result of pounding the pavement. 

RIP Poly Styrene

Just want to add my name to the (virtual) list of those who thought the lyrics and singing of Poly Styrene (solo and lead vocalist of X-ray Spex) were wonderful. From what I have read, Poly was trained as an opera singer...and it shows. In addition to the delivery, the lyrics were witty and insightful, offering an unique commentary on society and consumerism.

It's very sad that she is gone...her funeral just took place yesterday...

I'm thankful for what she contributed.

Way Overdue

Hello. I've seen other blogs in which the blogger adopts a confessional tone, apologizing for their lack of blogging activity. They apologize for not being a diarist. Is part of the blogosphere attitude that I (for instance) should post regularly? Well, there won't be regular blog postings on here. There's no need for it. I won't waste your precious time (I mean that sincerely) with moments of trivia.

Originally, I was going to start off this blog w/ tales of a wild Halloween evening. Then I hesitated...because there's no shortage of photos and accounts of revelry from that night. The club that I went to shall remain nameless. The entertainment promised did not materialize. The bartenders, bouncers and deejay seemed a) annoyed to be working and b) see a. The night overall was not wild (for me)...and in retrospect perhaps I should have hung out w/ the two attractive women (waving a rainbow flag) and saying how much they loved me (prior to arrival at club).

Instead, I held off with a blogpost...and rightly so, as people around the globe (Earth) have had their world (literally) turned upside-down.

So...as we're all adults here...I'll try to keep up with this, maintain an air of optimism (whenever possible) and try not to condescend to anyone.

Greetinks!

I purport to occasionally update this bog and to distribute (as best I can) worthwhile information, opinions and semi-intelligent discourse on all matters human.

Stay tuned for somewhat exciting updates.
