So you want to be a podcaster…
I don’t have a podcast. I’ve only been a guest on one a couple times. But I listen to a lot of them, and if I have one piece of advice for would-be podcasters it’s that… Listener fatigue is real. You really … Continue reading

iPhone vs DSLR: Test #1,982,461
I know I’m not the first person to do this — in fact, I’m probably closer to the 2 millionth person — but I thought it’d be a fun experiment nonetheless. On my recent honeymoon to Italy, I took pictures of … Continue reading

How does a technie/filmmaker/magician pop the big question?

Your Unspoken Miranda Rights
Anyone who’s ever seen the first five minutes of any TV cop show knows you have the right to remain silent, right to an attorney, etc. But those aren’t your only rights. Here are the ones “the man” doesn’t want … Continue reading
10 Biggest Inaccuracies In The Aborted Kennedy Miniseries
It’s been a couple weeks since the History Channel abruptly decided to shelve its Kennedy miniseries starring Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes and still no other network has stepped in to pick it up. Some believe the project was … Continue reading
Is à la carte cable really the answer?
There’s a growing demand for “à la carte” cable pricing — i.e. the ability to pick and choose just the individual channels you want. After all, why pay for stuff you aren’t using? You don’t want the electric company forcing … Continue reading
