The first Blu-ray movies were released on June 20th, 2006. That was three and a half years ago. Amazing how time flies. Feels like I was just reading about it.
As a gadget geek and an indie filmmaker you’d think I’d be all over blu-ray. When DVD first came out in 1997 it was only a [...]
When I was a kid I was pretty lucky. I got a lot of the presents I asked for. Not all of them, but enough. Being the last of four kids by an 11 year age difference made me the baby that everyone spoiled in one way or the other.

I took this photo a little while ago. Just something ironic about it. Though I certainly feel bad for whoever owned it. But as I understand it the house has now been torn down.
Lets get a little political for a moment. I’m not a supporter of the George W. Bush administration. I feel that as a result of his presidency we entered into a sort of dark ages in this country. During most of this presidency we’ve been at war, we’ve been attacked at home to an extent [...]
Last night I had a dream of a grand parade. There were sand colored roman columns nearly six stories tall that lined a mall that was easily a half a mile long. Think of the visuals from the film “300″ because that’s what this dream was like, probably inspired by seeing a trailer for the [...]
