Yeah, yeah, I know. I haven’t been blogging much. Not to trot out the old canard about being busy, but holy crapsteak I’ve been busy. It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about you though, gentle readers. I’ve been blogging secretly in my mind for days! Here are a few items I might have brought [...]

I’ve been so busy lately I literally forgot to blog. Fortunately, I keep the interesting stuff in open Firefox tabs. To wit… Check out these awesome retro magazine ads for LOST heads (I need to get Emily to translate for me). The subtitles on the DVD release of the last year’s awesome Scandinavian horror film, [...]

I wrote a lengthy post yesterday about California’s proposition 8 and the definition of the word “right” as it pertains to constituations and case law and WordPress ate it and spit half of it back up. I got frustrated and couldn’t rewrite the thing. I’ll get to it soon. Been busy lately but have lots [...]

Yay! Gravity Lens is back!

That is to say, the hammer has fallen.  On me.  Ow.  A metric ton of personal and professional crap has piled up this week and I’m trying to keep my head above the water line (and to not mix my metaphors so much — yikes). Anyway, until the smoke clears, I encourage you all to [...]

The Vermont International Film Festival blog is back up for the [...]

As usual, the fall is eating up some of my blogging time.  But I’m still seeing all these bloggable things, so I now present you with a list of links that have been languishing in my Firefox tabs for a week or so… Gerry Canavan has provided a list of his DFW posts over the [...]

This is a big weekend. Tonight is my first Intro to Filmmaking class of the fall semester at CCV and I’m busy getting the course documents in order. After class tonight I’ll edit together a series of award-winning short films by Vermont filmmakers that the Vermont International Film Festival will screen at VCAM as part [...]

We just got back from a great weekend in eastern Pennsylvania with my extended family. We ate loads of great food, played way too much Mafia and spent several mind-bending hours last night working our way through Portal — one of the coolest video games ever made.  The cake is a lie. Alas, it was [...]

Emily and I are heading to eastern PA for the next several days. I’ll have my laptop with me but I have no sense of what connectivity will be like where we’re going, so things may get sleepy around Candleblog for a few days. I’ll try and keep the twitter whale happy at least. I [...]
