I’m at NAB Expo again this year and today was the first day of training at the POST|Production conference. The conference is run by Future Media Concepts which is headed up by Ben Kozuch. Ben is an ex-Israli Commando and it shows… he runs the conference, which has over 200 classes in 10 tracks, with the precision of a military operation. I ran the Digital Video Production Workshop (DVPW) for NAB for 2 consecutive years a few years back, and that was only with 3 tracks of DV insanity across 2 days. I can’t even imagine 10 tracks across 6 days. Better you than me Ben! ;->

Welcome to my new Blog! Today is my birthday and so I thought, “What better day to start a blog!” My buddy Scott Kelby has been after me for more than 2 years to start a blog to share with my extended friends and family all the stuff that I usually share with him (mainly because he’s sick of hearing it). I think if he never has another conversation with me about codecs… it will still be to soon! So I’m going to do my best to post all of the tips, tricks and insider’s info that comes my way, so that I can at least have a record of them before they evaporate into the ether that is my brain’s memory.

BTW, this picture of me was taken by who was a student in an Adobe Lightroom class that I moderated/proctored at the Digital Technology Center in Sarasota, FL in February. The class was taught by Scott Kelby and he used me as an impromptu model in the class. I noticed it on his monitor and told him that it looked pretty cool and he graciously allowed me to have a copy… Thanks Dale!
