Junk Mail

Disgusted by the gross amount of paper waste that pours through our mailbox each week, I shot this little protest movie. Hundreds of those prepaid return mail envelopes, largely from credit card companies and banks, end up in the trash each month. An utter waste. Each time one of those envelopes is returned it costs the companies money. I seal the empty envelope and mail it back, wasting the companies revenue. If a huge number of thepopulation did this in a co-ordinated effort, these financial institutions would get the message. No one can force them to stop the waste, but mney talks and if they waste enough of it, who knows...

Well... if you really want to help the environment and save yourself a bunch of hassle you might just try www.optoutprescreen.com

It's the official opt-out web site of the credit reporting agencies. File a permanent opt-out with them and you will stop receiving all that crap. I did it 3 years ago and it slashed the amount of junk mail I get.

A friend.

Semanal08 : Week13 - Fun With Water & Leaves

Click to Play On a chill but pleasent spring morning, our little Sprite finds many an amusement in the back garden wonderland of fallen leaves, puddles, dirt and all manner of things to get himself filthy dirty and soaking wet. Oh well, boys will be boys. Anyhow, it keeps him busy and occupied for a time. Even if it means we have to rake up the leaves again after the G-Express ploughed through them for the umpteenth time.

iPrincipal : My Thoughts on Technology in Elementary School

A few weeks ago I received a request from the local school district to fill out an online survey that was focused on the use of technology in our elementary schools.

The evenings presentations were orchestrated by Ted Lai, the Director of Technology and Media Services for Fullerton School District, who had been guiding several programs that had children as young as Kindergarten and First Grade creating media as part of their education. Of course, this appealed to me immensely. As a media creator myself I totally appreciate the value storytelling has in society, and am very excited kids are getting a chance to discover this for themselves. The fact that they are getting hands on with visual media and the technology used

I Miss My Mummy

Sometimes, a little boy just needs his mummy. Even though that little boy is 43 years old, mum still knows best, and every once in a while it's nice to go around to mum's house and soak the benefit of her worldly knowledge, advice and reassurance. Where is this sentimentality coming from tonight? This evening I had the pleasure of presenting a few samples of my work at the Orange County Multimedia Association Digital Video SIG. I was quite happy to be asked to do this, as I had been attending these meetings for many years and had wanted to present for a long time. One of the leaders and hosts of the group saw some work on my website and was suitably impressed to warrant an invitation to me to share some of my motion graphics tips and techniques with the group. So tonight I got to stand there for ten minutes showing off four of my best samples of work a a precursor to next months meeting where I will case study and dissect a project in detail. I received some great feedback for
