I ordered the new 5th generation iPod. Black. 80 GB. Colour screen supporting videos and photos. As far as FedEx is concerned, it’s still in Shanghai at the moment. I only get it once I arrive in Canada on Dec 13. What’s super cool about this iPod is that I can keep photos (which I … [Read more…]
There is a dog, split in two, stretched across one lane. I answer the door in my pajamas at 7 A.M. to a man wanting to know why I needed to see his son. The bank teller still asks me how my film is coming. I eat 4 meals. My 2 o’clock appointment with Oscar … [Read more…]
Got this from Nate Knows Nada. 360 U.S. presidential speeches from 1776-2006 got put through a tag generator and so you can visually see how often words were used based on the size of the word. It’s remarkable to see the shift in focus between eras and presidents – notably words like: CONSTITUTION, HOSTILITY, INDIANS, … [Read more…]
Today, I was able to see with God’s eyes things that only He could see a hundred years ago. This is my child who will be born in April of next year. We drove into Cobán and had an ultrasound done. I filmed almost the entire appointment where we saw the baby wave his/her arms, … [Read more…]

As I am loading luggage into the vans at the airport, something dislodges my cellphone and it’s case from my belt. I notice once we arrive at the place where we spend the night that they are missing. I look for it in the vans. Les calls it so we can perhaps track it down … [Read more…]
Battery died in the car yesterday, lights were left on. Amber got some jumper cables and those didn’t work – I think they were too thin, but I didn’t know that this morning. This morning, the mechanic, Oscar, made a house call on foot with his plastic grocery bag of wrenches. He checked the timing … [Read more…]
For all the Homestarrunner fans out there, I found interviews with the makers of the hit Flash Cartoon site on the Cold Hard Flash blog. Part 1 with Mike and Part 3 with Matt. They are a monument to independent productions.
Carl tells me about this new-fangled DVD burner that burns images onto the top of DVD+Rs. I decid this would be a good investment for Zaakistan Productions. I go to go buy one of these burners for my Mac in Moncton, NB and there are none, so I have Carl ship one to me in … [Read more…]
A book for the ministry has been commissioned so they can use it for promotion in Canada this fall. We discussed what photos to use and came up with a list of 25 specific shots we need. I get to take those photos. So, I’ve been cruising around the countryside – when I get a … [Read more…]
