Media Soup

Ok, so I have not written in this blog for a while. However, I am not going to write one of those contrite posts.

Why? Because I am not contrite. You may have seen me on Facebook, or LinkedIn, Playing online Poker (play money only) or even on World of Warcraft (not you would have know my Level 19 Night Elf Hunter was actually me).

You might have even seen some of my posts on the blog from my book: finalcutproworkflows.com.

My point is that for the last couple of years, I have been bopping around the web, trying out what is trendy, getting what I can from it, until I get bored. Then, I move on to something else.

You know what, I am not contrite about that either. I think it makes me a serial web hobbyist, and I am ok with that.

Perhaps the whole idea of cultural allegiance – stay true to your favorite band, favorite team, favorite news site, favorite sitcom, favorite social network . . . is getting just as old as one-way linear broadcast media.

So, maybe you will see me here, or on the Internets, or in some new “place” that has not yet been invented. I’m sure you can find me if you are looking for me, and I am ok with that.

I wanted to give a shout to all of the people who have given positive feedback on the book since it’s been out. It’s great to hear from you all!

To those who are looking for the web chapters – some will be up soon, but still a little longer for the Final Cut Server stuff. We don’t know any more than you do on that . . .

Check it out:

The book has been officially available for almost a week, and i noticed that our sweet 34% discount on Amazon is over . . .

Of course, we have no control over this, but at 34% off, we could get the book cheaper from Amazon then the publisher will sell us extra copies direct.

Anyway, check Google products to find the best price:

(well, we are not so sure about that, but it is pretty humorous. . . . )

I had my first on-the-record interview last week with the GW Hatchet.

The article is called Professors get Facebook profiles to enhance classes.

Which is not particularly accurate to what I said in the interview, but whatever, it was fun.

With help from Shawn Rider, we have implemented some improvements to the Final Cut Pro Workflows site, created to support out book of the same name coming out next month.

I took this photo in Pennsylvania while  Muffie and I were laying out the book.

The book has been sent to the printer!
