Post FC notes
So, I had a lot of fun at FC. My only regret is that I had planned to not spend my whole con doing staff stuff. What happened? I spent the whole con doing staff stuff. We were under staffed for people with good initiative, technical skills and problem solving. There were a few who helped out, and a few last minute additions - I want to ( Read more... )

Well, we talked to the boat shop, and they say that type of problem is easier to fix than you would think, so hopefully, they can fix the boat, and we don't need to try and come up with the money for the new one.

In other news, I am VERY busy getting ready for Further Confusion. I'm on staff, and will be running all the tech to do with video, ( Read more... )

So, the boat you can see my against in a few posts previously, is pretty much finished. The transom (The back section of the boat that supports the mount where the outboard motor is mounted to), has split, presumably from the concentrated weight of the outboard in the center now, rather than 2 motors split over the entire transom ( Read more... )

There is a book by a very good friend of mine selling on Amazon called "Swimming with Orca". They only have 5 left, so if you want one, go and grab it:

Here's some more stuff from my trip to the 'phins. This time it's a video drakkor and I made of a training session I did with the phins. The feeling of missing them is still very strong - I'm trying to figure out how I can go back and see them as soon as possible. Logistically, that's very hard -- But I'm pretty good at making very difficult logistical ( Read more... )

I know I promised more stuff from my Switzerland trip. I have done some work on it, and hopefully will have it ready to upload in the next few days. I'll post some pictures and some more video. I'm just trying to clean up the video a bit, since even though it was shot in 1080i HD, the light was low, so the image is noisy. I want to clean it up at ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back home. Had a fairly uneventful travel. I had a really awesome time with drakkor! I can't say thanks enough! I've got a bunch of photos and video, and I'll post here shortly. This time I have more video than photos, so mostly I'll post short video clips. What's people's preference? I'm thinking I'll just start using mpeg4. I've been using it ( Read more... )
