My day began at 6a and ended at just after 6p. Today i hacked together about six pages of “new” content, cooked up about 8 graphics, re-worked about 5 of them…. twice, and burned a fully charged battery “filming” an SOU tour guide. It was Steadicam practice. My arms are tired. I only glanced at the ingested video, but i have great hopes this video, when massaged and mixed with b-roll, etc., etc. will seriously kick ass. It will bring the “wow” i’ve been tasked to find.

Now it’s time to drink wine and listen to my just-downloaded hi-res Mark Knopfler tracks.
