If you’re creative you’ll love using Pinterest, if you’re not you’ll love using Pinterest because it will make you feel creative.
I’m sure you’ve heard of Pinterest by now if not just ask your web crawling nerd friends they’ll tell you all about it.
1 minute into using Penterest
1 minute into using Pinterest and seeing shots from [...]
I’m not talking about software I’m talking about real things you can plug in. I’m lucky, I have a wife that must love me a whole lot because she gave me an iPad for Christmas. I’ve been putting off getting any kind of tablet because I wanted an SD card slot and USB [...]
I found these lights at The Home Depot the other day. Hampton Bay White Under-Cabinet Linkable Fluorescent Lights (3-Pack) We actually used them in a shoot inside a van to add a little warmth to the shot. It also helped boost the glow from the dashboard.
Yes these fluorescent lights are a little on [...]
The band is Big Band Boom! Yeah I’m friends with a sound guy that has a big band. He had been begging me to come down and see his show. So I brought some cameras with me.
The live mix was done by Jeff Powell.
I had 7 cameras there that night with one [...]
I think I’m looking at a future tool for Detectives. No this isn’t something new and these hack videos have been around since 2010 but I know when I first saw this video guess what came to mind besides building MODS for game engines? Crime scenes. Yeah crime scenes.
With a little more [...]
Wacom just saved me a LOT of money… For $199 I’M IN! Now I don’t feel the need to buy an iPad or a tablet PC. I much prefer the feel of paper and pencil or pen when I’m sketching. I guess that’s just part of the old school I’m just not going [...]
Look I made a USB Stick! Big Deal right? Well let me explain. I’ve been thinking about this device for a while and while it might look like a simple USB stick it’s not. It’s really a panic switch.
I think about this panic switch every time I hear about something bad happening [...]
Lucky me! I got a chance to meet Mary Potts and see some of her photography at the Lake Street Art Fair. I have to say I love what she’s doing! It’s great when you look at her photos you’ll see the same person doing several things. It’s like she’s telling a story about [...]
Don’t know about you but as an artist I always wonder who draws the pictures on blackboards and signage at your favorite hang outs. Today at Starbucks it was Amanda and she was kind enough to let me set up my Kodak Zi8 and video her while she worked. So here’s a quick [...]
Some photos from one of the first sunny days Chicago has seen in a while. Surprised to still see the tulip flowers on this tree..
Here’s some photos of some plants in my neighborhood. I really enjoy the detail that comes out with Macro Photography. Didn’t have to buy a fancy Macro lens just [...]
Okay so it’s not new it’s so 2010 but it’s great! Mr.Doob web app for sketching is a very fast and easy tool to use for scribbling down some ideas. For me it’s great for organic objects, creatures, plants and landscapes.
No I don’t draw this fast but I’ll try to do more of it. Plus find a better camera angle.
Here’s the final image, well final for now…
Messing around with an idea for a pocket DVD-R. But who needs these anymore when you have jump drives.

About Me
I make stuff! That's what I tell people. I make videos, films, doodles, visual effects, photos, podcasts, okay I'll stop there, you see I make stuff. I live out side Chicago but grew up in Kansas City, MO. That's not on the Kansas side in case you were wondering... so I'm Midwest boy.
I even have a podcast about content creation in the Midwest called Midwest Media Now! Check it out if you want to be on it well you can click on just about any button on my site and get a hold of me some how. I enjoy talking about this stuff and working on it and I have some ideas about how the Midwest could stand out a little more in the content creation arena.
Check out my work and tell me what you think. That's the only way I can make better stuff.
