Well, It’s official. I’m getting a Mac Pro. Apple has just announced new Mac Pros. These start with a quad core entry level machine and then go up with 8-core goodness. The 8-core machines now start at 2.8ghz and quite a bit cheaper than the previous 3.0ghz machine. They also have a 3.0 ghz machine [...]

Hello bay area filmmakers! Not sure who is going to Sundance this year, but for those of you who are, I’m going to be hosting a filmmaker’s Lounge as well as a daily filmmaker’s Panel discussion. The Panels will be recorded and posted up on the internet. I will also be posting video podcasts up [...]

January appears to be a busy month here at Bay Area Filmmakers. There happens to be a LARGE film festival going on this month and we’ll be there attending and producing Bay Area Filmmakers content for the site. There will be details coming, so I’m just giving you a notice. Also, if any of you [...]

The full saga can be found in this post. But I thought I would update the world on my continuing RAID tribulations. I call up Addonics, the maker of my eSATA card and they go through all of the things I’m looking for and I’m set to purchase an enclosure from them. They have a [...]

When Thomas asked me to join him on this adventure in podcasting, to be frank I was a bit surprised, as putting out a regular podcast was not something I was considering. Not saying that I hadn’t thought about it, but with everything I have going on, I just didn’t think I could keep it [...]

So, I’ve been having a hell of a time with my RAID set-ups. Almost to the point, where I’m ready to lay down some serious cash for a pre-built system. But alas, I’m a techie and I have to do it myself. So it all started back a while ago, when I upgraded my 4 [...]

Seriously. If you edit on a mac, you NEED the Apple Mighty Mouse. It’s $69 for the wireless bluetooth version or $49 for the wired version. This thing is sweet. The scroll wheel is actually a ball. And you set it so that when you scroll left and right with it, it moves the timeline [...]
