First Dentist Appointments
I know we’re late to the party on this one. Our kids have not been brushing daily and even though they’re 4 and 6 years old they’ve never had a checkup. We always planned on it but never got around to it. It was always just one more thing out of reach of our schedules. […]
The Langham Hotel – On Site Editing
The Langham Hotel (330 North Wabash Avenue , Chicago, IL) was my home for a 24 hour period recently. I was on-site to edit 36 short videos in about 12 hours time, and to deliver them all by 7am the next morning. While, on paper, it was a pretty easy job – it turned out to […]
Expanded Storage on MacBook Pro
The only downside to the Apple Laptops is that these days expanding the storage beyond what is already inside can be impossible or prohibitively expensive. But not anymore. With my simple and effective solution, you too can add several more terabytes of storage. This is my recent 2-TB upgrade. All you need is a roll […]
More “Chicken Pops”
Well 2014 is starting with a bang! Just when we thought all 3 kids were out of the woods, Sydney came down with the Chicken Pops (that’s what the kids are calling it and I laugh every time). And she has it way worse than Andrew did. But all things considered she’s handling it pretty […]

Christmas Morning, 2013
It’s still amazing to me how different Christmas is when you have kids. In your own way, you become a kid again through their eyes. It’s great to see how excited they are, and this year more than any year in the past they were all counting the days down until Santa would arrive. This […]
Oh Christmas Tree – The Lighting Of The Tomchak Tree
More than any year in the past, the kids were really into getting the Christmas decorations out and up. Andrew asked me on more than one occasion when we were putting lights on the house (the real answer is maybe never, but I told him not this year). Also the kids has the great treat […]
Editing at Macy’s in Chicago Today
Today I’m working with a group of friends (it’s always great working with a crew you know – and this one is the A-Team) on a B-Roll package for Macy’s National Believe Day. It’s always fun coming to the city now and then, even with the traffic getting here. It’s pretty nice being in the […]
