Tom In San Diego This Weekend
A last minute job came up last week that takes me to San Diego CA Friday through Monday. I’ll be there to shoot some sessions of a seminar and then bring the footage back to edited down and repurposed for the clients website. I’ll be working all day Saturday and Sunday, and flying home Monday […]

I’m A Bigger Nerd Than Before, and Proud Of It
This week was probably some of the hardest learning I’ve done in many years. I’ve been in my own career for over 20 years now so challenges, while they do come up, are spread out over time. This week was not the case. I felt very odd being back at that square one place of […]

This book was recommended to me by my good friend Craig who has a daughter that’s around 4 years old. Thanks Craig!

Just like the prisons have a program to reintroduce reformed convicts into society, we have come up with our own version of a transition program for Brenda. Starting this November Brenda is returning to the work force as a freelance editor. But after 3+ years of not working outside of the house, she was feeling […]
