Videos of Note From 2014

I want to share a few of the videos I marked as favourites over the course of 2014. There are only a handful this year as I was a lot busier and didn’t find myself spending much time looking up VFX breakdowns or watching very many short film. 2014 was… Read the Rest…

Native American Heritage Month

For the last year I’ve been hoping that this year I would see and hear and read more about it before the end of the month. And, unfortunately, I haven’t. I’m shocked to find that my last-minute catch of a short mention of Native American Heritage Month last year wasn’t… Read the Rest…

What looks like a highway rest stop is actually the best homemade Mexican restaurant in the Triangle. La Vaquita, the funny looking building with the cow on the roof, may not… Read the Rest…

Free Time

It began when I asked myself why I haven’t finished any of the myriad little projects I’ve set for myself, like making paper or cleaning off my desk. The answer that immediately popped into my head is “I’m just too busy.” And that got me thinking and asking why. Why… Read the Rest…
