As those of you know, I do a lot of work off of public hotspots. As a freelancer it’s great to get away from the office and work someplace where there is a little public “noise’ going on. It’s also nice to get some fresh air and some sun in the process while changing things up a little bit. Here’s my latest video I made from the Apple Store, a public WiFi hotspot with some tips and tricks I explain in this...

This was my first attempt at using the iMovie Movie Trailer tool in iMovie 11. I’ve read a lot of reviews and most user reviews consider it fairly easy and fun to use. I’ve also read a few tech reviews that say you should plan on spending hours sifting through video clips to put together a 1 minute movie trailer. Mine took maybe 20 minutes….

Last night NYC was under a Tornado Watch. I’ve lived here all my life and can’t remember ever being under a Tornado watch. I did get some night shots of the Lightning all around me and put together about 60 seconds into a quick...

For those of you who follow me you probably figured out that I hang out at the library a few times a month. The NYPL is by far the best library system I’ve ever used. It’s also the best deal in NYC as you have access to free wifi, the North and South Halls provide plenty of room to sit down and work or you can roam the halls and view the various exhibits on display.
