Corporate video

This afternoon I'll be lecturing on corporate video and documentary film. Lots of examples on YouTube. Great to have these examples easily accessible. Better than the days of carrying a lot of videotape around.

Health matters

I've seen a chinese chiropractic acupuncturist for treatment for a few weeks. Have a minor, chronic right hip problem that requires adjustment every three or four months. The acupuncture is helping rebalance and smooth the chi, whatever that is. (Not an endorsement.)
