Three out of five of the camera dept are women, including a female DP. This is a first for me, and it's good to see.

The grips made me my own tent... I'll call it the Bat-Cave!

This is a rather precarious setup.

Well, the USB port on my Marshall monitor broke on while my gear was on the truck. I think I may try to replace it with a Lemo connector. This is why I need a real monitor.

Hello again, San Diego.

Is it weird that Tuesday is my Saturday?

I'm going to pick up my new Paralinx Arrow+ 1:2 today. Thanks for the great customer service, Dan!

Thanks, Eric Fletcher, for the Steadicam training today!

Is there some kind of sporting event going on today?

I have well over half of February booked. Now if people could only ask if I'm available on the days I'm not booked, I would have it made. I've had so many people ask me to shoot on the same dates!

Does anyone else have a mountain bike? I've been wanting to bike a part of the backbone trail, but I don't want to "127 hours" myself.

My Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 finally updated to Jelly Bean last night. It feels like a brand new tablet! Thanks, Google!

Do you ever feel like reading tweets is a lot like trying to decipher hieroglyphics?

Canon C300 on the rig, but the Arri 16mm will sadly only be used as a prop on this shoot.

I'm selling my GoPro HD Hero2 with a few accessories, including the Wi-Fi BacPac. Send me a message if you're interested.

So it is my feeling that the longer more I read about electronics, the more confused I get. Making a voltage regulator seems very simple, but I suck at math. Trying to find heat dissipation through resistors, and thus getting a resistor that can handle the load is confusing me.

This year, every Friday will be Friday the 13th!

This is how I write: Write 20 pages, then outline the plot. Whatever works, I guess.

Let's make movies!

It's been a long week, but I finally get a day off tomorrow.

Damn mall cops are pissed that we're shooting in this restaurant even though we have the restaurant's full permission.

I threw out my back today. I can't even stand up straight. I look like an old man.

Reality spec today. Commercial spec tomorrow.

I have two days of shooting ahead of me. I get to use the new camera one day, and the steadicam on both. This new year is starting off right.
