All television starts with a camera. In 2012, it’s impossible to buy a new camera that doesn’t produce good images, from tiny 1/4″ sensors up to 35mm size and beyond. So what to choose?
For me, it has to have a large sensor. Large sensor video cameras just produce nicer images (particularly if you know how to focus!).
Back when I wrote for print magazines, one of the greatest challenges was writing an article to fit the constrained space. Writing the article was never the problem; whittling it down to the allotted word count took more time than the writing. Cutting away a little at a time to the absolute minimum that will convey the content.
Much like the constraint of a Haiku focuses on both simplicity and structure, the production choices I’ve had to make for Solar Odyssey are the paring down to absolute simplicity. Oh, and invent some new technology along the way!
Color me pleasantly surprised: http://t.co/ymWJMR2s hits $70 million in revenue http://t.co/GD9HQNir Awesome result, congrats Lynda & Bruce.
Just goes to show that delivering a product people want at a price they’re prepared to pay, is always good business.

All Hail the Robotic Farmers and Pilots of the Future http://t.co/dlOM5NXM
A very interesting article on the increasing computer algorithm use to make landings and take-offs safer:
Fighter pilot Mary “Missy†Cummings saw it coming while landing her F/A-18 supersonic jet on a Navy aircraft carrier — the world-changing disruption barreling toward the present.
Instead of landing the multi-million-dollar machine on the small deck of the ship herself in the 1990s, a computer accomplished the tricky feat for her.
News site Technorati covered our challenge today with the article Will the Solar Odyssey Sail into a World Record?
In order to qualify for the world’s record, the boat will travel during the day only on electricity that is exclusively generated by solar power. No plugging-in allowed on this adventure! If all goes well, it will be the first time this has ever been done and the crew hopes to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the first solar-powered vessel to complete the Great Loop.
After way too long, I needed to go to a dentist and followed a recommendation from a friend to go to Garo Adomian, D.D.S. on Alameda Ave in Burbank. The three lessons in marketing we can all be reminded of are: respect, communication and delight!
Jimmy Wales to Hollywood: You’re Doomed (And Not Because of Piracy) http://t.co/HjtRsVrW
Now anyone who predicts the imminent doom of “Hollywood” is probably going to be wrong, but that doesn’t mean the long term trend isn’t in that direction.
