All in on Final Cut
Way back in January, there was the exciting announcement of a new Creator Studio from Apple. I thought that Ai would play a large role, and had Siri Ai been rolled out properly, those kinds of features would have been included from the start of the new creative “suite”. Well, hello October/November, and… The way…

My Technology Roadmap. Shattered.
I do my best not to complicate my life. #NoDrama Technology does its best to definitely complicate my life. I fully realize it’s self-inflicted. Today’s Apple Event is just such an example. However, it’s not limited to just the most recent Apple Park dog and pony. It is also the decidedly first-world memory-hardrive-chip-manufacturing “crisis” that…

Dad. The Writer and Thinker
In honor of the anniversary of my mom and dad’s wedding, September 6th 1952, I have a good excuse to tell you a little about my dad. I, of course, keep a permanent link to a post about my mom in the About menu of this blog – How This Blog Got Its Name. I’ve…

The Drone Sagas
The sagas. They continue. The drone life, or lack thereof, is not just one saga, but many sagas. Prompted by my colleague, friend, and fellow blog journeyman, Gardner Campbell, I am providing an update to my post from back in January about My Last DJI Drone. Since then I’ve flown the DJI Neo 2 drone…

Apple Creator Studio – You’re Paying for the Ai
I think. I’ve never paid for Final Cut Pro. I’ve been fortunate that the universities I have worked for, University of Mary Washington and University of North Florida, paid the $300 for my licenses of FCP. The latest purchase was back on November of 2015 when I first started working for UNF. If you break…

My Last DJI Drone
Oh, I forgot the question mark – My Last DJI Drone? This will definitely be a “to be continued” post. I ordered a new drone on December 26, 2025 and I feel like this could potentially be an epic saga. First a short bit of backstory. The drone I ordered is the 5th drone I…
