A.I. Photo Editing
UPDATE: I continue to edit and sort these galleries months later, trying not to repeat looks and moving new favorites up front. I’ve been pushing the limits of the Google Gemini 2.5 “Nano Banana” artificial intelligence engine in Photoshop, with … Continue reading
Sim Racing in VR
When PlayStation VR2 launched, I dabbled in Horizon Call of the Mountain because it was a great showcase for the tech advancements since the original headset. Eye tracking, resolution, foveated rendering, yadda. But in the year since firing up Gran … Continue reading

Video production demo
I hadn’t needed a reel in two decades until being impacted by a 5,000-employee reduction. Most clips are from that job, favoring more recent productions. It speaks for itself since I often did everything but hold the mic—replaced here by … Continue reading
“Me & Whiskey” music video
I shot and edited this using one cinema camera and a GoPro in available light, for red-dirt country band Sons of Sterling. Over 100 Facebook users have reshared it.
A Year of Distance
Sleep is now a three-hour event. Twice per night on good ones, many aimless wee hours in between. Often, I don’t bother going back to bed. (cue Tyler Durden …) 372 days ago, I ate in an empty restaurant for … Continue reading

“Antidote” music video
With my Finding the Light album release this week, I figured I should preview a full track. And in the same spirit as the recording process, why not keep the video DIY, too?

Major Inversions audiobook
Remember my debut novel from back in 2009? Ever wanted to cut out the eyeball middlemen and have the author’s voice streaming between your ears handsfree?
Book Layout Tips
The rise of self-publishing means more authors are taking on unfamiliar roles, with mixed results. To put it kindly. I’ll leave the marketing/promotion advice to others, but one aspect I can speak to with some authority is design. I’ve designed … Continue reading
Telecine column at ManArchy
I’m contributing semi-regularly to a new column at ManArchy Magazine called Telecine. The term itself describes the process of transferring film to tape or disk. Of course, it also sounds like a cool amalgamation of “television” and “cinema,” which will … Continue reading
