Want to know what I think about these days? Read this article about Pixel Corps.
I'm continually adding to my skill set for the web design business, writing a tiny bit, (Ed Teja is pushing me to get some actual writing done! - we're collaborating on a new book for adventure job seekers), and looking forward to learning about video production and editing with the new super-duper computer I'm giving myself for Christmas.
This article talks about a "Content Creators' Guild" (*Wow*) where someone like me can go to learn precisely the skills I need to keep up with the video production and editing game. It's an extraordinary job, to be sure, though it doesn't necessarily involve travel. And for those who don't know my full history, it actually draws on a skill set I began to build in University. Yes, I spent 3 years majoring in applied music with a minor in Radio, Television and Film, followed by 3 years as an "Arts and Entertainment Media Management" student. While I had a great time with the singing and classical guitar, what I really was doing was learning to be a Sound Engineer. I worked in Chicago for the 3 years I was at school there as a sound and lighting technician and stage manager.
SO, as I move back to my techie roots, I have to learn the new ways of doing things, (I did my studies in the early 80's - personal PC's were still operating with DOS.) Live performances were never my thing... I always aimed at studio work, and today, the studio can be wherever I plug my computer in. Very cool, I say!
