My First Blog Entry!


Hi,

I’ve spent the past few years writing for various publications. Magazines are interesting, but the production timelines make them impossible to be current and relevant. Books, obviously, are much worse.

Writing a column for a large e-zine (http://www.policeone.com/ , go there and get their newsletter, it’s very, very good), one might think resolves the immediacy issue, but even they can lag.

And, they have sponsors and vendors and lawyers to answer to. Plus, they don’t really appreciate when I drift off-topic.

Enter Blogger and blogging.

I can say pretty much whatever I want, whenever I want. I like that. And, no editor telling me that I am overdue on an article.

I hope that this will curb my occasional need to write, although it won’t make me anywhere near the amount of money writing for actual publishers does (or is it do?)


And, it gives people a more immediate way to hear about what I have going on…..

I am currently:

• Spinning up a video production project. Got some GOOD stuff in the pipeline soon as I can learn Premiere, Illustrator, and get a piggyback HDD for the new laptop (Thanks, Tanyia!);


• Working on a campaign for Sheriff;

• Still writing for PoliceOne. Soon as they publish part four of the rad article, I’ll release part one of two on biological awareness;

• Doing a render farm install for an Accident Reconstructionist;

• And, four pages of stuff on my honey-do list (where DID that go, anyway???)

Many things to say, not much time tonight to say them. I will try to be a little consistent with this, but don’t expect any major miracles.
