Even adults have been doing it wrong too.
Sometimes small changes can yield big results!
This won’t be the only time I don’t know what I am blogging about.
Still though, this looked like something some of you would want to know about. Chip Roughton of Rough Pictures wrote in and hipped me to this deal. For what I can tell it looks like an opportunity to get a $500 studio level animation software set up for $10.00. My quick scan for reviews also makes it look like a good deal. So if enough people sign up, you can get Messiah 2.o for $10. [...]
I have linked to Steven Johnson before. I find how his observation that “chance favors the connected” all that I need to justify the energy I spend trying to unite our indie film community. I still haven’t read his book yet, but luckily I do have his lectures.

Happy Holidays. If you aren’t in the millions that have already heard of this, add WordLens to the list of must-have apps (InstaPaper still being my fave). No longer worry when they hand you the foreign language menu…

Never again will you face the risk of getting really sick and then, a few months in, having your insurer tell you “sorry, you’ve ‘run out’ of coverage.” Almost everyone I’ve met knows someone who had insurance but got really, really sick (or had a kid get really sick) and ran into a lifetime cap.

Encouraged, that is… 
This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.
Help save indie film and give this guy a job in web design or film!
