For those of you who may not know, I am a freelance videographer and editor. On Monday night I came across an error that almost ruined an entire project.
I was compositing a shot that ended up having a lot of effects and layers. Here’s a screencap: Read more
Starting with “I’m in Miami, Bitch” in 2008 all the way through recent hits “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I Know It” the electro-pop/dance/house music group LMFAO is one of the most recognizable on the planet. Their unique look includes thick-rimmed sunglasses, leopard print clothes, and hi-top sneakers have set fashion trends among those fully invested in their music.
But something clicked for me recently. Their look reminded me of someone from days gone by… Read more
Yes, I know. Officially speaking, NBC’s Community has not been cancelled. The show has been “benched” until March or April. But that doesn’t mean I can’t speak up for my favorite show.
NBC benching Community doesn’t exactly instill me with a sense of confidence that they’ll actually bring the show back in the spring. Mid-season previews on Monday didn’t include Community or Prime Suspect and it was reported that both would be back in the spring. However, on Wednesday NBC shut down production of Prime Suspect and officially cancelled the show. You can see why I’m understandably worried about the future of Community.

Official ratings reports have surfaced for UFC on FOX and the number is promising. Averaging 5.4 million viewers for the telecast, the 64-second main event drew a record-breaking 8.8 million. This makes Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos the highest-rated MMA bout in North American history.
I had heard rumblings that the “magic number” for FOX execs was 4 million viewers, so these numbers must make them very happy. Would a longer main event have drawn more of an audience? Honestly, I have no idea.
A hard-hitting, decisive victory in the first round sets a precedent for the exciting action that UFC can produce. As I said in my previous post on this subject, a main event lasting five rounds would have probably turned off most of the audience.But a match somewhere in between, perhaps a knockout in the end of the second or middle of the third round may have seen the audience increase as more people told their friends to tune in.
Speculation aside, the real test will be UFC on FOX 2. Does the second even draw a bigger viewing audience? Will it be the same format, with only one fight on the card? What weight class or fighters will be featured? These are the hooks that should draw the long-time UFC fan and newcomers to the next event.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship made its major network debut tonight on FOX. Junior Dos Santos defeated Cain Velasquez to win the UFC Undisputed Heavyweight Championship in the only fight aired on the network. Nine undercard fights were simulcast on Facebook and FoxSports.com. While even having a contract with FOX is a great advancement for UFC, I’m left to wonder whether or not this event will attract new and retain to the sport.
It’s no secret that UFC is the fastest-growing sports brand in the world. Its Pay-Per-View numbers have consistently beaten or matched both boxing and professional wrestling. Advocates of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, especially the way it is presented by the UFC, believe that it is the perfect combination of true athletic competition (like boxing) and the “big event” feel of pro wrestling PPVs. However, UFC on FOX will be judged not only by the Nielsen Ratings of tonight’s event but the ratings going forward.

New servers, new layout. As a wise man once said, “Enough is enough and it’s time for a change.”
I’d like to that Nate from for migrating all of my sites to one of his brand new servers.
As far as the site itself, I have a plan. I’ve said this before, but this seems like a more sound plan. Then again, I’ve sait that before as well. My plan is to make the site more entertainment-centric. I’ll still attempt to add new short stories or fiction to the site, but I’m going to put my college degree to “good” use by commenting on television and film.
New content will be coming as soon as I tweak the site a bit more.
