Still reeling a bit from finding out what I *won't* be doing in September. Now arises the question of what I *will* get up to. The portions of my brain that deal with content, story, meaning, aesthetics & change feel underused next to the portions that deal with making tech tools function as advertised.

Cried today seeing a lively documentary by Nancy Nicol 'bout queer marriage. Oughtta get my head checked.

Rcardo Acosta did a totally magnificent job of picture editing; made my little bits of camerawork at the beginning & end look so good it floored me. The man's a hero!

Wanna hire a technician? Seriously. Decent rates, decades of experience, familiarity with most gear for image collection & manipulation, endless patience and boundless energy, able to tolerate all kind of workplace peculiarities. Except, perhaps, the peculiarities of my current day job...
