While we're finishing up Dosa Divas, we're still shopping around two smaller new projects. We wanted to let folks know with enough time and severance. Here's a spreadsheet with info on each person and I'm happy to provide any recommendations for any of them. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I think it applies to software as well. We build schemas, classes, etc to model the real world and to solve problems. It's helpful to ask "is this useful?" - sometimes the quest for completeness or correctness veers away from usefulness.

Some Tuesday morning thoughts 😁

My primary focus is still building my tech consulting business. But with #VIFF here in town, I’m hoping to connect with and learn from lots of folks in the next two weeks.

If you will be in town or you know someone I should talk to, I’d appreciate the connection!

In the last few years I’ve been reading books on screenwriting, directing, production, as well as a bunch of screenplays. We’ve been watching lots of older films, and discovering magic from over 100 years ago (Buster Keaton!).

I was playing around with NLE, and learning as much as I could about the technical aspects of moving pictures. Also you might be shocked to know that I performed improv way back then (I am actually shocked too).

Long ago in high school I was part of a tiny group of students who managed to get our school to buy a digital video camera. This is back when if a student had a cell phone it didn’t have a colour screen.

As I recall engines will have helpers and I think they call into the chosen graphics API, which has a way to query available modes (based on connected monitor, graphics card, etc)
