I am a visual effects artist, compositing supervisor, podcaster, and blogger. I typically use this blog to write about my thoughts and opinions on technology, podcasts, and occasionally visual effects. My personal opinions are represented here, and I don’t speak for any past, present, future, or alternate-future-timeline employer.

Professional Work

Speaking of professional work, I have a BFA in Computer Animation and I have worked in the field of visual effects for film since 2005. Those details are available on my demo reel website. My strengths are in compositing, but I have experience as a lighter, and in stereoscopic imagery.

Unprofessional Work

Defocused Podcast

I am one half of the Defocused podcast with Dan Sturm. It is a very casual discussion. This podcast is part of The Incomparable podcast network, and I do make guest appearances elsewhere on the network.

Six Colors Contributor

Much of my Apple-focused writing can be found in posts at Six Colors. This link will take you to a feed of only my posts.

Unhelpful Suggestions

I did a technology podcast with my friend Mikah Sargent. The podcast is inactive.

Colophon

I wrote the static blogging engine that made the site in Python 2.7, then refactored that for Python 3. Every now and then I rip something out, or bolt something on. The code is available here, on GitHub. It is named after the concept of yak shaving. There are far better solutions if you’re looking to start your own blog.
