Who is This ‘Joe’ Person?
I am a visual effects artist, compositing supervisor, podcaster, and blogger. I write mostly for my own entertainment about 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.
Unprofessional Work

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.
Unhelpful Suggestions
I also do a technology podcast with my friend Mikah Sargent. The podcast is inactive.
