Disunity, Part 2 – Mission Accomplished

I’ve mentioned here on my blog how the last couple of months has seen my free-time being more and more consumed with completing work on the “Disunity, Part 2” episode and consequently, having the time to write and post new entries here has suffered. Fortunately, that situation has now been rectified with the release of “Disunity, Part 2” on Christmas Day and with the episode now out for public consumption, I think you can understand why I prioritized work on the episode at the expense of keeping this blog up to date.

Granted, it was never my intention to put writing for my blog on hold in favour of completing post-production work on this episode. But unfortunately, production on this episode simply took far longer than it should have Click to continue reading the rest of this entry

This Picture Says It All

One topic that has been a personal fly in the ointment is this on-going debate in Canada and the US about bailing out North American car manufacturers GM, Ford and Chrysler. The picture shown below nails the situation perfectly. Too bad more taxpayers aren’t paying attention to this.

So while I still plan to voice my opinion on this whole use of public funds to bail out private corporations at a later date, I’ll let this wonderful work do the talking for now. After all, pictures are worth a thousand words – well, maybe now eight hundred given the current economic climate.

If anyone knows who the creator of this wonderful image is, please do post a note in the comment section here. The artist does deserve recognition for this brilliant effort.

Majel Barrett Roddenberry – A Truly Classy Lady Has Moved On

In my inbox this evening, I got an email stating that Majel Barrett Roddenberry, best known for her roles on Star Trek as “Nurse Chapel”, “Lwaxana Troi” and even the voice of the Enterprise computer, if not also as the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, had passed away.  Naturally, my first reaction was of sadness upon hearing the news. But it also reminded me of my memories of meeting her and of something that came out of that encounter. It’s a wonderful memory and upon hearing news like this, I can’t think of a better time to share it. Click to continue reading the rest of this entry

Down . . . but not out

As you may have noticed, I haven’t been keeping my blog here up to date with any new content for about a month now. The simple truth behind this is that outside of the usual trappings of work and life, my time and creativity has been consumed with completing work on “Disunity, Part 2″, an audio drama piece I co-wrote and directed which I’m now preoccupied with creating various musical scores for. This has had the unfortunate result of taking up my time and energy to the point where I have little left to use for putting to pen my thoughts as of late.

However, I wanted to post a note here to show that I haven’t forgotten about this blog of mine. And given how I expect to complete work on “Disunity, Part 2″ sometime this month, I am looking forward to getting back into posting on a regular basis here about the various topics and ideas that we were talking about . . . once again.
