What I'm looking at doing in the near future

Where have I been since the last post? I've been researching/possessing equipment for various research projects.

1. Research on video game purchasing decisions - If you're a friend of mine, get ready to be asked for your help. I am doing research for this years application into a PhD program. This batch of research looks good and is on track to propel my education.

2. Writing a short script - I'm also looking at some other schools that require a creative writing sample. Thus, I am creating a short script and putting the polishing touches on it.

3. Developing some low-cost telecines - What is a telecine? It's a really expensive machine that converts film to a digital media file. In the Spring of 2010, I'll be teaching traditional film production. The students will shooting on film, then be required to convert using one of my machines. Pretty cool stuff.

Then, there's a whole lot of other stuff that I'm into, but that will have to wait for a further post.

Starting a new year (in school)

It's the beginning of August and with that date, I begin to think about upcoming school year. The next semester for me equals two sections of PM II (an intermediate video production class), one section of audio production and one class of video game level design.

I'm excited for this next semester. Each class is coming along nicely. Right now, I'm trying to line up all my special guests.

In addition, my other projects are also beginning to line up. My short script is done and will be under review. I have a few other projects that are in the editing stage. There's another development project that I might be starting. (Not too much on this one, yet.)

On the homefront, I'm nearly done. I just need to complete some "tidy-ing" up. Then my home will be done with the projects I set out to do.

All in all, my life isn't that bad.

The house is coming along nicely

In the beginning of this project, I had some loose goals to meet.

1. Start to replace windows - Done, the front window has been replaced and the front room feels sooooooo nice
2. Replace front door - Done, it closes, seals and is really nice. I just need to paint the outside of it. Unfortunately it has rained a lot lately.
3. Tear out a bathroom - Done, and the room extremely empty
4. Replace the shell ceiling fans - Done, both fans now work and they give a soft, nice light

There are plenty of smaller projects and they are mostly done. All I have to do is basic clean-up.

WoooooooHoooooooo. I'm almost done.
