The Truth About HTML5

There has been a lot of hype around HTML5 in recent months. I have heard individuals singing the praises of it without really knowing what it is. First HTML5 is not the end all for Flash and Javascript. Both mediums still have their appropriate uses and will continue to live on. Second HTML5 still a little "half-baked". There is not a single browser that supports all of the new features in HTML5. It isn't expected to be completed until 2014. Third HTML5 is not an all new programming langu... read more!

Can Optical Media Survive?

Could the Blu-Ray disk be one of the shortest lived media formats of all time? How much longer will be be using CDs and DVDs? With the recent release of streaming media boxes like Apple TV, Boxee Box and Google TV I have been asking myself these questions.

Good Movies Aren’t Made in a Vacuum

When you start making movies, you tend to do every job required. You write, direct, shoot, edit and probably star in your first few projects. You feel a sense of pride that comes with the fact that since you couldn't find anyone to help you, the movie still got made. The bad news is that once you really get involved in this process, you'll need help. Not because you can't do it all (you probably can), but you can't do it all well. There are people out there with skills much better than yours in ... read more!
