Brendan Corkery graduated from the University of Edinburgh last year. He’s an Irish mechanical engineer, who used his dissertation to explore a new idea for managing stock at bars and pubs. I met with him last week because our office has given him a £3000 grant to continue to develop his product.
His story is cool, so we made a movie.
There’s nothing like the hometown rag to get me feeling local again. I read the Anchorage Daily News nearly every day. The ADN is what brought my family to Alaska. My mom and dad moved up from Washington state in the 80s when my dad was offered a job at the paper.
The ADN is also a direct link to life on the ground in Alaska. The stories are about fisheries, aerial wolf-hunting, earthquakes, bear attacks and the occasional stranded community (this year, one village was cut off for several days after severe flooding). That’s life at home! continue reading »
I have just finished our first promo video using our new Flip HD camera. The film below was done entirely on the Flip, and subsequently edited in iMovie.
(Caveat: the animations of the LAUNCH.ed logo were professionally produced by Dunedin Arts. They did not use a Flip.)
I think the quality of the sound and video compares very well to more expensive cameras. Any thoughts?
Our friend Tom Hunt (aka Texas Tom) is a fabulously talented artist at the Edinburgh College of Art. Other cool facts about Tom: he nearly lost his ear while skiing, frequents the Warrender Park swimming pool, and publishes a weekly webcomic, Steeltoecaps, on misprintcomics.com.
Tom has been kind enough to provide me with this custom-built, all-purpose raven, which I hope to integrate into the blog shortly. Other cool facts about ravens: they have more than 30 vocalisations (including “heckling”), they like french fries, and they’ll peel the rubber off your windshield wipers. continue reading »
I’m in a first class coach hurtling toward Edinburgh at the end of a brief trip down south. There are big yellow fields on either side, and every now and again the coach shakes as another train rattles past.
I rarely take the chance to read whole books. On this five-day foray to England, I read two: The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. They were both immensely gratifying. continue reading »
