Hurricane Update
This post is mostly for current clients.
Hello Everyone – hope this finds you all well. I am happy to report no damage to my home or studio. I have gotten a few calls from some of you checking up on me and to make sure everything didn’t get blown away! Thank goodness, all was well and no precious memories (or tapes) were lost. Of course it was a big inconvenience to us all. I ended up in Dallas for about 10 days. I recently got power and started to put my studio back together as I had unplugged numerous devices, cables, wires, plugs, hard drives and safeguarded video tapes. I was glad I did as it could have been worse. Unfortunately the biggest inconvenience for me was that this put me a little over two weeks behind. So anyone who was expecting any videos, tape transfers or copies soon, just bare with me a little longer.
Also, if there is anybody that hasn’t gotten their Musical Selections CDs for their videos for weddings prior to this Summer, then they should be received shortly.
Any of my current or past clients that were unfortunate to sustain any major damages to their property and need any supporting video footage or photos for a claim, please contact me and I would be happy to help document the damage for you. Tomorrow will be a better day.
Yet another sign…
…that HD-DVD is on it’s way out. In case you haven’t heard, Blu-ray has basically won the war on the standard Hi-Def disc several months ago. All you who are looking to upgrade your home entertainment system should stay clear of HD-DVD and invest in Blu-ray technology. (Playstation 3 has a built in Blu-ray player) You should be able to play your current DVD collection on either an HD-DVD or Blu-ray player. If you currently own an HD-DVD player then look on the bright-side, at least Fry’s is having a “blowout” on some cool titles.
Extreme Makeover
Back in July while you were probably grilling some chicken and lighting firecrackers for the 4th, I rolled up my sleeves and took up a remodeling project at the studio. As you can see, it was a great space, but I guess the creative side got a hold of me and I was ready for a change or as Beyonce might say, “let me upgrade u”. Come see me sometime!
