My video setup: Canon HG10 with 35mm adapter
I’ve had a penchant for filmmaking ever since I was a little kid. I’ve never had the right equipment, though. I’m trying to finally change that, while still trying to stay within budget. The photo above shows the setup I’ve been piecing together over the last few weeks. I haven’t shot anything with it yet, but I’ll give it a good run in a couple weeks when I film the Colosseo letterpress poster being printed… Read the rest here

Onward
It’s so easy to wallow in self-pity when things don’t go right. As much as 2009 sucked on all levels, it wasn’t all bad. As much as I want to sulk, the fact remains that I live a charmed life. Through some karmic luck of the draw, I’ve got a lot to be thankful for. Personal Projects This past year was a year of simplication and basically had me letting go of all my personal projects—at least for the time being. … Read the rest here

Correcting Corrupted Characters
At some point, for some reason I cannot quite fathom, a WordPress or PHP or mySQL or some other upgrade took all of my WordPress database’s UTF-8 and translated it to (I believe) ISO-8859-1 and then dumped the result back right back into the database. So “Emil Bj
To Sweet Hereafter
Jason Santa Maria Go to the source
by Jim Coudal A rumor borne of children talking, what befell All Hallows’ walking Whispers of “this boy I knew” who on a cold damp sidewalk laid. Which house on which dark moonlit street, gifted him his final “Treat?” A Taffy Apple sealed his fate, a “Trick” malevolently played, by deftly hidden razor blade. What evil felled him lurks anew. Perhaps hid deep in Charleston Chew? Does M & M stand for good? … Read the rest here

Though it will come as no surprise to those that know me, those of you that do not know me should know that I consider myself to be something of a nerd. by Rob Giampietro And so here I am, writing a piece about Halloween candy, and the obvious conclusion to draw is that I’ll be dedicating this space to the tart, two-flavored Wonka treat that goes by that description. Would you be wrong? Yes. While Nerds are delicious (and, I have it on good authority, nutritious), they are also, unfortunately, reminiscent of kitty litter, and, when dropped, as I did accidentally one Halloween in 4th grade, they form an motley constellation of unappetizing neon nuggets all across the kitchen floor. No, there will be no crying over spilt Nerds here. … Read the rest here
Generation Y-pay
After trying to convince us that we’re funding terrorism , equating us to petty thieves and calling us cheapskates , the UK film and TV industry have decided to take a more positive response . I’m surprised it’s taken them so long to realise people see the weakness in their arguments and that their actions may actually be having the reverse affect . While the UK film and TV industry tries to convince us that every download equates to a lost sale, simple logic shows this not to be the case. People who download music and movies still buy CDs, they still rent DVD s and they still go to the cinema. Sometimes even more so. Downloading is just another content channel and one that is used for sampling new artists or consuming media that we probably wouldn’t have paid for anyway… Read the rest here
Recent job listings, testimonials, and 100th Kiva loan
If there’s one thing I enjoy most about running Authentic Jobs , it’s hearing positive feedback from customers. Not every employer finds the right candidate, mind you — that’s why the money-back guarantee in place. But many do. Here are a few recent testimonials. … Read the rest here

Talking Type and Design at South by Southwest
Talk of South by Southwest seems to come around quicker each year. I’m already looking forward to heading back to Austin, not least of all because I may get the chance to be on a couple of great panels (please cast a thumbs up if you like the sound of the panels). First up is Is Your Website Heading for a Car-Wreck? with Alan Colville , Jon Tan and Giles Colborne . … Read the rest here
Updates
While it’s been a fairly quiet summer around these parts, that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ve been slacking off. Let’s run down the list. New Chalkwork Icons & Search Back in June while sitting around recovering from some minor surgery, I spent a weekend producing a new free icon set for payments and ecommerce called, naturally, Chalkwork Payments . It highlighted a fairly obvious deficiency in the collection, so immediately after I set to work on a much larger commerce set. Creatively named Chalkwork Commerce of course. Due to the growing size of the overall icon family (2500+ now), I decided a better way to find a specific icon was in order. … Read the rest here
