Month: May 2009

And I think I’m getting sick.  Again.  So unimpressed with myself.

Star of the yet-to-be-released “Exploring Art with Eldon” Eldon Garnet opened his newest show tonight, “Dominion and Categories of Disappearance” at the Christopher Cutt’s Gallery (there until June 13th). 

He did photography this time, two different installations.  The first are giant photos of “iconic images that are lyrical yet threatening”, and “we are confronted with the hope of a future in the difficulty of the moment”.

The second installation is a collection of insects “which Garnet has meticulously collected and preserved for the last decade”.

There’s Eldon there, in black on the left.  There was no way I was asking him for another frame having not yet finished editing the million I have now.

Me: I’m sorry I haven’t finished our episode yet.
Him: Ya, I’m surprised about that.
Me: [cricket, cricket]

Dude, I am sorry.  It’s not personal…  I’m behind on everything.  I’m behind on Wend, 5 episodes, website ads and completing my pitch page, never mind I should be hustling up traffic.  I would like to point out, though, that this here blog has been updated daily for (dare I jinx it) 5 weeks now.  Toot toot.

Note: the above words in “quotes” are copied from the press release at the gallery.

I was north west today coming back downtown when the place above caught my eye.  

A little googling and turns out I found ‘the largest indoor flea market in Toronto’.  Long time fan of the flea market here; we’re going.  60,000 feet of stuff I don’t need.  Please let the clown on their website be there.

That’s my hard drive since the beginning, and last week it started disabling my keyboard when I plugged it in.  On the right is my new one as of Friday.

I think I have it all backwards… Ryan said never to render to your hard drive, only use it for storage, and the guy at the store said he’d never heard of anyone doing it my way, and with USB. 

So I edit and store the video files on my laptop’s internal hard drive, and just backup to the hard drive with Firewire???  

But then therefore what I don’t get is everyone wants one with the fastest RPMs and faster Firewire… I thought that was because when you’re editing on it you want it to go fast, but if it’s only for storage it would add on probably just seconds, so who cares?
