All yesterday (about 14 hours) I was PA on set of for the trailer of the new movie Before 12. Just installed the XDCAM EX browser, and the very first clip I open, I nearly fall on the floor laughing. Lets see if you can spot it...

Thanks dad!

Ok, so.. maybe I'm crazy but... ever since my initial foray into Micro-controllers, so little emphasis is kept on the actual building when it comes to "moving" bots.

One full month now of unemployment after nearly a decade. And how's it going? Well...
