From the Majestic, I watched the Class of 2005 graduate in the Wang.
Denis Leary ‘79 received an Honorary Doctorate. For the record, the only way you can receive a doctorate from Emerson is to receive it honorarily, as Emerson does not have a PhD program. Honorary degrees only prove the secret truth about […]

Fade to Awesome

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

The EVVY Awards are finally over. I didn’t win. But what do you expect from these guys? The judging coordinators didn’t exactly get industry professionals for this category.
More importantly, the shows were fantastic! I laughed, I cried, I cued and rolled tapes. There was a mistake made by […]

Live from Studio B

Saturday, May 14th, 2005

While I may be an Afternoon Producer for The 24th Annual EVVY Awards, I am the Tape Operator Assistant during the Afternoon Show. I just have to make sure the Tape Operators are happy and rerack the loop graphic tapes every now and then.
Needless to say, I have free time during the Afternoon Show. […]

Come see my show!

Saturday, May 14th, 2005

I feel like an eight year old going door-to-door around the neighborhood asking people to come see my show, but The 24th Annual EVVY Awards consumed a significant amount of my and my friends’ creative efforts this past academic year. If you are free from 2-4 PM ET and/or 6-8:30 PM ET on Saturday, […]

But I just got […]

Mad at Photoshop in Tiger

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

I did an archive and install type upgrade of Mac OS X.4. This ****s up Photoshop and Adobe has no fix. So if you haven’t upgraded, do an “upgrade” upgrade, not an archive and install. My second most important app is now dead in the water and I cannot express how #$%^&*(![%$\@#$%^~%$#%^&*.
I […]

OS 10.4 Impressions

Sunday, May 1st, 2005

First, congrats to Apple for a great Mac OS X upgrade! So many great features are included. This is a definite “must have” upgrade. My only criticism is that many new features feel unrefined.
Spotlight
I love LaunchBar because it learns and it ships already smart. LaunchBar’s guessing engine and learning ability are […]
