Also known as, “What I Did Last Saturday Night.”

Last week director Dave Campfield (we worked together on the award winning feature film “Under Surveillance“) called me and asked if I would help him shoot a short spoof video for a project he is working on. Here is the result:

If you want to know more about how I lit this, check out the article I posted on my indie film blog.

“Everywhere is not like here and everyone is not like these people. Whether that brings comfort or distress depends on where you are and who you are with.”

That thought occurred to me today and I liked the way it sounds, so I thought I would share it.

I’m not sure if it is original. I may have read it somewhere before. It has a lot of the same appeal as the blessing/curse, “May you live in interesting times.”

“What happened?” “I don’t like it!” “You’re a brave man!” “Let’s pin him down and shave his eyebrows too!”
These were just a few of the comments I got when I suddenly showed up one day with a bald head.

Much as some people would like to disagree, I have not gone crazy. I’ve been curious, for a long time, to know what I would look like bald. I’ve had generic ’short back and sides’ hair, I’ve had flat tops, I’ve had long hair and pony tails. I’d never been bald - until now!

While reading an article about the growing list of security vulnerabilities on Macs, I was suddenly struck by the similarities between digital connections and personal relationships. Now that Macs are becoming more prevalent, more people are looking for ways to exploit them with viruses and other computer hacks. In other words, now that the Mac has come out of its shell and become more sociable, it’s at a greater risk of being hurt!

Recently I was digging through some old papers and found this funny little joke that a friend emailed me back in early 2001. I meant to put it up on one of my production websites, but it got lost in the shuffle. Now it has a home.
