Sick of working here so I am going to my favourite beach at St Pol for a swim. Cool down a bit too.

Saw the film Malditos Bastardos from Tarantino this eve and I was not that impressed, Too slow a pace and underwhelming overall

Film making Mac users were interviewed, Jamin and Kiowa Winans of Double Edge Films. They were great to talk to and impressed me greatly with their approach to the movie industry. The Movie INK was well received at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and now is being show around the country in the USA.

It's been six months since premiering Ink at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and though we've been having a lot of successes, Ink has taken a path I never could have predicted. A lot of filmmakers have asked us about our strategy with the film and why we've made some of the decisions we have with the release of Ink. Here is a description of our experience and an explanation of why we're doing what we're doing.

To read more click on the picture to the left.

I am so looking forward to seeing the movie, it looks so exciting in the trailer. Not only are they from Colorado but they filmed INK there and used actors from the area too. Kiowa tells me that Colorado has so many different types of scenery just perfect for filming a movie, no problem in finding locations and even helps to keep the film in budget when you know the area and the people of the area.

GotoMeeting sponsors Mac 20 Questions

Jamin has had a camera in his hands since he was 10 years old, making feature length films as a teenager learning how to cut and splice video tape, he must be so pleased to be using Final Cut Pro now.

So you can see that he has quite a background in making movies. INK most certainly is not his first movie and he has other movies in the pipeline for the future. The exact details as a bit hush hush but I bet it will be scifi in its outlook, he seems likes that genre

Kiowa has a huge involvement in the making of the film INk and has been responsible for the Producers job and worked the sound for the film. They have a small sound studio in the house where they sometimes whip out the senheiser mic and record what they need and also to combine with foley sounds to further enhance the movie.

Karen Spering wrote the book called Painting for Photographers

Listen to the Podcast

What was so great about talking with Karen was that she is into so many things, like myself she can't stop herself being interested in a variety of interests. She has published a book called Painting for Photographers which is available now as an eBook and will be going into print very shortly. It is not her first book either, as karen has written a number of manuals for the Application Painter or PainterX. Karen also is an artist and amazingly like the same styles of art as myself too. Both of us really like the German expresionists, the surrealist and we both have an appreciation for the talent of Picasso.

You really must have a look at her paintings at her web site. She is conveying a dream world as art and with them being in black and white it reminds me of the work by Giger the artist that created the creature in the movie Alien. Karen is having an exhibition this month of her art work and if you live near enough you are invited to go and have a look.

Karen also writes screen plays for movies and has a script for a romantic comedy, where does she find the time to do all these things?

Snow Leopard after a couple of weeks of using it

Listen to the podcast

In this podcast I talk to three mac users after Snow Leopard had been out for a week or so. Two of them had upgraded and the other was still waiting for the disks to arrive. Thanks to Mark Dalton, and Alexander to talking about their experiences actually installing Snowy and to Stefaan Lesage for a general chat prior to his pending upgrade. Looking forward to meeting up with Stefaan later this week at Podcamp Barcelona.

I will have a busy week this week with interviews lined up with Mac users and also some indie film makers and the Podcamp next Saturday. I put out a video podcast yesterday featuring my friend the artist Frank Corfield for Artist 20 Questions.

I waffle on about my new toy , a Drobo which is sitting on my desk now keeping my data safe. I have put in a couple of 1TB drives and have another pair of 500GB Drives to put in also.

Mark has just bought a Drobo also and had put in 4 of 1TB drives. So he will have plenty of room for his video stuff with Final Cut Pro.

For my next trick I will be sitting on the sofa watching England beat Croatia to get qualified for the World Cup in South Africa

Just started the download of the iPhone 3.1 update - cool - will probably take ages seeing as the server will be getting hammered

I connected the Drobo with the firewire cable copying files across to it now of the main HD taking a while to do the job

Got an executioners hood free with the my Drobo - really. Not sure if it is really me though ?

Rachael giggled her way through the interview and you just can’t help but like her http://tinyurl.com/mkkyrd Mac20Q

Nice to have a day without installing applications on Snow Leopard. Good to have another Mac20Q Podcast done too !

I will be chronicling my Snowy exploits soon in http://mac20q.com Oh what fun I had for a couple of days, Yippee aye Aaaay

Editing @calmbanana Rachael interview for Mac 20 Questions Podcast 53 - now that I have Snow Leopard sorted out on both my Macs

Coming out the other side - What a day. I am finishing things of reinstalling on the iMAc and re doing the MacBook from scratch. I'm Snowied

nearly have iTunes filled back up with all my music apps and podcasts only another 1400 items

Blimey this is a long job to get my iMac back after the Snow Leopard install with all the app installs

Uploading the latest Writers 20 Questions Podcast. I talk to a writer called ChrisGraue. Are you a writer & would you like to be featured ?

I have the SuperDuper done & ready for Snowy - Feeling hesitant. What do you think? Should I nuke and pave the iMac with Snow Leopard?

Find out more about @KarenSperling and her book here http://ping.fm/BEMYw Painting for Photographers

Just finished interviewing Karen Sperling the author of the book 'Painting for Photographers' a Mac user & artist, writer & interesting

What has gone where in Snow Leopard article http://ping.fm/6Y4gP

Seems Snowy is only allowing me to have either Ethernet or Airport working at the one time. Before I had both running to switch seemlessly

with the SuperDuper I have 97 GB done of 367GB - quite a way to go yet it seems.

I am doing the SuperDuper back up on the iMac ready for Snow Leopard. I think the scorched earth policy will be better but more time to do

But on the other hand I was able to find cheap hard Samsung drives 1TB from Pixmania.es 3 days to get here no messing. Purrfect

Mind you I am grumpy due to Misco messing me about over purchase of Hard drives. They will not let me buy off the English site with .es card

Not that pleased with the upgrade to Snowy. The Networking problem is annoying. it should just work.

went walking with my dog + the neighbours that follows as usual visited a friend & ended up back at home with 3 dogs. Have to return the 3rd

Upgrading 1Password on the MacBook there were 10 upgrades since last upgraded. This is maintenance release for Snow Leopard

Had some Airport networking problems with the Snow Leopard with MacBook upgrade. Solved in the Apple forum. So now I am connected
