Here's some good news.

Today I officially started full time at VMS. I'm working 9:30 to 6pm. By the time everyone (sales/production) gets their shit together I'll be leaving around 6:30 if not later. On Friday I was hired by Pro Player Stadium, home of the Florida Marlins, and Miami Dolphins. My official title is Scoreboard Tech/Operations. Basically I'll be cross trained to work in a few different positions. I'll primarily work the Main and auxiliary Scoreboard. I will be responsible for posting player stats and promos for the stadium. My secondary position will be replay operator. I have two video feeds to work from, each having a different angle of the game. The stadium is going digital with their editing. When an exciting play happens, I edit the play together and send it out to the scoreboard. Lastly I'll be a back up cameraman. I'm really excited, they pay well, and I get to watch games. Best of all its a night and weekend gig, so it fits nicely into my schedule.
Best,
Dan
BTW I still haven't posted my movie/product reviews. I promise tomorrow I'll post my reviews of Bend it Like Beckham, Lost in Translation, and a wireless music adapter that is a must for MP3 player owners.

Hope nobody saw me.

For me the best part of the Oscars was the death tribute piece. You know the part were they display all the people in entertainment who died over the last year. The best part was when Leni Riefenstahl came up on the screen. The crowd was clapping for the person just before her. When Leni came up, I think it took awhile for them to realize who she was. The applause quickly faded, and then abruptly started again once the next person was presented. Those Hollywood liberals ;>, must of been like "oh shit I'm clapping for a Nazi, let me stop. I hope nobody saw me." Here is a quick little article about Leni.
Just last week a saw a documentary about Riefenstahl on either History channel or Discovery. Between what I've learned in school and what I've seen on TV, can't nobody convince me she didn't know what was going on. For Pete's sake, she help design her "future film studio" that was to be located in Germania,(present day Berlin) the "future capital of the world."
