  • Election Day Amusement

    First of all, I just want to say that I feel her pain! Thanks to my co-worker for passing this along and giving me a great laugh the other day! I’m so glad this election is almost over! I could almost handle the campaigning, commercials, etc., but what’s really been driving me absolutely NUTS is Read more

  • Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

    I took this picture as I left work on Thursday (4:48 PM on October 25 – gotta love the iPhone for providing that information!), knowing that it would be one of the last chances I had. I have to admit that for the past 7½ years, I’ve never really paid much attention to this building, Read more

  • Tweaking

    The first issue of Trinity This Week (Trinity’s weekly e-newsletter) goes out tomorrow, the first day of school. I spent a little time today tweaking the template. I finally got rid of that HORRIBLE orange color of the hyperlinks (I’ve always hated that color; while I was at it, I changed it for the whole Read more

  • Wordsmith

    Emotional + Collage = Emotiollage (e – mo’ – shə – lŏj) (I kinda like this new word of mine. ☺) Emotiollage This is my emotiollage…currently. It’s pretty full, and my feeling is that I’m sitting on the precipice. A turning point perhaps? A break-through? In what aspect? Monumental? Minimal? Only time will tell. I Read more

  • Books, Blame, Grief, & Guilt

    One month ago today, the Trinity School community was dealt a devastating blow, when Alicia Andreou, our Associate Head of School, lost her battle with cancer. The news came the day before I was to leave for Texas to visit the newest member of our family, and since the “official business” on my part (configuring/publishing Read more

  • Compressor

    I ran into a pretty big issue yesterday afternoon that I’ve never encountered. I went to compress/export a project for DVD in Compressor, something that I could probably do with my eyes closed. It’s a matter of a couple of clicks…maybe three. But I got this message: “Unable to submit to queue. Please restart your Read more

  • Apple Certified Associate

    I was pretty excited to receive this today! I’m officially an Apple Certified Associate in iWork! www.apple.com/certification/verify From Apple’s website, here are the benefits. The clock ticking down in the corner of the screen during the test, resulting in sweating and shaking, was all worth it! I scored 92.42%! Plus, my boss knew I was Read more

  • Human Production Studio

    My official title at Trinity is “Webmaster & Production Studio”, but I have gradually taken it upon myself to change it to “Webmaster & Video Producer” when I tell people, because I’m not really a place. ☺ So I found it pretty funny when a co-worker was in my office a couple of weeks ago, Read more

  • I Am Imagination

    I produced Trinity’s 2012 Spring Annual Fund Appreciation Video last week. This production is 2:58 in duration, while the song itself is about 3:54 in duration. My goal was to balance brevity with maintaining the effect of these bi-annual videos, so I edited it to include the “best” parts of the song (climactic areas, compelling Read more

  • Breathless & Speechless

    This has been quite a week. The curve balls life throws at us can leave us breathless and speechless, but so can these moments, and I am so incredibly grateful! Holding my nephew yesterday, there were moments when I could do nothing but stare in amazement. All of this is still so unbelievable…especially when I Read more
