My old Prima 120

Earlier this year before all hell broke loose, I was looking at my work flow and realized that my ISDN unit had been standing idle for several months. The preferred live connection was trending toward Source-Connect and only one lone client was using ISDN – and that client? Not very often.

January 28th, 2020|Categories: Announcements, Business, Recent Work|

One of my favorite kinds of projects is training videos. A bunch of short pieces that help someone learn to use a piece of equipment. The challenge is to made each module stand on its own, but also be consistent with all the other videos in a series.

The work isn’t hard, but it has to be done very differently than most VO work.

For example…the announcement you hear is “Customer Assistance to Register 1.” And then you have the same announcement for all 26 registers […]

March 22nd, 2019|Categories: Advertising, Announcements, Business, Musings|

So, what were you doing during the great Facebook outage of March 2019? Did you have withdrawals? Think about the paying advertisers! They lost their access to their targets for more than 20 hours.

 

So, who should pay for the lost opportunities. Facebook says it was human error – a line of stray code perhaps. […]
