I am a Unicorn
Last night I attended a Seattle Entrepreneurs MeetUp group event, hosted at Davis Write Tremaine LLP. I was really impressed with the volume and quality of the attendees. The topic was “Startup Matchmaking; Finding a Co-Founder, Building Your Team, Joining a Startup”.

Spectral Synthesis – Introduction and Approaches
A couple weeks ago I made this quick video showing how to understand and use the spectrogram in a spectral synthesizer, demonstrated in Izotope Iris and Camel Audio Alchemy.

Last week I had the privilege of speaking on a panel at Bellevue College for the “Careers in IT: The Real Story” event. It was hosted by The Center of Excellence for Information and Computing Technology at the Carlson Theater at Bellevue College in Bellevue Washington.
How to Make Video Tutorials

Just who is making the dumb move here? Netflix, or Starz?
Last night I read on CNN Money that “Netflix stock plunges as Starz ends contract talks”. It struck me that this is exactly inverse to what I would expect! If I had stock in Starz, I would have pulled it.
