All things me.

Also, knowing that the computer is doing a bunch of work that I would otherwise be forced to do manually is so satisfying.

I feel like such a 1337 h4x0r when the stars align and all my workflows, Compressor droplets and various other things works in such a way that I’m able to do a task in mere seconds that I know my colleagues would spend multiple minuts doing.

I tend to get so frustrated when these kinds of topics comes up on atp and similar podcasts. There’s a whole world of pro audio and video with people who desperately wants a Mac that they can stick PCI cards an similar things in, and companies willing to make and sell those cards. That world has been trying to get by using worthless and expensive piece-of shit Thunderbolt-PCIe enclosures, or changing there stuff to use Thunderbolt instead of PCI for the past couple of years.

Take a look at BlackMagic Design, or Aja, or Avid for instance.

Not only is it still in use, it remains the best way to handle licenses in the kind of production environment where these computers power will be put to use.

Finished my rewatch of the first season of Westworld tonight and loved it just as much as the first time. With hindsight, so many of the twists and turns are so clearly layed our before the view.

Tomorrow it’s on to season two!

Loved this one, as I’ve done with every other of Gillian Flynn’s books. She’s probably my current favorite writer.

Mulholland Drive movie poster

🎞 Earlier this week I watched Mulholland Drive and now I can’t stop thinking about it. What was it that I saw? What did it mean? And why was I so moved by it?

I’m planning to watch it again soon. Also, I read this great analysis of the movie by Film Crit Hulk Smash.
