...If a mechanic sells a car it is usually because he know what is wrong with it and it will cost more to fix than he is willing to spend. ...  If he has taken care of the car and done maintenance on it and fixes cars up to sell, than it could be good.  ...

...There are a lot more people to watch out for and people in car here are generally more stupid than most.  a lot of people here feel that they in fact can read the paper and eat a bowl of cereal on their way to work.  ...  I was hesitant at first, but did not take me long to feel like a sitting duck in traffic.  when you are on a motorcycle in CA it is less dangerous to keep moving.    So you can keep moving by riding up the middle of the traffic lanes. and this cuts down on time, which is great.


...I did forget about the sun for a min, and burnt the hell out of my arms.  at the time i was wearing gloves and i now have a really weird looking sun burn on my arms that starts at my wrists and goes up.

So here are my thoughts:  Keep the sweat shirt and phone charger, but keep them far away from my house.    For if i see you even close to my cars or on my property again i will assume you are there to kill me and my family and I&rsquo;LL BE DAMNED IF I DON&rsquo;T SHOOT YOU IN THE F*#$IN FACE AND DRAG YOUR STILL BLEEDING BODY IN TO MY FRONT ROOM AND TELL THE POLICE HOW YOU BROKE IN TO MY HOUSE AND THREATENED MY FAMILY&rsquo;S LIFE.  just kidding, I might miss your face.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>One year of Blogging&#x21;&#x21;&#x21;&#x21;</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-05-28T14:04:00-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/1d377e1ec1eaf5a0fe97182a9a03ad57-63.html#unique-entry-id-63</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/1d377e1ec1eaf5a0fe97182a9a03ad57-63.html#unique-entry-id-63</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[One year of blogging.  even though i have not been real consistent, i have blogged for one whole year.  last year i blogged eleven times in May to this years once. huh!

At present i am not sure what I intend to do with all of these video&rsquo;s but i knew that they had to be preserved.    I currently have almost 375 gigs of family digitized video, which amount to roughly 35+ hours of  running time and i am still not finished.  

...Oh and by the way, as i am unemployed right now, for a small fee i could be talked in to converting your old videos to DVD or put together a compilation with music and pictures.    Just thought i would throw that out there, the small fee is because it does take a fair amount of time and i am not new to the whole editing process and procedure and of course because i need money.

I have started to digitize all our old family movies.  while this might seem a simple task, as i thought it would be at first, i have come to discover that when you have 20+ tapes with 5+ hours of footage on each, it is a lot to wade through.(pss: don&rsquo;t ever use EP mode when recording.)    I would say that i am close to half way done and have digitized 250 gigs of home movies. (that is a lot for those of you who don&rsquo;t know.)  these all come from VHS tapes so they all have to be done manually, which means i have to watch all the segment and then capture it in real time to the computer.     Unlike the digital tapes and recording devices we have now where you can tell the computer to capture every thing from this point to that point and it will do it automatically.

...I had the car packed by 1:30 PM and got on the road.  i was not in a hurry as i would only traveling to Vegas.    It was a good thing too, as the car did not like hills with the weight of all that stuff packed to the celling.  but i have to give credit where credit is due, it was a trooper.  it may have been slow going up hills but it kept going.


I arrived in Vegas just in time for rush hour traffic, but i will take rush hour in vegas any day over traffic any time in LA.    I had a lovely dinner with my Aunt and Uncle before we returned to there home where they hospitably prepared a bed for me to crash in.

...So i told every one they would have to figure out a way to make it happen with out me for one Sunday, and if they couldn&rsquo;t feel free to fire me.  ...  For the rest of Nov. some times i would get a Sunday or Saturday that i thought i would have off only  to get a call at some point in the day that would land in in the office fixing something or making sure things got done.


...So far Christmas day was the only day since i started the show that i did not received a phone call or email about work. 


...I don&rsquo;t steer the ship or decide where it goes or how it gets there, my job is to keep it running and afloat so that the powers at be can run it aground time and time again.

I would have thought that something the would have had to been thought of while building the arch would have had quite an impact on how it was build. 

...This is one of the tram cars.  it is set up in the lobby for people to look at.  the tram ride started under the arch and went up and around to the top.  ...  As you probably know the arch is a curve, so as the tram went up for a while it would suddenly rotate back to vertical.  it was very interesting.

Don&rsquo;t give out other peoples full name.  if you have a link section just list there first or pen name but never give out their full name.  they are probably trying had to keep personal info from getting out so try not to thwart their efforts by divulging their name.


...Don&rsquo;t tell people where you work.  large or small company there are ways to find out where a company is located.  you can tell people you work in the plumbing industry or broadcast / movie industry or what type of job you do but telling people who you work for is not the best idea.


...I am not trying to scare any one i just want to let people know that as fun as the internet is it can  also be a dangerous place.  keep the internet in the internet and out of your real life.    you don&rsquo;t want to have the internet show up on you door step one day.  so stay aware just like in real life and be vigilant about how much specific info you give out.  if some one wants more info on something you have blogged about they can email you.

When you blog you are forced in to describe your experience or feelings into terms other people can understand. some one who has never been to Jamaica can read your blog and see how you experienced it.  i have found that things you think you will remember and don&rsquo;t write down in detail  don&rsquo;t make a lot of sense to you, or any one else, latter, case in point my younger journals. so you have to write in a way that will show others what you are talking about or feeling.


...Look at reality TV, if that is not blogging at it&rsquo;s hight i don&rsquo;t know what is. and with as popular as it is i am surprised more people don&rsquo;t blog about what happened on reality tv. or better yet a Reality tv show about blogging.


...as you can see i got over that.  i am careful not to put to much info out in to the great wide open, and if you think that you know me well just by reading my blog you will probably be suprised once you really get to know me. 

...I get emails from people asking me for more details about my posts.  to be honest i have probably had more interaction with people since i started my blog, then when i just called people.  besides i can reach more people with blogging, i.e. if i had to call every one who was going to read this blog and tell them everything that i am saying here i would probably have little time for any thing else.

It is quick, meticulously thought out and executed flawlessly. one sharply cold nose right to the face followed immediately by a paw to the head, and seemingly with moving a pounce on the chest. as you curl into a ball to recover what sleep you can, thinking you might get out of this one, the plastic toy bone comes from no where as it is drug down your back as the sleep assassin moves under the covers for a better attack angle. cold paws on the legs. nose to the butt. claw to the knee. tail to the face. ...

I have been Pro pc for a very long time, but now the the new tech of being able to have windows on your mac i hope to have the best of both worlds. there are some programs that i have to use on pc so i cant abandon pc totally but it will be nice to have a computer that i don't have to fix or repair before i can email or make a video. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Playhouse build</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2008-05-11T09:58:16-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/499033c3bbd60c928cae28840819eaf5-29.html#unique-entry-id-29</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/499033c3bbd60c928cae28840819eaf5-29.html#unique-entry-id-29</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[On Saturday, for Mothers day we gave mom a playhouse for the back yard. ...

I have no dought that i will probably have other problems in the future but for now this will do.  its funny that i had just switched to mac and now there are all kinds of problems. whoa, i am getting ahead of my self.  i should say that i still love my computer and i will not be willing to give that up any time soon, but i am very frustrated with the way apple handled, or didn&rsquo;t handle the massive switch over this last week.


...well it started out for a few days that i would get a publish error message after trying to publish.  then it move up to not being able to publish at all because it would tell me that i had to sign in to .mac  while i was signed into .mac.  it has been very frustrating and i am very upset as a new mac user to have this happen to me after having all of my friends tell me how great mac/apple have been.  ...  I think we would all be a little less upset if apple would let us know that they even acknowledge there is a problem and that they were doing something about it.  so far we have heard nothing.    I have been researching other hosting options and will probably not renew my .mac/mobilme account.  my wife has a trial .mac account and when hers expires we will find her an alternative as well.  if this problem is resolved we may stay but at this point i feel as though i have wasted my money and time on your services.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Frustration continues.    </title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-07-14T21:08:13-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/dbe694ecab0a44773ce6a6eaccbf066d-22.html#unique-entry-id-22</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/dbe694ecab0a44773ce6a6eaccbf066d-22.html#unique-entry-id-22</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[well it has been 4 days that apple has let me down on this site.  i am considering a move.  if that does happen  the link www.branitt.com will still be the same, it will just be some one else hosting.  with the colossal screw up apple had with the release of the 3g iphone, 2.0 update for the original iphone and the mobile me switch over all on the same day i guess they have not had time to fix the problems of the current paying customers.  as i have just recently switch to mac this does not bode well of winning my confidence as a company and platform i can stand behind and count on.    Or I could just be pissed off that my site isn&rsquo;t working right, we&rsquo;ll  see.  


on the flip side of all of that, i can tell you that i have been as equally pissed off at microsoft over the years flat out know no one was doing any thing to fix the problems.  at least with apple there is a chance that support will hear the crys of their customers and try and do something about it.  where as pleas to microsoft for help falls on deaf ears.


I would love for you to leave a comment about this but you can&rsquo;t, AND THAT IS WHY I&rsquo;M SO PISSED OFF!!]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>First real frustration.</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-07-12T21:07:02-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/b18e39e38722c83cfb7e43b35fd32e63-21.html#unique-entry-id-21</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/b18e39e38722c83cfb7e43b35fd32e63-21.html#unique-entry-id-21</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[so i have been a mac user for a month or so now and today i have had my first real frustration.  the funny thing is it is not at the computer itself but with the people who made it.  apple just switched from .mac accounts to &ldquo;mobile me&rdquo; accounts. these services are like web hosting and online storage and mail servers.  well they did the switch yesterday and now i can only partially publish my blog.  so if you can&rsquo;t leave comments this is why.  the computer however is working just fine.  i have to pay for this service by the way, and i find it very frustrating that it is not working.  once it is fully functional it will supposedly be much better than it was with better and more features and what not.  but if it does not work at all then i fail to see the point.  i know i should be patient but i am paying for this service and i did not ask for the upgrade/change over or what ever they are calling it.  so that is my rant for the day(if it posts).]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Moving</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-07-10T21:05:31-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/3a3b35e21156893a089857a8c53d1fb3-20.html#unique-entry-id-20</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/3a3b35e21156893a089857a8c53d1fb3-20.html#unique-entry-id-20</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[when we move, i have decided, that i am going to invite,wrangle and blackmail a whole bunch of people to help.  when they get there in the morning i am going to tell them they have a choice.  &ldquo;you can all help me move all day long, lifting all my heavy stuff in to a truck and then out of the truck or,,, you can all just give me $25 and i will call a moving crew right now.&rdquo;    I would be willing to bet that a phone call would be made.

It takes a certain type of personality to be able to go to a different place and work with people they don&rsquo;t know while doing something new every day. most people would quit a job that required them to work a 96 hour work week.  people who work in film vary as with any place but every one on a movie set has at one point said&rdquo; i knida like this job.&rdquo;  ...  Once they see the truth they and decide &ldquo;if its not glamours i&rsquo;m not doing it&rdquo; they get out and find a different job.  the true movie people that you meet are the ones that when you ask them &ldquo;how long have you been doing this?&rdquo;   their reply is &ldquo;too long, or long enough to know better.&rdquo;  most of these people want to get out of the business but it won&rsquo;t let them go.  you can leave the movie business but it never leaves you.  

...But i digress,  I love meeting great people in this business.  every now an then you meet people that you really connect with, share similar life stories or complete opposite life stories.  some times when you meet these people you want them dead, only later down the road they turn out to be your best friend.  the truth is when working on a movie you spend more time with the people you work with than you do with your family.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Question?</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-06-22T20:56:48-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/bacc80b02de02c7fe264f46a85785180-13.html#unique-entry-id-13</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/bacc80b02de02c7fe264f46a85785180-13.html#unique-entry-id-13</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Are you more or less likely to continue to blog if no one is reading or commenting on your blogs?

...Look through and pay bills-Making a nice stack of unopened envelops on the mantel that i hope i will not be able to see when they turn off my power.


Clean off my desk and make working in my office easyer.- Setting up new blog pages and typing this blog in hopes that some one some day will read it and think &ldquo;well his life was not that boring&rdquo;.


...By the way as a side note, she does the whole yard and make it look great. even though only god can kill the crab grass we have growing in the front corner of our yard, she still pulls it off. she mows, weeds, fertilize and waters.  the poop is my responsibility however and i should have cleaned it up.


Writing a script for the project i have planed-Surfing the net and calling it research, all the while thinking i should just be writing a script and start contacting people to let me shoot it. for two whole weeks this project was like a train on the fast track to completion.  it only took one person to derail it and i have not been putting in the effort i should to get it back on track.

I just hope that i will become as good with FC as i was with Premiere.  of corse i have several years of working with premiere and only 2 weeks working with FC.  only time will tell.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Mom&#x2019;s new computer</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-06-16T20:49:11-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/9c10ec79a561471d8060cabde7604a2f-9.html#unique-entry-id-9</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/9c10ec79a561471d8060cabde7604a2f-9.html#unique-entry-id-9</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Dad bought her a brand new Dell computer with 3 gigs of ram and a 3ghz dual processor.    It also has 500 gigs of hard drive space, and just to make sure she did not run out of room he also bought her a 500 gig external storage drive. oh, and by the way that new 22&rdquo; lcd monitor is total sweet.    Ryan and i spent a good couple of hours setting up and trying to transfer files from moms old computer to her new one.  after being told (by the old computer) that it would take 237 mins. (which is roughly 4 hours) to transfer a 3.5 gig file we decided to let it go and call it a night.  the next day i came back and picked up both boxes and took them home where i could work on them while doing other things.  once i started to investigate why the old computer was running so slow i discovered that it had about 35 (and this is not an exaggeration) background programs running.  after closing all of them but the ones need to run the computer things picked up speed.  i spent several more hours sifting though moms computer to find things i thought she might need and downloaded drivers for the stuff she would be hooking up to the computer.  on sunday morning, hopping that she had not come home yet i took the boxes back to their house and spent 2 more hours hooking up all the cords fighting stuff on moms desk and making sure it had an internet connection and was working ok.    Later that day dad called me and kept me on the phone while he brought mom in to show her the new present.  she was happy, i think.  any way, we still have a lot to do.  we still have to reload all the programs that she used on a regular basis and make sure we got all the things she want to have on her new computer.    I hope to show her how to close down her background programs so that this Really fast computer does not start running slow too.  but that having been said Happy birthday mom.

...Knocking over a C Stand at any time, or any pice of equipment, but particularly in the middle of a shot while the camera is rolling.  this will immediately focus everyones attention on you. the camera will stop and everyone will wait for you to pick it up and set it right.  then afterward make fun of you as if you have never been on a movie set before and have no idea what you are doing.  

...Farting in the middle of a quiet scene in front of the entire crew, cast and any one else who might just happen to be there, resulting in the cast busting out laughing and unable to regain composure for 15 min.  during which time the whole crew waits and stares at you for adding an extra 30 mins. to their day.  

...If you have to deal with that person again and there&rsquo;s no getting out of it , go up to them and say&rdquo; hey do you remember that time i was talking shit about you and you heard me over the comtex? 

...If you are an FX guy and you have to do a fire/explosion effect and you blow up a building or lift the roof off a house, all you have to do is say&rdquo; oops, i might have given that a little to much.&rdquo; and just go back to cleaning up your gear.

I might not have time to do one every day but i will try to keep putting new things up every now and again.


by the way:  Deal/Project #2 hours to date spent:4.5 and ticking.    I can defiantly see why this project was important to the person it is for.

...If i had been thinking at all what it would in-tale me doing i should have probably said i could not do it.  at any rate it will start with me getting up at 5:00 am and racing all over the city.  (not fun).


Deal two, I can not go in to details at this time, but i can say this:  It is going to take 10 times longer to complete this task than initially thought. in my mind a simple thing, once started, a completely different story emerged.  ...  I work up in-till saturday night so i am not sure how this task is going to get done.    I have a partner on this task who is also extremely busy right now.  anyway i sure something will happen to allow me to finish.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>New Iphone coming out.</title><dc:creator>Branitt@branitt.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-06-11T20:35:43-06:00</dc:date><link>http://branitt.com/page1/files/2cee2934ee76cc7f38641f90d7a4f78d-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://branitt.com/page1/files/2cee2934ee76cc7f38641f90d7a4f78d-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[so with the new iphone coming out  Melissa is very excited.  we made a deal that when the new 3G iphone comes out, if i can buy one, she gets my iphone.    July 11th is the day that they will be available, which is great cuz i have one month to sell, save and barter for enough to buy one.

I am working on a show that has had very good hours and not very hard work, you would think that i might make a little time to blog, but alas i have not.    I have been very busy though.  last week i was sick, which by the way takes up a lot of time in which you get nothing done. this week i have been working and building things for work at my office.


For those who care i hope to have an ice blocking video done by this weekend.  i can not believe how long something so simple has taken me.    I am partly going to blame having to learn completely new soft ware and editing program, and partly blaming not being able to decide on the music.

I immediately pulled over and sat there for a min thinking well at least i got my computer before my car died.    Turns out after further investigation that it was just a fan belt and a call to my wonderful and helpful father would solve my problem and get me back on the road.  ...

...Imagine if you will some one came in one night while you were sleeping and took all the keys off you key board and remapped them.  so if you hit  the G key the number 9 popped up on the screen and so on and so on.  


The keyboard itself is different  that should not take long to get use to as i have several other computers that i use that all have different keyboard.  the one big difference that this keyboard has that is total cool is backlit keys.  

...I push the on button and in 30 sec i am using the computer.  that is going to take no time getting use to.  i am however going to have a hard time starting my pc from now on.


It was explained to me the way you use a mac is to think of the easiest way to do something and that is probably how it is done.  ]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
