Online Training – lynda.com

Online Training – lynda.com.

Lynda.com

If you are looking for online training classes for Final Cut Pro, or Photoshop, or Microsoft apps like PowerPoint or Excel, this is a FANTASTIC resource. They have over 40,000 videos available! For those of us who like to learn aurally, like I do, this is among the best. On the other hand, if text is your medium for learning this may not be so great. But the Lynda book series is awesome, too.

Embed multiple Google calendars

July 16, 2009 by eric · 3 Comments 

We’re all fine here: Embed multiple Google calendars.

Yeah! A lone blogger helped me embed multiple calendars into my Google Site. I have been using Google Sites for almost 6 moths. I love it and recommend it to all. But, like all computer applications, Google products suffer various problems  I like to call “annoyances”. It’s a term I learned to love because of the O’Rielly book series of the same name. Windows has tons of ‘em, Google may have a few less of them, but they all have their share of geeky, hellishly persistent, annoying problems, annoyances. Not being able to embed multiple calendars into one display on a Google Site the same way  you can with a regular web sites,  is one that has vexed me for months. Like many users out there, I consider it a necessary feature for Google Calendar and Google does not make it easy to do so in its Sites product. Thank you, Nathan Cooprider, for a work around while Google gets caught up. he has posted an illustrated, relatively easy, “how to”.

Nathan’s blog is called “We’re All Fine Here”, a reference to Han Solo in the belly of the Death Star talking to the guards over the intercom.

rosephillips.com is now home for RPC

I have re-acquired the domain name “rosephilips.com” for exclusive use by Rose-Phillips Communications. Years ago, I switched from .com to .net as a subtle change in tone for what was mostly a non-profit enterprise, email and web-space for my family. Now that I am doing business as Rose-Phillips Communications, I brought the rosephillips.com domain back online. All the old rosephillips.net email addresses still work; they redirect to the new domain automatically. As before, I am hosting with Laughing Squid of San Francisco. They have great prices, superior technology, excellent customer support, social conscience and good business sense.

Slab building extraordinarily tall vases

July 19, 2006 by eric · Leave a Comment 

I was able to tape another session with Ken Jacobsen at the Visual ARTS center. Today is the third shoot of the slab building process he uses for his tall vases. A single vase can take around 20 hours to construct. Ken has developed a unique set of techniques. By shooting a little footage each day during the creation of one vase I hope to show how amazing this process is.

Raku:Playing with fire

July 18, 2006 by eric · Leave a Comment 

I had fun shooting video of Jon Lovejoy at his home studio and his class at the VAC. Raku is video friendly. The finishing movement in raku, American -style raku, is a “reduction process” involving glowing hot pots, garbage cans and roaring paper fires.
