In the nick of time

Posted by: Jim MacMillan | Comments (0)

I have only been back in town for a about a week, but long enough to slip under the wire for some sweet new Philly honors.

Thanks to Philly Mag‘s Philly Post – and the Technically Philly team - I found myself in the pack between a Miss Pennsylvania and an Eagles tight end today, all named among Philadelphia’s 10 Most Influential Twitter users.

Next, now that I am beginning to settle back into Center City life, I think it might be time to return to a little more blogging as well, perhaps even when I’m not blowing my own horn. Meanwhile, I have a few more plans in the works, and I am still in pursuit of some others, but hope to have some announcements soon.

Thanks again and congratulations to my fellow honorees.

Big Sparklers

I have been having a lot of fun with time-lapse video lately and so I took for Flip Mino out to the Columbia, Mo., fireworks last week. I sped it up to 10,000% on my iMac with Final Cut Express and kept the nat sound.

When a severe thunderstorm blew through Columbia, Mo., yesterday, I set up my Flip Mino inside a window overlooking Ninth and Broadway, and later sped up the footage on my iMac to about 100x with Final Cut Express, just for fun.
