Time to talk about what I've been doing!
Published Oct 19, 2011 | 1 comments
We (as in Microsoft Gaming) has finally made an official announcement about some of the new products I’ve been working on.
Now I can finally share it with you all!
One of the projects I’m working on involves non other than National Geographic: http://gizmodo.com/5851023/kids-swiping-and-leaping-around-nature-with-national-geographic-on-kinect.
We've also launched a Sesame Street product that is very cool for Kniect for Xbox 360. The upcoming “Kinect Sesame Street TV” experience, will be on sale in the spring (2012). It is a true interactivity to the classic children’s TV show. Viewers will be invited to jump into Sesame Street and play... very fun stuff! http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/Features/2011/oct11/10-18KinectPlayfulLearning.mspx
Xbox 360 is Transforming!
As Frank X. Shaw , Corporate Vice President, Corporate Communications, Microsoft, posted on his blog just the other day: Easy"two-way interaction creates entirely new forms of TV entertainment, and nowhere is that more apparent than on Xbox 360."

Downloadable, linear episodes run like a normal television show but give children opportunities to play simple games with familiar characters and don virtual costumes that mold to their bodies and play around with the show's environment. "

I’m super excited to continuing to work to produce these new kinds of experiences for our young people! Stay tuned!

Quick non-audio related RANT: I'm saying NO to ridiculous new BofA service fees
Published Aug 1, 2011 | 0 comments
Just a Quick Rant (had to do it): Non-audio related…
I recently logged into one of my BofA accounts to find a brand new service charge--when my banking habits, account balances, and transactions have not changed one bit.
Thank you, but I will not participate in raised rates. It seems as if BofA does this a lot actually: http://bank-of-america-reviews.measuredup.com/Complaint-Service-charge-13037
BofA I will be closing all my accounts.
I suggest others do the same.
Just say NO to new and additional fees!
I work hard for my money and BofA you haven’t done anything new for me so why should I give you a raise?

About the Sudden Motion Sensor Hating Your Mobile Session
Published Aug 1, 2011 | 0 comments
Interesting post: The Sudden Motion Sensor Hates Your Mobile Session...This is perhaps one of the best reasons ever to purchase a dedicated field recording device. I’ve experienced this problem a few times while recording cars to ProTools from a laptop. Cars can get extremely loud (especially ones with race exhausts) and that volume can literally cause ProTools to pause while recording.
It’s not fun when you know you have to get the take. I used to be of the mindset that recording direct to ProTools results in a more organized session (and easier editing). I have since learned that while that may be true, when in the field just bring your dedicated recorder and you’ll be way happier with the results!
Oh--and a simple verbal slate will allow you to keep things organized.

Let me know what your opinion is on this one!
