Hey everyone, I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support the Susan G. Komen Central Florida Race for the Cure® on October 5, 2008 in the fight against breast cancer.

Please join me in the fight by pledging in support of my participation in the Race or contributing generously to the Susan G. Komen Central Florida Race for the Cure®.  Your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically underserved communities in Central Florida and national breast cancer research.

If you would like to sponsor my participation online, click here.

*Yawn, well made it to the Orlando International Airport .... at 4:30am! Me and the misses are heading out westward towards L.A. Taking one of those long and well needed vacations! Looking forward to hitting those beaches, chatting with some movie stars, and checking out the Siggraph conference.

Today I took part in a photo opt here at Full Sail regarding my recent involvement in the Research and Development dept. Here you see me receiving my first check from the Whirlpool project which helped launch the R&D and Full Sail's University status.

Well today I received in a few orders of my "Art of Sketchy Pictures" book only to find that the book's cover was already peeling! I'm having to re-ship it back to the publishers and get some replacements. sigh, now I have to wait another 2 weeks! hopefully they'll come soon!!

Well the new Quicktime 7.4.1 patch has been released, as it fixes the previous compatibility problems it introduces some new problems. One of them prevents Quicktime from creating m4v files. So if you use the Export for web feature or try to export for Apple TV it won't work. Though these problems seem to only be linked with Tiger, Leopard seems unaffected by these bugs.

For any of those who haven't upgraded to the new Quicktime 7.4...DON'T!!! The new Quicktime 7.4 updates brings lots of problems and compatibility issues, especially for After Effects users!

Also one problem I've been having is my coworkers who upgraded their Quicktime app can't seem to view any of the movies I've exported out of Motion. One solution we had around this was using the export for web option, for some reason they were able to view these movies.



For now we will just have to wait for the new patch update, hopefully coming out soon...
