Voice actors for animated film and television are some of the most talented performers I’ve ever worked with.

Always worth remembering!

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

- Marcus Aurelius, “Meditations”

Found this in my notes app.

I have no memory of writing it… likely half-asleep.

Was I onto something?

Stories are like gardens that are nurtured — twisting along unanticipated paths, as they reveal themselves to even the authors.

If you relinquish all choices too early, give them up in the name of efficiency, fully formed from the outset, you lose something.

This was a fun conversation! 🖖

Always a pleasure to chat with the folks at @trekculture.bsky.social.

Do I know anyone who knows anyone who works in the upper eschelons of Google or YouTube?

I’m trying to recover some old videos I made decades ago with a friend who passed away. They are trapped on a legacy YouTube account, whose password I’ve forgotten and cannot recover.

“How are you?”

“Struggling to escape the cash nexus doom spiral — but paralyzed by existential dread of the ‘double movement’ polycrisis hyperobject that threatens us all, magnified by the day.”

This sort of genre cinema and practical effects I grew up with in the 1980s and 90s was something tremendously special.

The handcrafted nature of creature makeup and puppetry lent a surreal authenticity to everything.

I will always love it.
