“The catalyst of truth is ruthless curiosity”

News for Ladies

Maybe I love campy British comedy, or maybe I was hammered, or maybe I'm a fag. Actually, there's no maybe about it -- I'm queer as a box of birds! However, at that time I was still very much in the closet so this way outside my comfort zone. I guess I needed to express the pink side of myself. Detractors be damned! I was pretty sure nobody would ever see it. This sassy, rude, flamboyant, loud, spoiled, tacky, sarcastic, flaming drag queen newscaster delivers the daily news for women. Shot in the early 1980's, this video was completely unscripted, unrehearsed, unedited, and most of all: uncalled-for. It's become a fan favorite so I'll surely never live it down... It's for everyone out there because everyone will either love it or hate it... a lot.

My long time friend Ron Hubbard is a folk singer. He has a band named "Shovel Head Fred" up in Washington state. In the mid-1990s, he came down to San Diego to visit my production studio in San Diego. I convinced him to let me record his wonderful music. After 4 hours in the studio, we had a "killer mix" on tape. Many years later, I rode shotgun on a big-rig and shot of bunch of driving footage. Since Ronnies song was about a freeway, I put together a music video. It's not Hollywood, but his music is spot on.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE!

I've got lots of wild stuff to put on here... when I get around to it. You'll see departments like:

Armchair science in - Physics, Cosmology, Neurology, Sociology, Human logic and reasoning, psychology and relationships

Bad-ass filmmaking skills. 4K video production, editing, color grading, special effects, animation, audio production

Writing. Film scripts, technical articles, satire, novels. All with a sarcastic sledgehammer wit

Computers - Design, build, repair, upgrade, crash, configure, smash keyboards, programming (Pascal, VB, C++, shell. rexx, 4GL), see how fast 16 cores can count to 8 billion, rub my GPU for luck, crash, smoke, file, explosion, start over.

Paranormal investigations - Scrutinize photos, video, EVP, telepathy, ignore YouTube "proof" then scream and run away.

Astrogeology studies - Friend may actually have a lunar meteorite (extremely rare) and we've spent 10 years trying to authenticate it.

Musician and composer - played piano and pipe organ for 55 years. Classical, jazz, metal, heavy organ. Learning "Sinfonia" (#29) by Bach. Roland and Yamaha and Hauptwerk gear. MIDI DAW (part of Davinci Resolve). 2 albums.

... Coffee is a very serious thing.

I used to work long hours, now I work wide hours. It's been a long climb to the middle. I want to be more assertive if it's okay with you. I'm the kid your mother wouldn't let you play with. just sayin'
