the future of video
I love that blogs have allowed people to post on the web without having to know too much HTML. However, some of my video-geek friends (which I guess is a strange term, as I only know them through email and postings) who have no trouble with technical things (HTML included!) benefit from the simplicity that blogs give you.
Witness http://www.intelligentassistance.com/blog/ I think Philip Hodgetts has a pretty decent grasp on technical information - I use his 'HUB' application to stay up to date with all that changes with Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, compressor, and tons of DV stuff that I am only now getting up to speed with.
Spending 10 years dealing with the Avid and 3/4" tapes has made trying to learn FCP a little confusing at times --- I find myself actually saying 'It can't POSSIBLY be this simple' -- Often it is. Terribly confusing. :)
Anyways - check out Philip's blog. It's a good read for what's going on in this crazy video world.
