seeking help with my video backlog
Do you or someone you know want to get more experience with video editing in general or with Final Cut Pro X specifically? I’m looking for one or two like-minded individuals to help me catch up on my huge backlog of non-paying video editing projects.

goodbye location independent lifestyle, at least for now
For the past 18 months, we’ve tried to live what’s called a “location independent lifestyle”. But it hasn’t worked out so well. We’ve spent a bunch more money than we’ve earned, our two new businesses – videography and photography – still aren’t close to paying the bills, and our medical costs are likely to go way up in 2013. So we decided to settle down somewhere, and that Todd is going to take a regular full time job in the software business again.

When I learned about it early in 2011, I decided I could probably afford to go to either Rollercon or the World Cup to… Continue reading I’m now a citable expert in roller derby
everything has changed
I just realized I haven’t written anything on my Todd Bradley’s Galaxy blog since May 22. Wow! Just in case you’ve been living on Planet-X and haven’t heard the news, the “12 Cities, 1 Year” project is now underway. Since May 22, I quit my job at Polycom, sold our house, sold my motorcycle, sold… Continue reading everything has changed
Memories of Wild West Showdown 2011
The first weekend of March 2011, I went to my first major roller derby tournament. It was Wild West Showdown, in Bremerton, Washington. There, several of the top teams in the western USA met for two and a half days of roller derby on three tracks. Teams traveled to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds from Seattle,… Continue reading Memories of Wild West Showdown 2011
