GCI tiered pricing no problem for this Anchorage Web Video Specialist
Am I happy about GCI’s new tiered pricing? My pocket book says “hell no!” I don’t like it one bit.
Beyond that—philosophically and strategically—I am convinced that unlimited high performance broadband for everyone is vital to the state’s education and business interests. The internet is like a modern roadway system for how we do everything. It’s foundational and indispensable.
Yes, what I just said conflicts with my strong capitalistic ideals and conviction that GCI has a right to dictate its own terms.
I hope at some point we can figure out a way to make it all work better for Alaska internet users, while still providing GCI, ACS, and MTA lots of revenue.
However, from the standpoint of a new media professional…I have no worries. I’ve mastered the techniques to deliver rich media through thin pipes, and I’m getting even better with advanced compression/decompression.
A Real Dog of a Summer
The headlines are confirming what none of us in South Central Alaska have missed: It’s been a real dog of a summer. Hardly a true summer at all! But maybe our canine friends can help remind us one can get wet and have a ball at the same time. Yes, indeed!
Five or six portfolio pieces coming
I’ve had a busy year and haven’t kept my portfolio updated. I’ll be changing that soon. In the meantime I’ve added a sample to one of my secondary web sites.
Anchorage Video Productions is a video-centric site where I feature some of my work.
A new web site: Seaplanes!
I wanted to announce the debut of a new Alaska website:
SeaPlane Alaska!
I just started on it so it will take some time to whip it into shape. Seaplanes (alternatively dubbed Floatplanes) have been an emerging interest since I came to Alaska. The site celebrates the state’s pilots, adventurers, and the amazing planes they fly.
This Anchorage FileMaker Database Expert says “Let’s Go!”
I literally have used FileMaker Pro since version 1! That was twenty years ago! Back when I was just a kid in Texas I ran an authorized FileMaker training center and developed dozens of FileMaker solutions for clients including GTE Visnet, JC Penny Life Insurance and WFAA (the Dallas ABC network affiliate).
So what great news it was last month when FileMaker Inc. announced the release of FileMaker Go–a mobile version for iPhones and iPads. Sweetness!
Fellow Alaska Creative Professionals: Capture the Moment
Some years back I was decorating with a girl friend. This woman had stunning eyes that popped with sparkle and surrounded by Christmas decor—she was stunning. It dawned on me…her eyes were like Christmas ornaments. Suddenly I saw before me a living Christmas tree.
As a marketing professional reading this post you understand what I mean: creative moments just happen. You see something new. You think of the perfect campaign…the ultimate story line. The important thing is to not let these moments get away.You must capture them.
