Our first Christmas tree!

Well, we’re moving forward through 2010 pretty quickly, I gotta say. It’s been a fun week; a comment I wrote about 3D TV being a total sham was quoted on the air in KCRW’s The Business podcast (details below), right after my Zebra spot went up and I was able to eek out another article on iFanboy.com...not to mention all the actual work that I am doing…

I dunno. During the break, I reflected a bit and realized that I really didn't like how crazy I was for the past few months. I mean, I can do it, sure, I can run around and get all the stuff done, but so what?

The best part about the Disney gig, by the way, was going on various message boards and reading the comments about it in on youtube. Like, people really like the spot--they are entertained by it. My friend Steve showed it to his little kid and she really loved it. At the end of it all, honestly, all of this is about entertaining people, about making them laugh, about making them think. It's a really good feeling and I am pleased that I been given the opportunity to entertain lots of people this past year…but I want more, I guess. We'll just keep pressing.

I've been doing a ton of writing this week and it feels good, but it's a bit like quicksand…the more I write, the more writing I realize I have ahead of me.

Speaking of which, I gotta get some stuff done…here’s the background on the whole deal with The Business...it was funny, I had a lot of people calling and emailing me about this!

My comments on 3DTV:
This whole 3D TV thing? it's a sham. You may see sets and players coming
out, but who really thinks consumers are going to jump on yet another new
technology so soon after spending all this money on HD and blu-ray?

Next generation 3D technology is going to require totally new
hardware--new TVs and new Blu-ray players--and they ain't gonna be cheap.
The movies themselves will definitely carry a premium, just Blu-ray discs
do now (which is one of the major complaints people have about the format,
by the way--the movies are just too expensive) and the technology that
manufacturers are showing off still require migraine-inducing glasses!

The only people who are excited about 3D TV are the content producers and
the hardware manufacturers. I have yet to see anyone in the home theater
community, which drives this stuff from an early-adopter consumer point of
view, excited about it. Every time I have heard it discussed, it is
referred to as a gimmick.
