Hello Everyone, It has been a while since I put anything on my Live Space. I have been busy getting MySpace pages setup for the TV show and for myself. I started attending one of the largest private art schools in the country in June. The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I have always been interested in TV and film since I was a little boy, and since I have a bunch of free time I decided to go back to school. I learned that I would need to buy a Mac computer in order to attend the university. As you can see from my last post I was very surprised and found the transition from PC to Mac not that difficult. The video editing software we are using is what many of the production houses use. Even Mr. Coppola uses it. So it can’t be to bad. After installing Final Cut Pro HD on my iMAC, which took several hours and over 60gb of hard disk space, I found a treasure trove of tools, Video filters, professional audio editing software, Color correction software, Title Software, the ...

I had the opportunity to use a Macintosh computer many many years ago. I wasn’t really impressed with it at that time. I am a PC man from the word go. I have been building them and custom designing systems for over 20 years. I decide to go to film school and guess what? The classes REQUIRE a Macintosh computer. Now, I haven’t really looked at a Mac at all. Luckily for me the University I attend had recommended systems for the classes I will be taking. I purchased a standard iMAC 2.66 Ghz system with 4Gb ram and 640GB hard drive. I should have opted for the full size keyboard. I also purchased Final Cut Pro Studio, which is the software we are learning at the university. I was surprised at how fast this dual core cpu was performing. I built a custom PC with quad-core cpu 5gb ram and 1.5 terabytes hard disk space, and doing a simple 30 second video render on the iMAC was nothing. It took maybe a minute at most. The custom PC took bout 5 minutes maybe a tad less then that. ...

First off I must give you a few warnings. DO NOT use baking soda in a hydrogen system of any kind. Gasoline and diesel have chemicals in them to alert you of a poisonous gas called carbon monoxide. Using baking soda in a Hydrogen on demand system will also produce this gas, except it won't burn your throat, or irritate your eyes. You will just get sleepy and shortly there after be deceased. A system that says to use baking soda in the water should be avoided. The other thing to watch for is if it says to use glass jars for the electrolysis chamber. Personally to me having glass jars under the hood just don't sit right with me. They may work, but just look like something you would be embarrassed to show anyone. "Hey looky here Billy Joe I got me a six pack of mason jars under the hood." the glass jar systems also seem to only give you maybe 5 mpg more then not having it. The protium system is much more efficient and looks very impressive and professional. I doubled my mileage ...

How many times have we seen statements like this? Well, I have been looking online for several months. I finally found a company that not only had a high quality system but also thought of safety. The system has a cut-off in case of an accident or engine stall. This was a very big plus in my eyes. Although the system cost over $900 dollars, the equipment you receive is of very high quality. And the technical support is great. I ordered my kit back in July, and received it just a few days before our big move (they are on a 6 week back order)across country from New Mexico to Washington State. This left us with little time to test it before taking it on the road. Luckily for me Vern had arrived from Washington state to help us move back. With a little hard work and a lot of reconfiguring we got the kit installed. Total time was 3 days. The kit is supposed to be able to be installed in 2 hours. The reason for it taking so long was finding locations for the three main parts. The ...
