When’s the last time you used a pay phone?
It may have been a while since you even saw or noticed one!
New York City is part of a pilot program that will convert 250 pay phones with a 32″ ad-supported touch screen, complete with web and email access, as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot for device use and built-in cameras for Skyping.
Good or bad idea?

The Vatican Library and Bodleian Library at Oxford University have announced that over the next four years they will be scanning and releasing online 1.5 million pages of ancient texts. Many of these documents are unavailable, even in person, as they are too frail to be touched. Now, these priceless pieces of human history will be preserved forever.

Fairly recently I made the jump from my free Dropbox account to a paid option. Knowing that I can access my files from different machines is great, but my favorite part is knowing my files are always backed-up. Although I don’t use it for long-term backup storage, it’s the perfect “current projects” solution.
As I first begun, I was a little bummed I had to move my folders to my Dropbox folder. What if I wanted to keep them in their current local setup, but sync them? Or how about individual folders?
The default Dropbox setup only syncs folders inside of your Dropbox folder, but I’ve found a solution for syncing local folders outside of the default Dropbox folder.

I’m turning off twitter (mostly) for all of this week.
It’s a yearly ritual.
Why?
Because it’s time for the 2012 NAB show, a six day hardware bender that will leave most video-gear-aholics with a massive headache and a spotty memory of the previous days’ indulgence.
Being a registered gear-aholic myself, I know that if I want to get any work done, I have to turn off the constant stream of info about the newest 2.5K resolution video camera priced under $3K.
I had to make an exception, however, for the NAB Live stream with Philp Bloom because they happened to doing a critique of a video created by my friend and former boss Chris Weatherly. It also happened to be a video I helped produce. Despite my minimal involvement, when I saw Stephen Goldblatt on the set holding a microphone getting ready to critique a video piece created by a church, I’ll admit, I felt my stomach drop.

If you’re not familiar with what a ‘Rube Goldberg Machine’ is (I didn’t know until I just looked it up), here’s the technical definition:
A Rube Goldberg machine, contraption, invention, device, or apparatus is a deliberately over-engineered or overdone machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction. The expression is named after American cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg (1883-1970).
Now, here’s the new record holder for the world’s largest Rube Goldberg machine in action:
