CLVS, Videographer, Social Media Manager

Picture it, English class in the early 1990s at Cardinal O’Hara High School. I don’t remember the lesson that led to it, but the statement stayed with me. The sheer imagination and depth of stating, “I am a tree”, opened up new ideas of perception, time, life, and living in my mind. I also remember Mr. Brown asking me not to repeat it—because some people, especially in a Catholic school, might…

As I woke this morning, I heard myself wishing David Bowie was still alive. About five minutes later my daughter‘s alarm goes off to the sound of the radio and the DJ mentions it’s David Bowie‘s birthday today. Just wow. 💔 I miss him. The current politics of the past number of years, especially this past month or two, and the recent killing of a 37 y/o mother by ICE in the state of Michigan have…

Shopping Hacks to stretch your dollars and even help your dollars grow.

I was inspired to write up this post on some shopping hacks that I use because of a discussion I was having with a friend. They were gripping about how much things are and why can’t we have cyber Monday every day. There is also the issue of the covid 19 pandemic affecting a large section of the population’s income. Christmas is generally difficult if you live on a tight budget or just try to live…

Zoom lessons and its odd quirks.

In the last two weeks of March 2020, everything started shutting down due to a deadly highly contagious virus called Covid19. So named because governments around the world knew about it in 2019 but most of the shutdowns worldwide didn’t start till February and March 2020. Everyone was to shelter in place and after a couple of weeks, the legal industry (and some other industries but not all could)…

Keeping vs Deleting old E-mail accounts…

To turn a phrase from The Clash “Should I stay or should I go now?”, should you keep or delete old e-mail accounts? First, it depends on what the old account is/was used for. Second, how long has it been active, and is the activity still useful for your personal use or business use? Third, do you have to pay a hosting provider to keep the account open? Fourth, is the account linked to a company…

Learn to slow down from Kobe Bryant and those who died with him.

The New Year 2020 rang in and shortly into the new year a tragic multi death accident happens. Granted it was a normal means of travel, but still, a way to rush around and beat traffic. Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others died because they were in a rush and didn’t pay notice to the reality around them. Granted the helicopter was missing some key safety equipment, but a…

5:45 am my alarm goes off and I slowly slide out of bed trying not to stub my toes, again. Just like most very early mornings that I wake to cover an early morning legal video…

The Girl With Tiger Ears

The Girl With Tiger Ears is fierce, wild and free. Her inner light shines bright with every moment of life. Make her smile and you must sit, witness her laughter and you will be blown away. When she is sad it is equal to witnessing the birth of a new star system being born, and when the tears start you wish you hadn’t moved in so close. Yet if you are the one she hugs at that moment or maybe she…

The Necessary Differences Between Deposition Setups.

The necessary differences between a Legal Video Deposition Set Up and a Court Reporter Deposition Set Up might not seem like a big deal till one realizes the importance of optimum comfort for everyone in the room for the next 2 to 10 hours, give or take. Comfort is welcomed when one is at work. Court Reporters like to sit at the head of a table so they can see and hear everyone. However, when…
