A few years ago, I was enamored with the idea of sitting in a coffee shop, casually tapping out prose and sipping house blend. I was also running my own web design business out of my home, and many of my clients had sketchy internet access themselves.

Well folks, here it is. The new Internet Bard. Over the last few weeks, I had to come up with my new blogging focus and theme, which took way longer than expected because I had to start over about three times.
At one point, this blog was supposed to relaunch without any of the previous content, with mostly video posts, and be focused entirely on video storytelling techniques. Oh, and in the midst of all that, I was going to keep ... Read More
