Editors Lounge Friday

October 27, 2011

Alphadogs’ monthly Editors Lounge is always an entertaining and informative event for editors of all stripes. The discussion tomorrow night will skip the usual tech talk and instead focus on how editors edit — the choices we make and why. With high-profile panelists from features, television, reality, and music videos, I suspect the discussion will reveal how similar we are, regardless of the material we cut.

The panel includes Mark Goldblatt, Andrew Seklir, Derek McCants and Bee Ottinger, and will be moderated by Debra Kaufman.

Details are here. Be sure to RSVP. Note that the event is being held at a new location. Doors open at 6:15, the panel starts at 7.

Steve

October 6, 2011

By now, you all know that Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. Many words have been and will be written about him, and how much his vision and passion changed our lives. He was determined to see the future and make it real, and he did that many times over in his short career. Apple’s “think different” ad lauded “the crazy ones,” “the trouble makers,” “the ones who see things differently,” and “who push the human race forward.” Steve Jobs was very much one of those people, and today, one day into a new world without him, I wonder if any of us yet know how much he will be missed.
