Level 1 – After Dark Trailer
[Vimeo] <— 104,000
Hey Josh... thanks for dropping this on my wall and informing me of Level 1 Productions latest creation. Upon first watch... I have to say this is a very dark teaser. Since the name of the video this year is After Dark – I’m going to let if fly.
I counted 5 *holy shit* moments – 4 *what the* moments – and 20 different rewinds to figure out what in the hell is going on. Favorite shot is at 1:20 – looks like a quarter to reverse quarter transfer… so sick.
Marty Jerston – The Moonlighter
Playing golf with Marty Jertson was fun in College. He was the better than anyone else at Mines – and still is. Good luck with your future career sir.

[Just Read This]
[Denver Post Article]
Talk about a surprise story of the day revolving around a client of mine (Craig Hospital) an unfortunate skiing accident (At Monarch on March 17th, 2011) golfing an amazing course I’ve wanted to play (Ballyneal in Holyoke, CO) and playing 155 holes (walking) for a cause (Ben Cox’s personal patient assistance fund) and a completely random and honest stranger (Jim Colton)…
“If you’re a Golf World subscriber, check out the most recent version of Golf World Monday, the publication’s weekly digital version. #10 features a familiar face. If I had known my composite scorecard was going to be shared with the world, I might have tried a little harder on those four-footers. I also hit this drive on #12 way right into the native.”

Still on a Manchester Orchestra kick. This music video has some pretty amazing elements that make the enjoyment factor raise per viewing.
Manchester Orchestra – Simple Math
How do you know when it’s done?
Of course, it’s not done. It’s never done.
That’s not the right question.
The question is: when is it good enough?
Good enough, for those that seek perfection, is what we call it when it’s sufficient to surpass the standards we’ve set. Anything beyond good enough is called stalling and a waste of time.
If you don’t like your definition of ‘good enough’, then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.

A Collaboration of Two of My Brands
Apple has chosen an Audi edit to showcase the new Final Cut Pro X which was just released today. It is always great to see my number 1 and number 2 brands working together.
Watch this revolutionary edit and look for this shot above (1:05)… and tell me you don’t want to go jump in an Audi R8 and do that.
Joy.

Erik Hauser – Old World Order
A pro is a pro.
Thank you for the reminder Erik Hauser. 1000% agree with you… but this is going to be another slow transition given the speed of media today – Ultra fast compared to the last century.

I can't speak too crazy about the video - but it's good to know about a new place to play in Panama.
