So I've finally relented. After what seems like forever not understanding what on earth Facebook was for and don't even get me started on Twiitter I've finally seen the light. Having spent the last few weeks learning about this new fangled "internet" craze I think I can finally see the appeal. Seriously, when my co-producers and I first started using digital technology to produce movies we were right at the cutting edge of technology and completely at home with the internet. How things have changed ! Less than 10 years on and now a child of eight is probably more internet savvy than I am!

So I decided enough is enough, time to embrace this whole new shebang, web 2.0, social media and all. So began several weeks of studying the net, reading various books and lots of patient friends explaining why Twitter is not just for letting people know that you're eating a pizza or other earth shattering revelations. Now after all that mental graft I feel I must easily know 1/1000th of what I need to know and I'm probably up to the internet mental age of an nine year old...what progress ! Still you have to start somewhere.
Shortly I hope you'll see some rather groovy icons along the side of the page which do all sorts of things...don't ask me what... I haven't got that far yet. Seriously if you don't know what on Earth they are for, you're just like me several weeks ago and I'd highly recommend finding out. It's a lot less painful than it looks and actually a lot of fun. If you really can't be bothered or it just seems a bit daunting then drop me an email and I'd be glad to share what I'm learning. Who knows I might even put it in my blog. I'll start with a facebook page and Twitter and in the coming weeks there will be updates and links to my LinkedIn, MySpace and Flickr pages as well as a new Youtube channel.
I'll be keeping a music composing blog here on this site, the idea being to have a separate blog elsewhere for my film producery related activities and there will also be a regular blog detailing my adventures scoring the movie LVJ coming soon on a new website at www.lvjmovie.com. I'll post links between the two and also on Facebook and Twitter etc....see how easily I throw these terms around...now what's this whole email thingy about?
