Escaping the thunderstorms and humidity, I’m off to California for a week of tech-dork consulting, meeting with animation firms for a possible upcoming Cyan film, and (most importantly) honing my trumpet skills at the Stanford Jazz Workshop.

Posts, I realize, have been a bit sparse of late, but I’m trying to get back to a daily schedule. Also, as things are gearing up for a Cyan documentary that starts shooting next week in Israel (yes, kids, I’m racking up the frequent-flyer miles like a pro), I should also be writing regularly in my movie mogul alter-ego at www.cyanpictures.com.
