Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Tag: Martinez Beavers Wikipedia


Yesterday was all about help from old friends. I was didn’t hear back from Rickipedia when I notified him that the Martinez Beaver entry was being challenged, but I did see this on the page later in the day. So I’m assuming the elves have done their job for this particular shoemaker. Thank you elves!

I practiced my new and revised speech three times and its hovering nicely around 14 minutes, so I’m feeling good about Tuesday. I started to vaguely think about beaver mania and realize I have no idea whatsoever how I’ll convert a movie from my tiny little mac to run on a big screen without the finished product looking horrible.

I realized I knew happened to know someone who had already dealt with that problem more than once for his film festival career and contacted Ian (Timothy) Boone, who was happy to walk me through some steps. Mostly he cheered me by being impressed that I was working with the very old and very wonderful version of iMovie 6HD, which I have worked very hard to preserve because everyone said its the best. And Ian concurs. I think we’ll be able to rig a nice export that will work on the big screen without being a pixel fest. Thank goodness for him though, because 1080p, h264 and NTSC DV is not a language I’m comfortable speaking!

I was told that the Contra Costa eye column will write a little about the beaver festival making it in the congressional record, but I don’t see it yet. I’ll fill you in as soon as it emerges. For now let me just do some visual share and tell. I don’t know where this particular beaver pond is but this photo showed up yesterday on my google feed. It’s nice to look at but I am quite certain I will never be crossing it!
