About Me
I followed ’’ed_grover’’ to this site after two years at another online community of talented, dedicated (and often insane) writers that is slowly caving in on itself due to recent ill-advised corporate management decisions which presumably are inevitable byproducts of the CEO and his managers having read too many of our opinions and actually bought the products.
My family and I live in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Northeast Los Angeles County, California, USA with my wife of 23 years, a former professional ballet dancer who now teaches. We have twin sons in college in Southern California.
As a former award-winning major market newspaper and network broadcast journalist, I can remember when ’’cut and paste’’ meant scratchy copy paper cut with straight edges pasted together with glue from pots filled with the cigar ashes of sweat-stained, yellow-skinned news editors. I’ll take my old Underwood manual typewriter with the green keys over my laptop any day, though it lies unused for decades somewhere under a wood pile in my garage, I imagine.
At work I have spent the last 14 years helping build the leading producer and distributor of corporate and agency multimedia content to diverse television, radio and Internet audiences.
And, amazingly enough considering the space I work in, I’m still employed...actually busier than ever with added responsibilities as the economic situation has forced us all to change how we operate...and staying that busy is eating up my time so much in recent weeks that my contributions to this site will be few and far between for a while....
...which may be a good thing.
