While updating my website today, I saw this one-liner announcement with a link to upgrade to Wordpress latest version 3.0. Happily I clicked on the link, activated the automatic upgrade option and successfully installed the new Wordpress 3.0. "Sucessfully installed" was what the automatic software installer flashed on the screen. HOWEVER, my heart sank when I refreshed my website and found it reduced to just one line of message on the screen "Fatal error: .../wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 289". I tried to backspace my admin control panel, but it also flashed "Fatal error: .../wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 289". Maybe it was the Google Chrome browser problem. Let's try Firefox.  Same thing "Fatal error: .../wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 289". I knew I had to do two things before upgrading Wordpress, but bravely didn't.  Backup and deactivate all plugins. So this is it. Is it going to be another sleepless night of fra...

I got a big fat soft bubble pack envelope in my snail mail box. It came all the way from Traffic Geyser in the US. At first I thought is was money or maybe some video in a box stuff.

Completed Training a new batch of 7 participants. This is another creative bunch with bright ideas. Look at the video they directed and produced. All I did was provide the skeleton script and act. The guys figured out the rest, from lighting to props. In these 2 full days, I imparted my videography skills. Day 1 was using the camcorder with light and sound. Day 2 was editing with Sony Vegas Pro on PC notebooks. Beyond technical aspects, the course includes storytelling. The art of conveying a message with moving visuals. By the way, it's not about home videos nor movies. This hands-on workshop is for serious corporate learners. People who want to make videos with a call to action. Here's more about the 2-day Basic Videography Course . Held in VideoLane's Bukit Merah Studio, Singapore. Adrian Lee http://VideoLane.com

Tomorrow, a new batch of 7 participants will be attending the 2-day Basic Videography Course. The equipment and system are all set up and ready for an interactive hands-on experience. I will personally be conducting the lessons and imparting the skills that made me a good living. Day One will be mastering the art of handling the camcorder to capture and tell a visual story. Day Two is the art of editing a compelling video that conveys a message with a call to action. Two full days in VideoLane Studio with access to indoor and outdoor environment for practice. Why learn videography? Like computer literacy, video presentation is an essential for the future. -- Adrian Lee http://VideoLane.com As Seen on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc0ZXlIAHp4 ----------------------------- VideoLane Pte Ltd 1003 Bukit Merah Central #06-07, Singapore 159836. tel:67388313

I learnt how to make 'reverse' sushi at a workshop I shot in a Korean Restaurant. Yes, this is Korean sushi, no raw fish. Reverse sushi is having the rice rolled outside of the seaweed. The secret? Use food wrap over the sushi roller. If you want to know exactly how, leave a comment and request me to make a video. -- Adrian Lee As Seen on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc0ZXlIAHp4
