Outside of the fact that they already exist, can someone really point out the use of fax machines that use phone lines in modern days? You can transfer high quality documents faster if fax machines were broadband. I’m not suggesting getting rid of them altogether, because it’s hardware that people are used to, but I’m suggesting that they change.

I’m 100% positive that it can’t be that hard to figure out how to put a broadband fax machine on the market.

Rhythm in the Rope won the Emmy for Best Sports Documentary last night. That makes two. Amazingly enough, Brian Keane didn’t win the Oustanding Music/Direction/Lyrics Emmy (he ALWAYS wins or at least shares the award with someone – it happened at the 26th Awards)

Rhythm in the Rope: This new documentary video by Johnson McKelvy originally aired on ESPN-2 on June 9th, 2005. Rhythm in the Rope movingly conveys the impact the sport has had on many inner-city children since its inception. Following teams from Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, South Carolina, and Japan as they prepare for the 2004 Double Dutch Holiday Classic at the Apollo Theater in New York City, McKelvy captures the struggles, hopes, and triumphs in their lives, and the true spirit of the sport. Wonderful and revealing insight into the dedication of coaches, young team members, parents, and the National Double Dutch League. Includes scenes from the 13th Annual Holiday Classic not available elsewhere.

When composing for the project, Brian thought it had the chance to win the award. I’m kinda surprised that the Women’s Soccer documentary didn’t win, but oh well.

And just like that I’m a 11 time Emmy Award Nominee with a guaranteed second award this year with a possible third.

Fuck yeah.

I worked on all of these films:

• Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team- HBO

• Mantle – HBO
• Perfect Upset – HBO
• Rhythm in the Rope – ESPN2
• You Write Better Than You Play: The Frank Deford Story – ESPN Classic

Yeah we swept a category with soundtracks. For the Deford Story it’s work as an engineer, editor and sound effect work.

I also worked on these three of five nominated films:

• Mantle – HBO

• Rhythm in the Rope – ESPN2
• You Write Better Than You Play: The Frank Deford Story – ESPN Classic

So you know that you’re turning your girlfriend tech-y when she knows that laptops are going to use flash memory instead of hard drives looking forward AND she makes fun of you for only having a desktop.

Maybe next she’ll listen to Diggnation on her own.
