This week I'm updating the Madmotion web site using web services like Flickr, Vimeo and Weebly.   Now that I see how easy it is I am planning a web democratizing workshop here in Pittsfield to teach others how to set up their own nearly free web sites.  I'm also finishing up a project for Emmegi ski coneyors, developing new  TV concepts for Clark Communications client CT. Lighting, and hoping to get out and enjoy some of the fresh snow.
