Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

More Storage Goodness From Vantec!

Sometimes two is better than one…

Way back when in October 2008, I gushed about the Vantec external eSATA/USB2 drive dock.  Well, if one bay in the dock is good, I suppose two bays are, well, super good.  This link goes to the ThinkGeek listing for the dual-bay Vantec, and as much as I love the stuff ThinkGeek sells, I’m sure this jewel is available in all sorts of places.  Check it out.  And when you do buy one, be sure to hook it up through the eSATA port - for 3Gb/sec transfer - instead of the measly USB2 port and it’s pathetic 480Mb/sec.  (Imagine that last line in the voice of Star Wars’ Emperor Palpatine.

)

Excuses for safe storage of projects are disappearing daily.  That’s a nice trend I hope will continue.
