What is a QR Code? Well if you click that Wikipedia link the you will see that it is just a kind of barcode matrix that can be scanned. Once scanned by a device that understands the purpose of QR Codes it will navigate to the site/webpage that it is linked to. Depending on the application you could just bookmark or navigate given the option. Hence the name QR: Quick Release, you do not have to type in a URL you can just scan in this code.
So here is SynapticLight’s QR Code. Seems a bit pointless that it is here since you are here, so why scan it, ha ha ha.
Anyway if you want to know where this is made, I got it generated at sitemapdoc.
I’ll get it printed out on stickers and plaster it all over the place, lol, or maybe note. Maybe it will go well on a business card.
If you want to try it out why don’t you scan it in.
In fact I’ll create one for subscribing to the SynapticLight RSS feed …
There was a search term that brought someone to my blog: “synapse is a node based compositor” that certainly piqued some interest; what with the words synapse and compositor used in the same search phrase. So I did the same search and it brought me to this. Now this is quite cool.
Ok, I was disappointed at first when I saw that there was no OSX option, but the linux option got me thinking … VMWare or something like that.
With my Lion incompatible Shake 4.1 holding me back I am keen to see how this works, and who knows maybe there is a OSX version on the horizon, given that this is in early development phase.

Here’s a question for you. What will happen with the Pro Apps now that Steve is not here any more? More specifically Final Cut Pro X. And of course the Professional offering of Mac Pros. This question assumes that Steve Jobs’s vision for FCPX was very influential – which I believe was.
If I was Apple’s CEO it would be important to me to streamline the business and to shed low priority departments without emotion. With the focus of Apple dead set on mobile devices and with the stream of cash coming into Apple from those devices, I am sad to say that FCPX is not going to make it, that includes Logic and the Mac Pro.
Pity.
Then the follow on question is who will buy FCPX? Or would the break away as an independent subsidiary that answers to Apple but does not weigh it down.
Or is this just unjustified guessing? Hmmm.
If I had the budget I would be editing with Avid, color correcting with Da Vinci (already with Lite) and compositing with Nuke.
Actually if Hit Film went OSX then I’s be there in a sprint
Hmmm, time to dual boot?

Just checking in here with some update from my personal life.
Crazy
I have decided to participate in a triathlon, well one of many with the first being Challenge Cape Town‘s 4:18:4. It is only a 400m open water swim, 18km cycle and a 4km run. The intention is to work my way up to the real event one year later which is a whopping 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and a 42.2km run.
Sooo, if anyone has any advice please feel free to comment away.
Why
Why do this? You are probably thinking. Welll, the thing is that I made a life altering decision to get my health in order, and since I tend to take things to the extreme, one thing led to another and I found myself in the best physical condition of my life – something that opened the door to participate in events such as triathlons.
And I am amped about; super excited.
The only thing I find completely daunting is the financial investment to get kitted out for this. Stupid me, I sold my bike about 6 years ago. Now I am faced with the prospect of having to fork out cash I do not have to buy a slippery wetsuit and a fancy bike. Fortunately I am able to borrow a bike and a wetsuit albeit a surfing wetsuit with the sleeves cut off.
Help
If you have gotten this far in blurb about participating then I ask to hang on for a moment to hear out a proposition.
Like I said earlier, getting kitted out is expensive. My wife supports me in this endeavor but it would not be very fair to her or my kids to hand out cash for the crazy goal that should be used for other things. So I ask, that if you would like to participate in getting me to my first Triathlon and be a witness to my journey, I ask if you would please help me out in a small way; anything from $10 and up by a group of helpful contributors would empower me to get the wetsuit I need.

Hi, you may have noticed that I have not blogged for a while. That is because of many reasons, but the big one is that I was spending too much time worried about the it than making any real impact.
So, I am taking a few months rest.
See you on the flip side.
RigsEnvy is a great place to see what HDSLR cameras people are using in the real world:
While we all know shooting a great film does not require a great rig, most people agree that it helps! Since everyone is interested in these, we thought it would be a good idea to build a web site dedicated to these wonderful pieces of gear.
I even put up my rig, which looks stupid without a decent lens, lol.
Is yours up?
do it, no matter how small or large, how cluttered or simple.
Mine is there
