My copy of FCP 5 finally arrived on Wednesday but I haven’t had a chance to open the box yet. It weighs twice as much as Noemi does (and doesn’t smile at all). I’ve gotten a few reports of minor changes to FXScript rendering resulting in small, apparently aspect-related distortions, but no one has complained that Joe’s Filters stopped working. So that’s good. I’m looking forward to getting under the hood and seeing what’s changed.

My parents are in town this weekend with my brother Ben, to see their newest granddaughter and enjoy a long-overdue vacation. I’ll be playing tour guide for most of the weekend, and I’m psychologically preparing myself for not getting much any work done over the next few days.

Times Square was beautiful tonight.
