"Edutainment"

Creating educational material that is also entertaining makes for a more enjoyable experience and better learning retention.  A few years ago I had the pleasure to work on an industrial video on business ethics for the American Association of Professional Landmen.  (They oversee the purchasing and leasing land for the purpose of drilling for oil and other energy sources.)  It was one of the most cinematic and well acted videos I've had the pleasure to work on.  We just wrapped on another ethics video for the AAPL, and I hope it turns out as good as the last one did!

Silence is golden

The studio computer got a couple much needed upgrades today.  I replaced the comically large rack mountable server case I had installed it in with a (still large, but) more reasonably sized more traditional tower case.  ALSO upgraded were the system fans in the case.  At times when the CPU was under particular strain, you would not be blamed for mistaking the sound of this PC with a leaf blower.  Now, with the ultra quiet Noctua fans installed, it's almost quiet enough for you to wonder if it's actually running!  The colors Noctua chose for this series of fans, tan and brown, are definitely... distinct.  I'm sure they would look amazing in a custom PC built with wood panelling. Fortunately, I'm more concerned with performance than looks (and there aren't many LEDs inside my computer case), so it doesn't bother me.
This is the before:
