You always think that advanced video techniques and digital editing and computers are for the young. Too old of techno? Heck no. I really love green screen effects.

When I was a kid this was commonplace and you didn’t have to tell people to do it. Senior citizens are more vulnerable to the heat than any of us. Many that still live in their homes, or their own apartments are on tight fixed incomes and lack proper air conditioning or fans to stay [...]

Do These Senior Citizens Need Jail Time or Love? [AUDIO]

Sean McMaster — Wed, 11 May 2011 15:36:00 +0000

I think for most people turning 60 these days doesn’t really change much. Most of our “senior citizens” are perfectly fine, high functioning members of society. But, there are the few that clearly have lost a little something along the way. Maybe they have senility or worse. I can’t say what they do “have” but [...]
