A Few of My Favourite Things (of 2014)
A Few of My Favourite Things (of 2014)

You know, I’ve never understood why people consider “My Favourite Things” a Christmas song, and I certainly never get why people think The Sound of Music is a Christmas film (nothing says Christmas like fleeing Nazi occupied Austria).Any-hoo, be that as it may, it's probably why so many people post their “favourite things” lists near the end of the year; that and the fact that they are a great way to recommend products for people to buy for Christmas. I've never done one myself and figured, what the hell? 

So here's a collection of some of my favourite things, things I use on a daily basis, things I couldn't live without, and things you couldn't go wrong with buying.

FCP X Tip: Premiere Pro to Final Cut Pro X

I was recently approached about cutting a project that had been assembled in Adobe Premiere Pro. And while I have nothing inherently against Premiere, I must prefer to work in, and am much faster and more familiar with Final Cut Pro X.

But since I didn't want to waste time re-creating the work that was already done in Premiere I decided to look around to see if there was a quick solution for taking a Premiere Pro project and converting it into a workable Final Cut Pro X project.

Sure enough there was. Click through to find out how.

Roasted Red-Pepper Pesto with Penne
Roasted Red-Pepper Pesto with Penne

So you want to eat better, good for you. But what's this? You don't love cooking, and more importantly don't have time to? 

Fear not. Here's a stupidly simple recipe for one of my favourite dishes. The one element that slows it down? Boiling your water and making the pasta. Other than that you can literally whip this thing up in 5 minutes.

No, this isn't about Final Cut Pro, or filmmaking, or tech, but it's my blog and I can do what I want, right? Besides, you'll be happy I gave you this recipe (which I originally found over at Annie's Eats, so all credit goes to her).
