I never wanted to go back to it.

Over 10 years ago, I left a business that I started.  It was struggling, and I let it go.  I was a software engineer, and worked with many companies on many projects large and small.  Some of them were very challenging and fun to problem solve.  Whether I was working on my own or with a team.

I closed up shop, ended all the contracts, and never looked back.  I was DONE with programming, and everything about it.

I did some traveling, and got into making videos.  Having a great time.  My entrepreneurial spirit never rested, though. I started making videos and putting them on YouTube.  I have always loved making videos, so it was a natural transition for me. 

Then, I started putting myself out there to do some video editing and animations (motion graphics).  I enjoy making and editing videos for others almost as much as I enjoy making them myself.

Recently, I had a couple of projects cross my desk that screamed for automation.  Doing some research, I discovered there is a way to code some processes in Adobe's suite of applications.  It isn't very well documented, but I was able to figure it out, with the help of a few great forums.

This made me realize that there might be more jobs like this.

Now, I am back to coding.  LOL.  BUT, at least it is something that is integrated with my other passion in life.

I have been working hard at creating a new service that I am really going to push hard.  It can be called many things; batch editing and bulk editing are two popular terms.  I like the term "Automated Editing".  To me, that just sounds nicer than "Bulk" or "Batch".

To learn a little more about it, you can visit my site that explains it a little more.
