[Morrigoon]

I have a new appreciation for low-budget television production. Watching PBS, and there was this program on science (WIRED Science) that reminded me of the TV magazine-style program we used to do in my TV Production classes (Contra Costa Today, if anybody cares).

And I realized... it's pretty good! Better than a lot of the so-called "professional" dreck you see on the major networks. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that big budgets and technology diminish the motivation to create good content (as evidenced by the decline of video game playability). Watching the, not amateur, but shall we say lower-status professional, work is giving me an increased appreciation for the skill of the people involved.
