He's the guy who executive produced Global Frequency (based on a Warren Ellis comic and starring Michelle Forbes). His blog has been circulating in screenwriting class circles for a while now (it's where I found it), and the GF pilot was leaked onto the web and got him an assload of attention.

And a college friend, but I suppose that has nothing to do with his popularity.

And he's writing the Transformers movie!

That bit I don't get. But it sure beats Catwoman and The Core.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Ah, so he's the friend you were looking askance at for the projects he'd worked on.

I judged him, I admit, and then I recanted.

Speaking of Global Frequency (weren't we), who, having watched the show or read the comic felt that the Frequency was something any of us could be a part of? John has said as much in interview, but I thought it was an elite panel of specialists, and as unattainable as being Jack Bauer or a Bristow.

I'm guessing that life-threatening emergencies which can only be averted by digital artists with an extensive knowledge of Buffy trivia are pretty rare. Not holding my breath for the call.

Any thing I can do, I can give you the digits of someone who can do it better. Now, if you need someone to do krav and display a knowledge of document management while speaking in Jamaican patois, I may just be the one for you.

And if you need someone to analyze a script while entering invoices into QuickBooks and dancing to Earth, Wind & Fire, I'm your gal.

Strike that -- I won't speak in patois, but I'll be more than happy to translate.
