About

Bruce Simmons, Owner / Editor of Stuff on Brusimm Welcome to BRUSIMM.com or Stuff on Brusimm. (For short, SoB) [You can contact me via Bruce4Brusimm over on GMAIL dot com. ]

It’s here that I chat about the things that catch my attention. The things and events that ignite my passionate opinionated mode! As far as my writing goes, I write as if we’re standing around the water cooler at work or kickin’ it at happy hour. It’s just us hanging out! I’d like to think you’d feel the same and chime in here and there.

Something about me: It’s weird trying to think of something to say about myself. Do I chat about my productive employment background, hobbies or the intermittent murderous sprees I’ve gone on? Maybe I’ll stick to the productive information.

They Call Me Bruce

(No! Really, they do!)

My name is Bruce Simmons. I’m an Applications Programmer by day in The Bay Area at an extremely cool organization. But I have a passion for bits & pieces of the entertainment industry, sports such as NASCAR and I have a weakness for screaming out loud about some consumer related information that I need to share or think you should be aware of!

My background will show that I have experience with public speaking, computer administration, statistical analysis, real estate ins and outs & security administration.

You’re saying so? What makes you the expert in some of these things you write about Mr. Bruce? Glad you asked.

I’ve worked at two companies that have their hand in the technical side of Hollywood. One of them received a technical (scientific) Oscar for their contributions to Hollywood. One such contribution was software that generates ocean & sky affects for movies like James Cameron’s Titanic. The place I’m at now helped develop the Technicolor electronic printing timer and is responsible for developing Digital Satellite Broadcasting and HDTV. They were also one of the first five companies on the internet. Yea, I’m knee deep in cool.

My personal entertainment experience includes stage manager, lighting & sound work for several stage productions. I’ve also participated in a few Shakespeare festivals, and I’m a Thespian. (Does that expire or is it like a tattoo and follows you forever?) My hobbies include NASCAR, studying marketing, editorial writing and SEO skills.

I started writing technical “how to” newsletters for my job back in 1999. I enjoyed helping people with know-how and my compulsion to inform and help people kicked in and that’s that. The world of Blogging infected me.

I’ve worked for other blogs over the last few years and for reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture, I’ve decided to bring BruSimm.com to life!

As far as what I like, I really enjoy Stargate, Highlander and the Star Trek franchises and most movies that bring my favorite comic book heroes to life. Movies like Batman & Iron Man plus my role models Godzilla and Predator! I’m also a Due South fan and my heart is smitten with Joss Whedon’s Firefly and the subsequent Serenity movie and pretty much anything Joss puts out.

About Stuff on Brusimm

They Call Me Bruce

First off, I call ‘em as I see ‘em. I use the domains Cinema Static.org & NASCAR-Bits-and-Pieces.com to point to those subjects (categories) here on SoB.

Historically, I’ve been writing newsletters since the late 90’s and exploded into the world of blogging shortly thereafter. I tend to be terse in my delivery. But regardless of how I write it or how detailed it is, it’s all in the hopes of someone else possibly gaining some benefit from my opinion or experience or just generating some conversation.

Brusimm.com, is my “magazine” of sorts. I was running 5 blogs that I tried to keep up on a regular basis and I just blew a gasket. To be SEO efficient, you’re supposed to update consistently. I couldn’t do that across my 10 blogs. After a bit, I took my 15 blogs and broke the cardinal rule of SEO, and started hosting different subject matters in one spot! Technically, they say my 20 blogs will lose their foothold in traffic, blah blah blah. But having brought my 25 blogs under one roof and creating a magazine-like atmosphere offering different subjects to chat about, I’m having more fun now. And hopefully, you find more than what you came here for!

Now I hope you can kick it & join in on the conversation, because that’s what I’ve envisioned when I originally started my 30 blogs. I also hope you enjoy my oddball sense of humor in the meantime.

“Thank you kindly!”

Helping me out these days are some good people with similar likes and insights:

Tim Miller drops a note here and there when he sees something that seems interesting to him. He’s written about Caprica, Sanctuary but will break out with a piece if he has something to say. Tim’s Twitter account, if you’re interested, is at http://twitter.com/tlmiller.

Lisa Scott has contributed a bit to the site and I like her style. You can follow Lisa on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ljscott24.

If you would like some exposure and have something you’d like to write about and share with the world, or have an inside tip on a show you work on, or just want to send me a link, please feel free to inquire. Right now, it’s all pro-bono, though guilt shows up around year’s end and I tend to toss out some “thank you’s.” If you’re on-board when we take off, that will change, though I make no promises!

Drop me a note at Bruce4Brusimm, and that’s on gmail dot com.
