My Bio
Tyson is known as the first male 'supermodel.' We met Tyson at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005 after sneaking into Naomi Campbell's Birthday party where we had been told Nelson Mandela would be in attendance (it was a charity fundraiser thing...long story). Nelson wasn't there, but we did meet Tyson who later helped us sneak onto the after party on the yacht. Mr. Mandela wasn't there either. But Tyson is awesome.
Why are you supporting The 1 Second Film project?
I wish you guys all the best; I know your starting on the bottom, but I believe one day we will be seeing this on the top.

Tyson Beckford's Perfect Moment

If you had to choose a 'perfect moment' from your life to make into a one-second film, what would it be?

The birth of my son.

    This week, we finally got Varnish installed on our servers. Varnish helps our Drupal site performance by making better use of cache to serve up content (instead of the database), and will allow our site to handle a lot more anonymous visitors (hopefully!).

    We are still making other site improvements. The site is still pretty slow, and we also need to improve performance for logged in users. Basically, there is a lot of tech to do. We don't have the resources to do everything, but we want to make  sure we make the most of what we have.
