Moving

The fun part is going to be moving it from point A to point B next weekend. Durrrr…

I think it’s good for people who shoot short form video and are Flickr users, but it might not be your cup of tea. I’ve embedded two example videos below.

The first is the Eee PC by ASUS.

This one is simply stirring some sugar in some iced tea. I love this one. I shot two more similar ones but this was my favorite of the two

I’ve settled on Disqus as the default commenting system here. Feel free to play around with it. I’m pretty happy with both the speed and the presentation.

This was just part of my joy today. All 14,000+ spammy blog comments have been purged and I’ve enlisted the help of Akismet & ReCaptcha to help from here on out. I know it’s a pain in the ass if you want to chime in, but so is delving through the myriad of shit that’s ended up on here.

I’m likely to drop in Disqus in the coming weeks as soon as I upgrade WordPress to the latest build and throw a new theme on.

The HD gallery shot with Canon HV20s & 30s is a joy to go through. Even the bad stuff at least LOOKS good. Unfortunately Vimeo hasn’t seemed to get over the hump of letting folks watch the HD version in embeds, so be sure to check out the original to get the full effect.

I find most of them unfulfilling and useless, but after entering cubicle land, I’ve come to find they’re absolutely a necessary part of getting through the work day. These upcoming Halo action figures from Todd McFarlane simply look awesome. I’ve always been a fan of McFarlane’s, mostly since he seemed like the first one to offer cool looking action figures, the kind you’d have to import from Japan, and make them mass market.

I’m really looking forward to these, and they’re probably not going to be all that plentiful, or cheap. The other bummer is some of the exclusivity clauses make Wal-Mart the sole providers for several of the action figures, along with “specialty stores” which pretty much means big gaming conglomerates like GameStop and EB Games. For some reason they’re also not coming out until 2008. God only knows why it takes that long to mold that much plastic.

You can find more shots of the figures at Spawn.com’s Halo 3 page.

I am a big fan of this summerboard theme called PlainJane. It’s so simple and beautiful. It may be cutting my battery life down by like an hour a day, but it’s totally worth it just for its contrastacular style.

If you have an iPhone and haven’t hacked it yet you’re totally missing out. It’s a ton of fun to play with, at least until the SDK comes out in February.

I got this router yesterday to replace my newly dead 4-port router. Much to my chagrin it was pretty tough to find a normal router without getting the wireless antenna as part of the deal. I suppose if I had had the time to go online and hunt it would have been easy, but sometimes you just have to go to a real store and pony up the cash.

This was the cheapest, and most full featured router they had at Circuit City. I absolutely hate shopping there, but it’s slightly better than Best Buy (not EVERYTHING is locked down). It’s also got my workplace’s stamp of approval so I pulled the trigger. Little did I realize when I bought it that it would also double as a laser light show of sorts. In the dark my living room now looks like a Christmas display.

Sorry about the video being grainy, but it’s off my digital camera.
