Where’s My Flying Car??
As I’m sure you’re aware, I’ve oft wondered aloud (thanks to reminders from Jen) where my flying car / jetpack / 2-way wrist radio is… Well, I’ve just found out where all the cool stuff has got to:

For Sale & DVD Collection
I’ve added two new bits to the site. The first, you’ll see in the bar to the right, a new section entitled “For Sale,” which will include links to items I have for same on Amazon Marketplace, Half.com or eBay. The second is also on the right under “Navigation” a new link to my DVD collection, which will be updated with some better navigation shortly. I’ve exported the current pages out of DVDpedia, which I now use to keep track of my collection. If you run Mac OS X and have a large movie collection, I’d encourage you to check it out.

MPEG-2 Encoder Shootout
A great article the Evil Schmoo shared with me a few weeks ago, comparing different MPEG-2 encoders. I’ve been using BitVice, which came up #3 in the ranking, but I may have to get a PC and check into the winner, Cinema Craft Encoder, if I start getting more DVD work. It looks like it’s the shit.

Traditional Costume
So, this is the traditional costume of These united States of America? I suppose it is vaguely reminiscent of certain Native American garb, but I think a little bit of “Vegas Showgirl” has crept in there as well.
Update
I’m now linking to the image directly. The original caption read:Shandi Finnessey, Miss USA during her presentation with traditional costume, at the Miss Universe Pageant in Quito, Ecuador, Tuesday, May 25, 2004. (AP Photo/Dolores Ochoa)

Weather Man
Warning
This DVD offer is no longer valid — Ed. 2015-08-12
Well, finally! Lookit-Intense Films is finally offering its first DVD available to the public, Weather Man, by The Fuzz. This film won the DC 48 Hour Film Project last year, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. Now, you too can have your very own shiny disc, playable in your set-top DVD player or computer of choice. Enjoy!
