  • Where I’m at, where I’m going.

    Last night went rather well, all things considered. I’m quite pleased. I came in this morning and there was no lynch mob outside my door… that’s always a good sign.

    Today? I’m rebuilding Yet Another Promotions Computer, this time the scannerbox. I was hoping to just repair Photoshop, but it just didn’t go as planned, so once again it’s start from scratch. Ah well, it’s what they pay me for, isn’t it?

    I’m having problems with display corruption on Ryoko with the Mozilla browser. Maybe it’s the nVidia drivers, maybe it’s X, maybe it’s Mozilla, maybe it’s XScreensaver. We’ll find out, won’t we?

    Oh, and I think I have nearly every Cowboy Bebop mp3 available anywhere. Yay! Lots of good listening… though also lots of weird listening.

  • AMV.org

    One of the hobbies I’m more-or-less involved in right now is the viewing, reviewing and creation of Anime Music Videos, or AMVs. I’m a member of the animemusicvideos.org website, although certainly not the most active or elite member.

    So what’s this I’m rambling about? Well, you take some Japanese animation footage, preferably from DVD. Take a song from CD. Get some sort of video editing software. Spend weeks of your life cutting, previewing, tinkering, cussing and fussing. At the end, you have a hand-crafted music video the likes of which MTV has never seen.

    It’s cool, dammit. Check it out.
