I wanted to try out the soundtrack function on Garageband so I grabbed a very low quality video I had taken with my Vivicam 3765. This is also an excuse for me to figure out how to post a Quicktime movie. Yes, it’s of the cat. I promise, unless there are extreme circumstances, I will …
Thanks to Neil Gaiman for posting this on his blog. While this YouTube video is pretty good quality, I would also suggest you check out Marcondes’ website for a greater quality version as well as other short films. I had never heard of him before today, but hope to see much more of his incredible …

Flight Thoughts (3/15/07) We are currently flying over the Pacific Ocean–though this will, of course, be posted when we get to the hotel–I’m listening to Blow Up Hollywood’s album fake with my relatively new earphones, a pair of Ultimate Ears super .fi 3 Studio’s.
