Now if you aren't moved by that I don't know what to say...

Steven Anderson is a Pastor of a church in Tempe, AZ called Faithful Word Bible Church

Don't expect anything contemporary or liberal. We are an old-fashioned, independent, fundamental, King James Bible only, separated Baptist church and not ashamed to say so.

Doesn't he look like Jack from Lost?



Well there you have it...

Who ever said that Al Gore invented the Internet? Wikipedia knows all (so says Austin), and wikipedia says that Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet.

Wikipedia saves the day.

And he is still alive...(not that the Internet is that old)

I wonder what it feels like to have invented the Internet?

It is official. I have been accepted to Belmont University in Nashville, TN.

The Super Bowl, hosted in my backyard*, has come and passed. I hear it was a pretty historic game, but I could care less. I care less because some other cool things were going on behind-the-scenes. Yes, the Super Bowl was a nerd fest.

I came across some articles talking about the technology being used in this Super Bowl, and let me tell you it is super (no pun intended).

Some 45 “radio cops” will be suiting up for Super Bowl XLII, to organize the use of some 10,000 wireless devices.

Some $3.3 million in cameras will be used including two dozen Sony HDC-1500 cameras ($90,000 each) and four Sony HDC-3300 super slow-motion HD camera systems ($270,000 each).

“At a regular season game, we coordinate 400-500 frequencies,” Voss says. “But at the Super Bowl, that goes up to 2,000 frequencies, and over 10,000 RF devices.”

I am amazed at the complexity, and magnitude of putting an event on like this is. Too bad it is for something as trivial as American Football. No one's going to heaven by going to a football game. Regardless of that, I would still enjoy being part of something like this anytime...

The End.

After seeing this video on how BBC re-created D-Day with a couple of guys, and some intense compositing work, it has spiked my curiosity for learning some different compositing techniques.

Now, I don't know what these guys used to create the end effect, but I do know that Adobe After Effects is a pretty popular program for this kind of stuff. So, I came across this site that offers some pretty good free tutorials that show you how to do some pretty cool stuff for video. That site is Video Copilot.

Now if you are as nerdy as I am about video you might enjoy it. If not then it's your loss.

The End.

According to this article the writers strike is over.

Writers' Strike Eisner - Media * US * News * Story - CNBC.com

However, it seems to based on the inevitability of acceptance by the writers.

This is a good sign.
