Kim has a Kodak camera that makes movies in MOV format, with no option to save as AVI. We need AVI format video to use in Windows Movie Maker, because it WMM doesn’t like MOV (which is the default format of Apple’s Quicktime). So, after struggling with various converters that didn’t really work, I found (or re-discovered… I had used it before) MP4cam2AVI. It is free, as in Free Open Source, download from Sourceforge.

Awesomely hilarious fighting giant robot inspired video from Nobody Beats the Drum (Dutch breakbeat)

I can’t believe it!
My son gave me World of Warcraft for Christmas with a free month. Everybody says the game is addictive etc, but I figure OK, I like this kind of game, I’ll try it out for a month or two. I install it before dinner and in installed fine. After dinner, I create a WoW account and start the game and sign in. It wants to install a patch. OK, I wait for the download, tens of megabytes, and install the patch. And it wants another. And another. Probably over 100 megabytes of downloaded patches. I joke “World of Patchcraft” (which I discover I’m not the first one to call it that). Am I done? Not even close. Now it is downloading a 2.6 GIGAbyte patch. Good lord. This is so worse that installing Windows. It is going download all night. It says “about 11 hours” now. Good lord.

How many of these have you seen?

Seeing a “Geek Movies” list on Facebook inspired me to make this list of movies. I’d say its my geek list of movies. Not the best movies ever made. Not the best science fiction either. Not even a list of all the movies I’ve seen or plan on seeing. Some I don’t even like. Just that I think they in some way have Geek Cachet. Let’s just call it a Geek List of Movies.

I dug up this MP3 of “GEB” that I did a while ago. Mid tempo Electronic tune. Typically bleapy. Neat use of sliding EQ near the begining (If I can be immodest enough to use the word neat describing my own work). I’m pretty sure this was done 100% in Jeskola Buzz. Weird slow-mo dream sequence near the end. I’d like your opinions.
