Yeah, just drag the screen and shit happens.

If you do video for a living then the stuff that Adobe may (or may not) be working on may (or may not) make a lot of the things you do daily like tracking, rotoscoping and other painful crap a lot less painful(or may not).

Anyway, watch the video.



Interactive Video Object Manipulation from Dan Goldman on Vimeo.

Yeah, told you so...

We got our Avids about 3 years ago. Last week we replaced 2 of those with BTTW Final Cut Studio systems. Yeah, the same thing I suggested to the powers that be 3 years ago.

So here's the first thing I've done in HD on Final Cut Pro.

I am addicted...

Vimeo seems to be fulfilling all of the promise that YoutTube pissed away.


Something sparkly is in your future from Ian Cameron on Vimeo.

I like big bass and I cannot lie...

I've always wondered how to build a room-sized sub-woofer.

Now I know.

So, I was looking on the internet for a new car...

Internetting I found Green Vehicles.

My fave thing is that the Moose looks just like an old Astro Van!

If you're like me (and of course, you are) you grew up with radio. Before corporate radio I used to love listening to all of the different kinds of music I could find on the FM dial. With just a quarter turn of the dial you could go from listening to Asleep at the Wheel to Rachmaninoff.

Those days of course are gone.

But I still get the same experience from internet radio... at least for now.

To make the story short, internet radio's royalty costs have been raised between 300 to 1200%. These outrageous rates will kill internet radio.

But there is hope...

The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL ) to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your congressperson to ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 2060

So please head over to Savenetradio.org and join the fight to keep internet radio alive.

Moleskine Hard Drive Geekery

After becoming infactuated with my Moleskine a couple of months back I've searched for others who share the same illness.

My latest find is an entry on the zonageek: blog.

Imagine my joy... no, my utter elation at finding instructions on how to build The Geekster Moleskine, a portable hard drive encased in a Moleskine! Oh my, this is the perfect marriage of tech and that big word I used a few posts back!

All I need is that Moleskine hard drive and a Steampunk Keyboard and I'll be set.

I swear.
