Walk, chew gum

McCain had taken a gamble with the move, trying to appear above politics and as a leader on an issue that had overshadowed the presidential campaign and given him trouble. But Democratic rival Barack Obama had not bowed to McCain’s challenge, and instead questioned why the Republican nominee couldn’t handle two things at once — the debate and involvement in the bailout negotiations.

I chose my operating system partially because of the way it handles multiple tasks. Would it be too much to ask if my presidential hopefuls met the same minimum standard?

The debate is on; McCain agrees to participate

Cine 124 DVD finished! (with lame excuses attached)

I was in charge of making the DVD that had my Spring class’s movies on it. I started work on it in June and it’s August, and I just bothered to dig it out of the bottom of the pile of stuff on my desk.

I gave up just used Toast to finish it. I actually have a DVD Studio Pro version of it half-finished, but that’s exactly it: it’s half-finished. If you want something done quickly, use Toast. If you want it to look cool, cancel all your social events for the next two weeks.

Mental note: Stop volunteering for DVD authoring jobs if you don’t actually find them fun to do.

Movie break

Watching Roman Holiday at Union Square.

[EDIT: It's in the wrong aspect ratio. (But can't I just enjoy a movie without thinking about this sort of thing?)]

The Manuscript is back!

By popular demand (and I mean because Colin asked where it was), the 2005 National Film Challenge entry “The Manuscript” is back online. Go watch what happens when you only have 2 hours to write the script:

Too much spare time on my hands.

Map to the site

Here’s what’s on the site so far:

An about page. Which doesn’t really have anything on it.

Four short movies and a demo reel, detailing either movies I’ve made or am about to make.

Photos (the best-ofs are on Flickr, the latest is on my MobileMe gallery.)

Explore and enjoy.

I think I just completely hosed this thing

Hi everyone. I tried to do an automated update of WordPress to version 2.6 and it didn’t work. So I tried to do a manual update including a backup and, well, it didn’t restore at all. So, um, yeah, the old blog’s gone.

On the upside, now would be a good time to test a new backup routine. Check back in a couple days when I’ve more or less recreated the site.
