Zombie Lurch Video (Part 1)

Well, I did learn that when digitizing video, do not create a file over 2 gigs in size, since that won’t import into iMovie (at least the version I have installed!)

Anyway, after much importing and compressing (and a little editing) we have the first video from the Madison Zombie Lurch 2005, which I last mentioned days ago

Zombies!

I’ll get more footage online next week, and I’ll try to get it loaded at Ourmedia as well as at blip.tv

XAMPP is your (Apache) Friend!

I remember hearing about XAMPP a while back, but since I finally decided to do something about the old Fedora box at home with Apache, and an old MySQL, and no PHP, etc… I figured I’d give The Apache Friends’ XAMPP a try…

Can I say wow? After downloading, the install consisted of expanding the tarball into /opt, and then starting it up. So within minutes you’ve got Apache (with SSL!) MySQL, PHP, Perl, and other stuff that all works together!

Damn that’s cool… Thanks Apache Friends!

Zombie Roundup

It started like any other day in Madison… until…

“What do we want?”
“Brains!”
“When do we want them?”
“Brains!”

As I mentioned in Shooting Zombies, I went to Madison, I saw the Zombies, they ate my brain… I’ve got a few photos on Flickr which aren’t that good, but that’s because I was also holding a video camera while trying to take pictures… (Video will be up soon.)

Zombies are everywhere:

I’ll add to this entry if I find more good links. I’m hoping to have some video online this week, it’ll be over at tinkernet. (I’ve got over 40 minutes to edit!)

Design Pains

Oh poor design (and usability) how you taunt me!

I keep finding that there are certain sites that I’d like to use, or sometimes have to use, but it just pains me to do so because the design is so bad! How bad? Sooooo bad! Often the usability is nowhere to be found either…

…and it hurts… Oh how it hurts!

Doomed to Repeat It

1997: Blogging? Writing is best left to journalists, You need professional writing skills, the average joe can’t write…

2004: Podcasting? You need a radio voice and broadcasting experience, the average joe can’t talk the talk…

2005: Videoblogging? TV studios and Hollywood do video, the average joe doesn’t have what it takes…

Newflash: The average joes can sometimes kick the the big boys to the curb…
