First Flickr Video – Aidan Swinging

Jay — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:15:35 +0000

A friend recently hooked me up with a Flickr Pro account, a gift that I will ultimately pay forward by purchasing a Pro account for another friend on Flickr.

Anyway, Flickr Pro status allows you to upload videos in addition to pictures. Here is my first Flickr video test: Aidan swinging in the backyard this past weekend.

Radiohead’s House of Cards Video

From the description:

In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.

Be sure to check out the interactive manipulator hosted at Google.

Also, here is a behind the scenes video if you’d like to learn more.

NicePlayer Finally Updated

Jay — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:02:35 +0000

There there blog, I know I’ve neglected you. I’ve been super busy and … yes, yes ok I know excuses won’t cut it here. You’re pissed. I’m sorry.

Here is a peace offering instead: My favorite (and default) video player for OS X, NicePlayer, has finally been updated in the form of a preview build. This preview includes the return of remote control support, something which has been broken since 10.5 originally came out. Yes, that is quite a long time now and yes, I did wonder up until the moment I found this preview build if the application was dead in the water.

Enjoy!

As a lot of you know, recently our car has been the source of rage on a level that usually flattens cities.

Perhaps I will get a warthog for my next vehicle…
