With Instant Handbrake I'm able to convert my DVDs to iPod (.mp4), so now I have To This End Was I Born, Mountain of the Lord, and Fan Chan (à¹à¸Ÿà¸™à¸‰à¸±à¸™, a Thai movie) on my iPod. In addition, the Internet Archive has 710 public domain feature films ...
This is in response to Joni's post. When an obsessive blogger's comment gets rather long, he instinctively recognizes the opportunity for a free blog post. ;) The "as Liz says" parts refer to Liz's comment.
Methinks that the offense comes from mistaking the portrayal of evil to ...
Wendy wrote in about something that's been on my mind for the past few weeks: book ratings. There are plenty of good books out there, but there are also many with foul language, explicit sexual content, and/or gratuitous violence. What's a bookworm to do?

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.â€
Thus begins Pride and Prejudice. Today I completed the marathon that few men dare to attempt: the almost-six-hour-long A&E version of Pride and Prejudice (on two DVDs).

In our C.S.

(It's one of the things Plato discusses to stimulate discussion, along with a government-regulated breeding program and other controversial ideas.) And I realized ...
Just got back from watching BYU's production of Arsenic and Old Lace. Throughout the first half, I noticed that my laughs felt hollow, like they were just on the surface and there was nothing behind them. I could tell that it wasn't necessarily because the humor wasn't funny, ...
I watched God's Army again last night, for the second time (the first was shortly after it came out, I think). Not States of Grace, mind you -- I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD. :) Anyway, God's Army was...well, I'm not quite sure what I ...
My iOscars idea has come and I've started making the storyboard. It'll be "animated" in Illustrator (in a slide-show style) and here's one of the frames:
It only took ten or so minutes to come up with ten frames, ...
So I registered for BYU's iOscars. I have a camcorder, Photoshop & Illustrator, and iMovie, so all I need now is an idea. And I've got ten days to do it. My inclination would be to make it semi-animated (using iMovie transitions of Illustrator images), but ...
