Around the blogs 7/5/07
Posted by Burgess
Last night, Myg, Esteban, and I caught a ride in a Caddy with a ghost driver. I tried to take a pic of it not being there, but my camera wouldn’t even move the frame that far over. Talk about supernatural power. M and E weren’t bothered by it at all, but you can tell by the look on my face I was a little freaked. I calmed myself during the spectral excursion by thinking about all the cool stuff I’d read about in the blogosphere this week.
The enthusiasm and talent of Wrath and Jellybean for machinima is infectious. Though you probably won’t see anything directly from me too soon, I have been reading up on it. In addition to the tutorial Tiana posted, Aenea (director of “A Public Affair,” one of the best music video machinimi I’ve seen) has written one specifically for Mac OS X (hurrah!) dealing with running and external frame capture program like Fraps (Windows only, Mac users must use Boot Camp to run it) or SnapzPro. I’m hoping that using one of these may lessen some of the jerkiness you see in most machinima (take note, Windows people, this could help you too).
For my fellow WordPress junkies out there, if you like to tweak things you should be reading WebBlog Tools Collection, where you can find the latest theme and plugin releases.
If you’re worried about your blog addiction, well, just think of me as your enabler. Have another, there’s no use fighting it.
WordPress? What’s that?
Burgess, are you an enabler or a co-dependant? Hugs either way.
Hmmm, Seraphine, I think even a cursory inventory of my traits would reveal me as addict, co-dependant, and enabler all wrapped up into one fiendishly attractive package.
/me seconds that
Is that a raised Mustang in the background?
Oh, it is indeed, Tober. Unfortunately, though we could get the engines to start (wages of a well-spent youth), we couldn’t actually take any of the cars out for a spin.
Fiendishly attractive? Yeah!
