Film Gimp - Lights, Camera, Linux!: Cool… gimp and linux used all over the movie industry. Most intresting tidbit is this:
Some years ago I built an automatic television news monitoring system for DARPA that used a PC to record CNN-TV off the air. My PVR was before TiVo, but for the military. It did natural language parsing on the closed-captioning and would notify military analysts as soon as any story on a relevant topic aired. It also deleted off-topic stories to conserve storage. I’m developing a similar approach to prioritize and cull email.
I need one of these for my warroom.

When Sept. 11 happened I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know as much as I could find out. So a quick trip to K-Mart after my birthday dinner at Chillies got me a cable amp and some extra 75 Ohm cables and I set up this:
I was underwhelmed at how much real information we were getting especially after they stopped doing all news on BBC America and stopped the Canadian news on the shopping network channels. When/If I get my office setup in the garage apt. I hope to set this up again, but this time with full time feeds from BBC and Al-Jazeera. I also have some more TV’s.

While pitching a chair from the back of a pickup truck I lost my balance and fell backwards. Using my ninja skills I prevented a head injury with my arm and got a Radial Head Fracture for my trouble. I didn’t even know it was broken until about 2 hours later when I started wondering why my arm was still hurting and went looking on the net for answers (after I couldn’t get Jason on the phone).
Typing w/ one hand sucks so tata4now.
