More Tinsel

Attracted by the shiny stuff, I am. This is very addictive. A built-in camera, primitive though it may be, and a YouTube account. The very simplicity of this setup, using iMovieHD to add titles and export, is intriguing and challenging. Like playing a symphony on a kazoo, perhaps.

I’m also still playing around with formatting. Crooks & Liars uses a really small window for these YouTube Flash conversions, so the image is much sharper. I’m trying 350 x 288 pixels, a good whack off the default size, but maybe smaller is better. Opinions?

Certainly sharper. And there’s nothing wrong with small.

I just love the shot of peace and quiet at not feeding the consumption devil.

Hmmmmm, ha ha ha. . . .you know bubba, what goes around, comes around and your better half is going to end up posting something interesting about you if she gets her hands on your Mac. I’m waiting for the day, (after seeing past streamings) of you ranting and saying, “I want you to listen to me, LISTEN. . . .I want you to go to your window, open it and shout, I’M MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!!!!, something that should be said to your Mayor after two people killed on Kit Carson yesterday.

Getting mad doesn’t do any good at all. Frankly, I don’t think anything does!

As for the personal details, it’s life but also art. I don’t think she reads this either, but my mother does. :-)
