When I first tried that game at the arcades, I thought the objective was to get the guy killed because that's all I ever seem to have been able to do. And they were intricate deaths too.

Fwd: Photojojo - The Dreamy Diana Lens - http://photojojo.com/store... (via http://friendfeed.com/castill...)
dreikanter, Justin Korn, Andrew Smith and 6 other people liked this
So it's basically a less expensive, less extensible version of a Lensbaby?
- cecily
Um...I would not say that. With a lensbaby, you get a lot of distortion in the shot; this lens gives you something akin to what you see in a Holga shot, but with better colors and smoother focus.
- JA Castillo
Oh yeah, that's on my amazon wishlist. I'd love to play with that lens!
- tab thinks you're awesome
didnt like the test shots, if I would have to make a decision, I rather go with lensbaby.
- ilgaz erel
I don't see the two as similar; you don't buy an actual Diana camera to get a lensbaby effect and vice versa. If you are looking for a bit of a film-like and diffused effect, this may do it for you. Hoping this gets the attention of Mrs. Claus! :)
- JA Castillo
With a Lensbaby, you can control the level of distortion thanks to the aperture disks and the different optics. If you use the double plastic lens and a the f/11 - f/22 aperture disks for example, you get very little distortion at all, except at the edges. See: http://lensbaby.com/optic-c...
- cecily
The Lensbaby started out as a pretty one-dimensional item but they've been continuously adding so many different optics and accessories to the base product that they now cover a lot of the effects that getting a separate Holga/Diana/pinhole/fisheye etc. lens would give you. Making it much more versatile (at a cost obviously).

The Snow Queen is One of Disney's Next Hand-Drawn Films - http://www.firstshowing.net/2009...

"Back in February, we reported that Disney wants to release a new hand-drawn animated movie every two years. The Princess and the Frog is already out in theaters, with an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is set to expand nationwide this weekend. But what's next for Disney? We've heard rumblings of other projects in the works and, of course, the new Winnie the Pooh movie will be hand-drawn, but is there more? Brendon Connelly from SlashFilm got a small update on another new hand-drawn Disney project called The Snow Queen. It's apparently an old project that fell apart a few years back and has been dusted off again recently."

Seeing 20+ stories at the top of the feed that they may or may not talk about is a little spammy :-/

Ken: yeah true. but that way he can choose the interesting ones and not have to wait for them. :]

Leo: Perhaps you could start different thread for story ideas for the next show immediately after a show finishes.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken: that's a good idea.
- sunkenplanet
Choosing interesting stories during the show seems problematic... but then I'm not Leo :-)

Or maybe the MBW equivalent of http://friendfeed.com/twit-tw... would be handy
- Ken Sheppardson
has anybody suggested a wave, dedicated to this show, on Google wave? Of course not everybody has an account there but not everybody is on Friendfeed either. Just saying
- lelapin
They need to bump because the i7 iMac is so close to current Mac Pro
- Andrew Smith
Yes, lelapin... Leo's spent quite a bit of time in Wave, but the non-linear nature of it makes it pretty darn difficult to follow during a show, and as you point out it's not yet an open system.
- Ken Sheppardson
Is there a list out there of apps that take advantage of the cores?
- Andrew Smith
Any one hear that from now until Christmas Eve, Blacksmith Games' Appvent Calendar will be revealing a new game that can be downloaded for free each day http://appventcalendar.com/
- Michael Zamora
Adobe is starting to unload everything to the GPU so I wonder if CPU will be as relevant in the future. At least for apps I use.
- Andrew Smith
yay, you're back

Leo needs an awesome technical difficulties screen. Complete with the Spanish Flea song

Time for a four or five figure UPS purchase.
- Ken Sheppardson
they need UPS to handle 15 minutes of power off for all computers to enable shutdown
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Yep. Long enough for a graceful shutdown.
- Ken Sheppardson
and also install the monitor software with them so it powers itself down
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Actually, it'd be good to bridge maybe a 5-10 minute outage before you had to spin down.
- Ken Sheppardson
yes, at home I plan for 30 minutes - but I also only have 9 computers
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
What happened there??
- Roberto Bonini
Building power went down for <1 minute
- Ken Sheppardson
I literally leave the room for 5 minutes and look what happens. :P lol
- sunkenplanet
we get those outages here at home because the power company shifts from one set of tranformers to another for repair work
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
and we're baaaaaaaaaaack!
- John Brazel
Which reminds me... I've got some weird glitch with one of my UPS that every few weeks it cycles at 6:30AM. I need to replace that box...
- Ken Sheppardson
is it configured for a self test?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I don't think it's that smart. It's just a little APC budget box.
- Ken Sheppardson
yea, time for a swap
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I am soooo upset that the CrunchPad is DOA - I was going to buy one to support it

This made me laugh yesterday re: CrunchPad http://twitter.com/hotdogs...

The CrunchPad - a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I don't want a cheap tablet. I want a full-fledged computer.

When you come right down to it, very little of the appeal of MacBreak Weekly is the Apple content :-) Assuming that the audience is on iPods/Macs would be a pretty big mistake, IMHO

Call it "iLife Pumpkin" or something.

Apparently they realized there's no point in sending your video... because it's not of you, if you're looking at the other person's video.
- Ken Sheppardson
Leo went from THREE great picks last week to this. lol jk :D
- sunkenplanet
Yeah, well the improv'ed picks tend to be hit or miss.
- Ken Sheppardson
So on average, the pick this week is $1300? :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Thanks for doing it
- Andrew Smith
all I want is good wool socks

Um, isn't that much less of a Peter Jackson question, and much more a Tolkien question?
