Before work today, I have managed to edit the movie together and get the soundtrack working. Now I just need to master the art of DVD Menus. I am not entirely 100% happy with Pinnacle Studio 8.8. The instructions are pretty pathetic and I am having to scrounge the help files just to try and figure out how to create top level menus. I managed…
January 18, 2004Well I have missed a few days updating. I think an entry a day is a pretty tall order, especially with work, and those days (like yesterday) when you come home from work and just go to bed. The good thing is that it re-engergizes me for my day off today. I managed to make it over to Best Buy to pick up the Pinnacle…
January 15, 2004CBS has announced the Survivors for their All Stars edition that will begin airing after the Superbowl. Some of the interesting notes: Now there are three tribes instead of two – prolly because there are 18 survivors instead of 16. I also noticed that the first two survivors have the most returnees. The original has 4: Rudy, Sue (still my fav), Richard, and Jenna. Australia…
January 12, 2004Gave a first try with some of the DVD software that came with the drive. I managed to create a good rough draft of a title sequence and it has given me some good ideas for when I actually get to digitize the video. There is a new season of Ab Fab on Oxygene. I’m a bit disappointed that they bleep things out, but glad…
January 11, 2004I was out and about looking for a solution. I have all of these records that I would like to transfer to MP3 and to CD. So I was looking at record players and plugs that I can hook up to my computer to digitize the audio. As I was wandering the aisles of Fry’s, I noticed that the new capture cards geared for people…
January 10, 2004It has been a pretty low-key week and a half of the new year. I rung in New Year’s Eve at home. It was the first time in a few years that I really did nothing. It felt kind of nice but at the same time I also felt like I really need to get out more. This week, the off-season returned to the park…
January 9, 2004One of my New Year’s resolutions is complete. I made it out to see this movie on a nice Saturday afternoon. LOTR is an epic masterpiece covering three movies: The Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King. I have to say that along with everyone else, my interest has increased with each successive movie. I think the series works best when…
January 4, 2004Had a few people over tonight to exchange gifts and generally toast in the new year. We all took a picture together and my gift to them was to get them whatever Cafe Press item they wanted with the picture on it. The evening got off to a crash when David, ever so excited, bumped into my brand new Martini set (Taken out of the…
December 31, 2003Been working like crazy out at the park this week. Its that heart warming time of year when s lot people come out each day to the park. In the middle of it all, celebrities have been dropping into the Many Adventures like an old 70’s variety show. In the past week, Hugh Heffner and some bunnies, Cindy Crawford, and Melissa Joan Hart have all…
December 29, 2003The traffic to the Gorn site is slowly returning to normal as people move on to other cool sites of the day. The page is still drawing about 3 times as many hits as before and hopefully the people will decide to explore other areas of the site. When I was checking the stats for the site, I discovered that the Charo Discography page was…
