Funny quote of the day

From the handbrake 0.9.0 release FAQ:

"We don't have the willpower for feature freezes. We're like small children following shiny, bouncing, bright-colored balls. "

For those unfamiliar, "HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 converter, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows."

Cheers to the authors, it's a badass app. I especially love using it in OSX, although it is exciting that they seem to have worked in a GUI for windows users now.

Ramdom Thoughts Podcast Show #68 out


The Ramdom Thoughts Podcast never fails to amaze me. I listen to the podcasts on my ipod daily, with a few especially close to my heart.

Scott, the producer of the podcast even goes so far as to post download links to each song featured on the show right on the show notes blog. I've taken the initiative to download each one of these mashups to my hard drive. I then loaded all these songs into my iTunes install in a playlist called Ramdom Individual. I almost always just leave this playlist of about 139 songs on a continuous loop. It's just that great!

Scott, I wish you the best with the show. It's absolutely incredible.

Just got back from a whirlwind trip through europe on the Disney Cruise Lines. Was absolutely awesome!

Album up here. I still need to organize it. FYI, there are a bunch of pictures with this stick figure thing. That's a Flat Stanley, being held up by another member of the group. Ignore, it's creepy :)
