So I'm up rendering video for this year's Christmas movie. I just finished the video cut and now I have to go back and start editing the sound.

Rendering takes awhile cause my workstation is two years old, and I applied a lot of video tweaks to the movie:

Now comes the awful period that will last until a month after I show this thing at the Christmas party. What I thought was funny has now, after repeated viewing, ceased to entertain me. Doubt creeps in. Will other people find it funny? Will people be offended? Worst, will other people think it's lame?

Okay, it's probably done. Onward to tedious sound design!

It's also an opportunity for more Flash Paper. I'm such a geek. A weird, weird geek.

This was an editorial that ran in the Independent Weekly, it primarily deals with why this guy doesn't like Bush.

I don't agree with everything this guys has to say but a couple phrases jumped out at me.

Check out With trembling fingers.

I've put up a page in my writing section to do so.

If it doesn't make it past the first round, I'll post the script.
