dont stop
Well we've had a pretty amazing weekend here in cowtown usa. Saturday my room mate, Jon, told me he was off to the skatepark and then it happened, I got that idea thing goin. Skate Park, ya know i've never been to one in ohio, hell I'll go. I grabbed my low quality dan arsenal of crap and headed out. Hiptop'd the world on Worthington's small but usable skate park facilities and broke out the Kodak Mc3 for video capture.
It was really cool actually. I managed to get a few of the guys there break out some special moves on film. Ya never know how people take the lurking camera man hanging out. Jon's used to my fetish with the camera and anything else techie orientated, but for some folks, it takes getting used to. Sure enough, they didn't mind and away I go.
The Kodak Mc3 movies came out pretty good considering the ultra small 15fps type shots it takes. After I got home I slapped the compact flash card into the Compaq TC1000 tablet and downloaded the tryout of Adobe Premiere Pro. I hadn't really edited anything on the tablet before. Strictly in pen mode i wondered how hard it would be.
The tablet did pose some problems but I conqured and in a few short hours DON'T STOP was complete. (takes a bit to download btw..) Music provided by Overseer, the Animatrix edit. Editing by you know who.. and would I edit again on the tablet? Sure. It was kinda cool really editing there on the couch watching tv.
And for those of you who missed the other pics I took with the hiptop, they are >>> here.
Saturday wrapped up with a bacon and eggs with Safari Dave. About once a week Dave and I get togther and just talk. The topic varies from "what great one liners can you drop just when the waitress arrives to get a reaction" to "women" to "film ideas" to "whatever else.... life etc". I really look forward to eggs. We call it simply eggs. All we want are eggs really. All you need is eggs. They may have WOMD, but we got eggs. Dave and the new Jeep are one. He's quite the chick magnet now.. muahahaha.. I knew that was his plan all along.
Sunday burst on the scene with a trip to Best Buy. Course what I really wanted I forgot to look for. I did look at LCD's and as usual, getting something that actually knows what they are selling is.. well.. typical. Lost in a sea of "ya it should do that.. um..." and I just go thanks and move on.
I returned home with no LCD panel or wifi detector but with one cd, and an older ps2 game: World Rally Championship. It doesn't beat Rally on the xbox. World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars though, a game I picked up the other day.. Sprint Car's, now that is pretty cool actually. I never thought I'd get into just driving a tight little circle track continously sliding but I do.. I like it alot. Actually I've been consuming car games on the PS2 lately, Italian Job, Midnight Club 2.. which I highly reccomend, especially with the cheat codes! And yo normal, its out on the xbox as well.
Mid-day Sunday I broke out the Many Moe and Jack action on the Grand Prix. Yep, waxed it. Can you believe it, actually waxed it. Amazing. I don't know what came over me really, it was alot of work. She sure is shiny now though.
While waxing I watched Gangs of Newyork, it was... long. I dunno, didnt get much out of it. To round off the day I made strong limeade.. ya its strong. Like needs 2 more cans of water but noo, you ain't gettin it. I want it strong. Just remember kids, dont stop!
