Today I was mucking around with an application called WinAVI Converter which was designed to re-encode video files for use on the PSP or iPod.  Nifty app.  I converted the first episode of the old HBO Spawn animated series and plan to watch it on the bus-ride home tonight.  Some folks have been excitedly using their PSP as a personal video machine ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been unemployed forever.  Yeah, sure - I worked for 11 months in 2004/2005, but my mind seems to have tossed that time period out and just stitched the two ends together making one continuous and long period of languid TV-watching/job hunting/interviewing ( Read more... )

Tonight is game night. More post-apocalyptic alien/zombie action. Good for a laugh. Should be writing the session right about now, but I can't get myself into the headspace ( Read more... )
