I’m a grumpy, sarcastic, pessimistic geek - and those
are my good qualities. But I’m not always that bad once you get to know
me….sometimes I’m worse.

MBP/Minimal Perfection Update

Posted at November 21, 2006 8:18 pm | In Personal | By Ben Woodruff

Tags: Apple/Mac, Media, Minimal Perfection, Research

Episode #2 of Minimal Perfection is up.
I think it came out better than EP #1, but we’re going to be working to improve it even more.
If you have any suggestions please please please send them to us.

The new MacBook Pro is awesome. I love it.
There are some things that I miss from Windows, but I probably just need to learn more about OS X.
If anyone has some tutorials that they used while switching from Windows to OS X (basic stuff, even like using the Finder effectively) send them over.
I’ll probably be stopping by the Apple store for some classes.

New MacBook Pro arrived via FedEx at 10:00AM today.
More details and pics to come, but Jordan and I just finished recording Minimal Perfection #2 (more details on that to come also).

I’m so damn excited. I haven’t experienced any of the problems other users have reported.
Right now I’m pretty tired though, and I’m going to bed.

8 way Halo LAN partys FTW!

We have them like 2x a year.

LAN parties are amazing. One word: Counter-Strike (ok that’s 2 words).

BTW, Halo isn’t a LAN party. It’s not PC gaming.

What is perfection?

Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n’y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n’y a plus rien à retrancher.

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Translated: It seems that perfection is attained not when there remains nothing to add, but when there remains nothing to remove

Thanks Wikipedia.

Minimalism at it’s best.

Economics…

Posted at 11:32 am | In School | By Ben Woodruff

Last night I was at Maxwell’s from 4:30 - 11:45 (7 hours and 15 minutes for the math impaired) filming a video for Economics class. And I still haven’t even started editing it.

I have this very strange problem with Sony Vegas every time we film a movie with his camera. I can copy+paste the AVI files off his camera, and play them in any of the numerous players that I have installed. I can even edit it in Windows Movie Maker. But whenever I import it into Vegas I lose the video (last time we did this I think we lost the audio).

I remember last time we solved that by downloading something from Sony’s website, but I have no idea what it was, or where on Sony’s site to get it. If anyone has some suggestions… IM me.

We better get an A+, Mr. Bellis. -_-
