  • Open Source/Free Software Video Editing Software?

    Can someone help me out here? I’d like to import video from my camera (firewire) as either DV or run through my favorite codec, and write it to disk. I would then like to be able to crop, cut, and paste certain frames from the whole movie and store them as “clips” or some similar…

  • Tao 2.0 in the wild

    Congrats to David, Vlad, Randy and the rest of the Tao folks! David has recently contributed a number of patches that provide an autotools build environment for Tao. Not only that, but it now builds on mingw (or so rumor has it). This greatly increases the Tao library’s accessibility, and I predict that it will…

  • I’m at OSCON

    I’m making videos. https://colliertech.com/oscon2006/ I need to learn how to compress some of these iMovies snippets into something consumable by the general public via “podcasting” software.

  • Amazon starts its own toy store

    So… a couple of years ago, when I first worked at Amazon, we had been working with a certain toy company to help them get their products online. Something didn’t work out, so now Amazon has its own online toy store! See the press release for more details. Well done, folks! Keep up the good…

  • Did anybody else catch the recent supreme court ruling?

    The president of the U.S.A. has been found guilty of breaking international law by the supreme court. But the whitehouse has been jumping on any reputable news sources that mention it. So here I am. Nobody takes me seriously anyway. Mr. Bush and perhaps his cronies are officially criminals. Will anything come of it? I…

  • Everett Wireless Network update

    I’ve been wandering around Everett today with Scarlet. We went to the County building, the City building and the Everett PD to discuss IT-related things.
