Check out three frames. It's a site full of animated GIFs, each of which uses frames from movies, but only three frames each.
And the results are amazing. Mesmerizing.
Note: the current first few pages are SFW, after the third (or fourth, not sure exactly - and I don't want to go back and look because I M @ W), there are some NSFW shots.
Just got tix for Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks. Yay!
Odd thing, though. They're playing the show at the Haw River Ballroom, in Saxapahaw NC. It's a little town, a bit west of Chapel Hill, bit south of Burlington, at the end of the Sellers Manufacturing Company Lake, and one I'd never heard of. It has a population of 1,418 (2000 census). So, that sounds like an odd place for a band like SM & the J's to play.
Here's what it looks like from space:
Rural!
Upon further consideration, I guess a place that's roughly halfway between Greensboro and Raleigh (the bigger central NC cities) isn't really a bad place for a show. And from the pix on their website, the ballroom actually looks like a cool place. It's the former "dye house" of the Saxapahaw cotton mill, right on the banks of the Haw river: "with three levels, a riverside deck, a concessions bar and coffee shop, a full service stage and sound system, gorgeous historic detail, solar and geothermal power and an idyllic rural setting..." So, cool. Plus, geothermal power!
Jicks!
Poor Mrs C... I keep buying her tickets to shows she won't like.
This is footage from a bunch of different cameras mounted on Atlantis during this last launch.
There's a really awesome bit starting at about 6:45. Definitely check it out.
The city council in Cedar Falls, Iowa has absolutely crossed the line. They voted 6-1 in favor of expanding the use of lock boxes on commercial property. Property owners would be forced to place the keys to their businesses in boxes outside their doors so that firefighters, in that one-in-a-million chance, would have easy access to get inside.

OK, apparently, this is already quite common, and not just in the US. Move along.
New theme!
This is the new WordPress default. I'm tweaking it a little bit, to "make it my own", dog. New pic, font changes, etc.. But it's a bit hard to restrain myself! I keep wanting to add things to it that will make it look like... the old theme. Habits.
Anyway, if you see anything horribly broken, let me know.

OK, still not used to this. Feels like I'm living in someone else's house. My last theme was a little dull, but at least I knew it was all mine.
Dear driver,
Yeah I didn't signal, but you clearly knew I wanted to merge. I could tell you knew because it was obvious that you were trying to close up the space in front of you to stop me from doing it. Nevertheless, I should've ignored your horn. There was no need for it to get all rude.
