But I'm feeling much better now.Hurtling Through The Ethers
Just arrived at Noded South after a 1293.4 mile drive from Noded North. Took the allotted time of 21 hours. I will report more after I get my hand to unform to the exact dimension of the steering wheel.

VideoTilt Shifted Video
Vimeo has a much better vibe than YouTube so I spend a lot of time there. This video is a tilt-shifted time lapse of a day at the beach. The author obviously has take the time that I wish I had to record and develop this video. I don't know anything about tilt-shifted photography other than it is real images manipulated in a way that make the subject look like toys.

RantsI Tried To Watch The Debate.
It would have been interesting to see what the next President of the United States has to say about the issues but they kept having this annoying little old man who treats the voters of this country like children talking. This whole election process takes way to long. Two days, maybe a three day weekend should be all we need for electioneering. Time to vote.

Tech OverloadSlingbox Update
Quick update on the Slingbox I mentioned here. I've moved the slingbox out of the computer room and away from the router which meant I had to spring for the $80 Slingbox SlingLink. I now have the Slingbox next to the bedroom DVR cable box so I can record and play back shows at any time. The SlingLink does have on small gotcha in that it uses the power lines to pass the packets from the Slingbox and the router. You cannot use a power strip with any kind of build in line conditioning as it seems to filter out the Slingbox signal. I had to do some long none filtered extension cords because the wall power near the cable boxes were all taken with other stuff.
I've now got the Slingbox setup for remote connections. I was actually able to run it from IHOP Sunday morning using my Sprint EVDO USB modem. The image quality suffers some from the lower bandwidth of the cell modem being used from the middle of a building.

Questions With No AnswerOut Of Sight
On the way over to the golf course today I saw a guy putting Obama signs on a corner. I rolled down my window and spoke to the guy. This was the fifth time he was leaving the sign at the same corner. Someone is apparently stealing the signs. The question is wether someone is grabbing a souvenir or figuring that the can change the course of an election by disappearing the signs at a single corner.

Been enjoying the tutorials at PDSTUTS - Spoonfed Photoshop. Took a while to go thru this tutorial but I think it was worth it. I tend not to think in negative space. I'm always suprised by deleteing selections to create negative space.
