I've really been off my game this week. That's the third clever piece of writing that totally sailed past me since Monday :(

what was the second?

Today I got my first kiss.

EDIT: And my first job. (One was obviously more important than the other.)

Planning on sleeping your way to the top, eh? Makes a change to see a man doing it. ;)

Feeling devoid of life; have for a while now. Feel tired, always.

Disregard, got good news.

That was very quick. Well, good for you that something came along just when you really needed it. :)

4k is complete overkill for anything except movie theaters (which is why it even exists).  I read an article on Cnet where someone did the math, and you have to be 5 feet away from a 55" TV for your eyes to resolve past 1080p.

Where is said article? I am interested in this.

Here's the article. It's quite a leap going from overkill-for-tvs to overkill-for-all-but-cinemas, but 4K is definitely not a feature that should make you choose one display over another despite all other features.

EDIT: If you're like me and you have an immense distrust of everything from Cnet this is a better explanation of the biological limits to our eyesight.

Bookmarked both, thanks much.

Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Just a few months after buying a 3DS, I just saw an ad for the *new* 3DS (actual name).  And its.... actually significantly improved.  Face-tracking 3d (you can look at it off-center), and a second control stick, among the other typical minor spec upgrades for a new device.  It didn't look like they shaped it into something less horrifically uncomfortable though, which is my #1 complaint with the 3ds.

We're probably more in the 12-inch range, but it's still significant.  Wound up having the school close today (even though we probably could have snuck the day in), but we'll definitely be off tomorrow.  Yay for having more grading time!

Looked back at Disney's Fantasia for the first time since I was six. It's still rubbish.

I find it hard to believe Walt Disney of all people was behind it. As a six-year-old, it's like being tortured to death. You sit through an hour of classical-music screensavers, get a token prize in the form of a mediocre Mickey Mouse cartoon, then sit through another hour of screensavers, by which time most of the kids in the room will have died of boredom. Then, just in case any of them survived, the film tries to finish them off by heart attack from
CHERNOBOG


Okay, more than a decade later I admit the last section was pretty impressive. But who's bright idea was it to put to put Mickey Mouse and CHERNOBOG in the same film?

Sir we shall have words over this.  Fantasia is probably the most amazing project Disney ever produced.

Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Big news in my life...

I've decided to move on from my studio. I'm just ready for a change.. mostly a change that involves not running a business with other employees. Besides, the other guys are ready to move on as well and one is planning on moving entirely! So yeah, I'm winding down production work over the next few months.

Instead I'll be switching to a freelance style job. Still production, but also including some web-dev.

It's a substantial change, but I'm looking forward to it because then I can pick projects based on my availability and not based on needing to pay for business space or employees. :) That means I'll have more time to spend with my kids and any of my hobby projects, including HLP!

I ran a small video production house. Mostly did projects for colleges and other smaller community groups.
