John Udell has a great post on hi process editing screencasts.

This is a really great Final Fantasy Retrospective on GameTrailers. It’s only 3 episodes in to a 13 part series. Though I bought the most recent one I stopped playing halfway through. These games seem to not hold my interest if I can only play them a little at the time.

The Stars' new album, In Our Bedroom After the War, is up in advance on eMusic. I hope this is not just a marketing ploy and they just put the MP3s when they were done and the rest of the world has to wait simply because the CDs need to be pressed.

I really liked their last album, Set Yourself On Fire, as there was three or four songs that I really feel in love with. You Ex-Lover Is Dead is just amazing and also worked almost as well in the Degrassi episode (go canada!) as Breath Me did in Six Feet Under. Calendar Girl is also amazing.

In Our Bedroom After the War is a solid album but doesn't have any songs that really jump out at me. Over time I'm going to learn to love all the songs but I really love albums that grab me with really amazing singles.

I can't say they got worse cause they sound great and the album is a good purchase for any Stars fan. But they were not as lucky as last album with songs that really grab you.

If you want to get in to the Stars I would not start with this album and instead check out Set Your Self on Fire.

Congress should use subversion so we know who turned a good bill in to a bad one.

I love Imogen Heap and this is an amazing 3 song live performance. Even if you are not a fan you should check out the first song just to see an amazing A cappella song mixed live on a 4 track. (via Zach Klein)
