faster than you think

confessions of a pixel pusher internet technology

I just looked at the download speeds of interdubs and am surprised, and then again, not surprised how many people have fast connections these days. And how many actually have really really fast connection. It looks that fios is a big hit for the people that use interdubs from the client side. And a couple of bigger companies have indeed pipes that are as wide as you would think they are. It must be an interesting experience to use the internet with 45Mbit: Lot’s of slower sites and some that are pleasantly fast. Nice that interdubs is one of them. Very nice actualy.

If I would be Michael Bay I would be worried.

Here how people reacted to it:
(random, unbiased sampling, there simple was no single positive voice, except of the the press release that the makers pushed)

just creepy
it doesn’t get more unoriginal than this lifeless horror sequel
To me, it looks more like Dana Carvey made up to look like an old man.
freaky
grotesque
“kinda creepy” doesn’t do a thing for my appetite
It’s a desiccated undead zombie-mummy in a bowtie, and it will steal your soul.
.This is so horrifying, it makes me want to hide under my desk
It was so completely believable that I threw out all our popcorn so that zombie Orville wouldn’t tempted to visit.

Macworld SF

Macworld was OK. I was surprised how small it is. And how few interesting things I found. SF showed itself from it’s best side. It was sunny and I was able to walk to every place I needed to go. What a concept!

The talk on the LA Final Cut User Group Meeting went ok. It was a very pleasant and interested audience. Which made it worthwhile. I will post the material I talked about once it is in presentable form. Rebecca Ross wrote a very nice article about the event.

Post wrote an article about the Zodiac workflow earlier this year.

Walking Wilshire Blvd. What a neat idea to celebrate 10 years of LA. My ten year ‘anniversary’ was November 1st 2006. Should have done something.

I am looking for an asterisk person that knows it well enough to help to set a system up for a 50 people company (could be 100 soon). The lease is signed. Los Angeles. Please pass it on.
