Some Maximum PC stuff
22Mar07 Sorry for the lack of followup on the SXSW stuff. I still have notes from Will Wright’s presentation, as well as the Make keynote, and I’ll post them as I have time in the future.
I’m super-busy right now, along with Dave “The Murph” Murphy and our entire web team, finalizing the content of [...]
Copying movies
18Feb07 Right now, I’m testing about 30 different utilities to see which is easiest and best for copying DVDs. I’m currently leaning toward AutoGK, which has vastly improved since the last time I tested it. It’s even ripping discs–like the Incredibles–which I previously had serious problems getting the audio and video sync’d.

The Uniball Signo RT Micro Gel has a 0.38mm tip that makes [...]
This story at BoingBoing is really interesting to me. It says that Myspace is now prohibiting people from uploading music that appears to infringe on copyright (they’re using the Gracenote info to tell what’s copyrighted and what isn’t).
It’s really interesting to me, because I’ve contacted Myspace three times asking them to remove copyrighted Maximum [...]
On Blogging…
21Sep06 I just now figured out the real benefit of blogging. For me it’s quickly replacing the journal I never updated as a place to organize and flesh out thoughts on different topics. Here’s a “for instance”:
I’ve spent the last few days trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to write this month’s editorial [...]
