Really, this blog post is an experiment to see how many Gevalia Coffee ads I pull and how much comment spam I get by tomorrow, but just for fun:
Wikipedia answers the age-old question: What is a French Press?
This past weekend was the first ever Orlando Film Festival... in case you missed it, and it's likely you did. The people who put this thing together are well-known and respected in the Florida film community. I got a chance to sit down with the programming team, Brian Quain and Michael King. You may recognize Brian as the inventor of a phenomenon only known as "The Game". Michael is known mostly in Orlando for his Writing-Producing-Acting role in his film The Way Back Home.

At least I'm currently the number 2 Ryan Price. Someday...
My first screencast ever, made with $20 shareware app iShowU and free sound capture application Soundflower. You can record directly to H.264 and a slough of other codecs, but I recorded to Apple Animation, which made a ~ 600MB file, which I compressed with Quicktime Pro down to 60MB.
Finally, an interactive, on-demand customized service. For some reason, it is only available in Hawaii and only on Time Warner, but it is awesome (if it does what it says it does). Good show.
To all of my, oh, three readers out there, be it known that I am now out of a paying gig. The circumstances of how I got in to this situation are meant to be kept undisclosed, but let's just say I'm not too broken up by it. Time to move on and move up... I hope.
