DriveTime

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back into production of my videoblog talkshow DriveTime.

Here's a Maxtor drive for under $100 (Firewire and 7200 RPM) at Staples.

Portable Firewire Drive

Lacie now makes a Firewire version of their rugged drive -- including a 7200 RPM version. Microcenter has the low-end version. I'll try to find cheaper options...

correction

It's been brought to my attention that I accidentally called him a girl, the editing movie is of a guy. Sorry.

Some cool links, hope you enjoy them

That comic I talked about in my presentation drmcninja.com

And a really cool video with some insane editing

I'm posting now

Look Ravi I posted something on the blog

Silent Films with Live Music

Remember when we talked about opportunities to see silent films with live music? Well there's opportunities this spring over at the Harvard Film Archive -- check out their series of landmark early Soviet Cinema.



I recommend Battleship Potemkin!

Hello my students!

Here is a good resource for book binding and book making techniques.

Also -- REMEMBER you need to get a hard drive if you have not. This rugged lacie should serve well (and is not too pricey compared to other drives).
