The Chicken Riders

The kid in the striped shirt has obviously been captured some of the less famous Chicken Riders of Rohan…

Just a quick picture from the weekend. These were some of the cutest costumes at the whole Ren Fest. Because, after all, nothing says ‘cute’ like dressing up a pair of overalls so that it makes your kid look like he’s riding a gigantic mutant chicken.

Reasons why I like my job

Right now, I’m using four separate Macs…

One of them is rendering a series of Final Cut Pro video filters to color correct and sharpen a heart surgery that was filmed in the 70’s and transferred to VHS tape some time in the 80’s. When it’s done rendering I’m going to put it on a DVD, and in about 20 years or so someone will probably transfer it to optical crystal or whatever they’re using then.

Another Mac is burning a DVD of a different video project. The third is busy compiling Apache 2.0.50, Berkeley DB and Subversion for our web developers. I’m writing this on the fourth while simultaneously using it to monitor the other three.

So, yeah… I haven’t updated for a bit. It’s been busy.
