I've only watched ten minutes so far, but if you haven't seen this, it's worth a look see.

I was expecting a Schrute-esque snarky comment, but sadly it never came.  Watch a little bit and I think you'll understand.

The camera cuts, monologue pacing, camera jostle, and focus style definitely pay homage to The Office, right?

CloudOn Brings Microsoft Office to Your iPad, Complete with Cloud Storage

iPad: CloudOn brings a fully-loaded version of Microsoft Office to the iPad, so you can edit documents on-the-go using all of Office's features, and store your documents right in your Dropbox.


The idea of being able to work with excel files from the cloud on my ipad (with full functionality) is a big wishlist item.  Numbers is fun, but doesn't cut it.

I just finished watching Ghoulies.  If you haven't seen it, there are a couple of scenes worth watching (okay...one, a hilarious breakdancing scene) and if you have seen it, you probably knew what you were getting yourself into.

The opening scene treats us to, among other things, an actor I recognized. 

Naturally, I thought it was Roy in Blade Runner (Rutger Hauer):

But something didn't sit right about that.  I racked my brain for the whole movie, and finally, during this scene, it hit me!!

That's Murdoc from MacGyver (Michael Des Barres)!!

Oh, and for anyone who wants to watch the break dancing scene without watching the whole movie...enjoy!

I popped in Raiders just last weekend when I was feeling a little Indy.  This morning I found this video (Indyanimation via How-To-GeekNeatorama) and it took me back to my stop motion animation endeavors.  Great use of the movie soundtrack---and a wonderful one-person production.

Enjoy!!

I did a lot of stop motion animation when I was younger, so this made me feel a bit nostalgic.

Enjoy!

The changes to posterous have kept me from posting much here...but that shouldn't keep me from wishing all of you a happy holiday!

The orchestra is more machine now, than man.  Twisted and evil.

I'm proud of my first released track. I could spend forever on little tweaks. Enjoy!

I've spent 10 minutes trying to post a picture on my phone....still no dice.  The new app is awful.  It crashes when I try to attach a photo, when I try posting text-only, and when I try commenting.

I switched to posterous for the great user experience...and still think I'm losing that with their strategy shift this week.

Sad.

Another not-so-good sign...

I'll email it instead, shortly.

I'm a HUGE Posterous fan, but this feels like a step in the wrong direction.  The key to success was the ease with which I could post.  Anywhere I had the ability to send an email, Posterous would turn it into a blog post.  

I'm not looking for another integrated social platform, or new "circles" to manage.  I was pretty happy with the ability to have one (okay, a few) separate blogs that made the posting experience dead simple, encouraging me to post (like I am here).

I really hope this isn't a sign that the direction is moving from easy access toward social networking.  I know a lot of people on Facebook and Google+, so there's a built in audience ready and waiting.  I don't think I'll have much luck convincing people to join posterous so they can be part of a private space.

Subject: Introducing Posterous Spaces

You're receiving this email because you signed up for a posterous account.

Hi Matthew C.,

Today I couldn’t be more excited to announce the release of Posterous Spaces.

Spaces is a brand new service that replaces Posterous Sites and Groups. Our goal is to make it even easier for you to share with a select few, or to broadcast your posts as widely as you’d like. While there’s still work to be done, I can proudly say that it’s the product I envisioned when launching Posterous three years ago.

There are simply too many new things happening in Posterous Spaces to list in one brief email (if you are a visual person, here’s a video to watch – or please check out our blog for all the details, but I wanted to point out a few highlights:

  • First, the name. Posterous remains our company name, while Posterous Spaces is now our product name, replacing sites and groups. Although this new moniker may seem like a departure, rest assured you can do everything on Posterous Spaces that you could before and lots more.
  • Faster, more engaging reading experience. You can now read and engage with posts from all Spaces you follow right when you log in. We’ve even added a Popular Feed to showcase public posts on Posterous that are trending-up.
  • More themes, cooler themes. We’ve added five new themes we’re sure you’ll love. Check them out, using the Customize pull-down menu on your Spaces tab.
  • Speed, speed & more speed. Everyone we talk to asks for faster sharing. With Posterous Spaces, you’ll see a 3x improvement in load time with even greater improvement in the works.
  • Fantastic new iPhone App We’re also bringing all the power and functionality of Posterous Spaces to our new iPhone app. Built from the ground-up, now it’s easy to create new Spaces, set up autoposting, read posts from Spaces you follow, and a lot more. All directly from the app. Try it for yourself.

To wrap things up, I want to thank you for your support. We wouldn’t exist without you, and we’re dedicated to making it easier for you to control how you share with the people you care about.

Enjoy,

Sachin

Not a good sign.  Ironic given the intended content.  I'll try it again shortly.

We almost pulled off some magic late in the 4th quarter in a close game at USC. Great view from the seats and a fun time.
