transitions galore!

if you're an amateur video editing hobbyist like me and want to have more transitions to use without breaking the bank, take a look at Burger's Transition Site. check out the Firestorm effect he cooked up - wicked!

stopping the leaks

if you've ever looked around the black market for movies (which is admittedly, pretty much everywhere here), chances are you've found yourself viewing a "screener" copy, meaning it was only meant for viewing of intended individuals, like say, the members of a movie awards panel, such as the Academy Awards.

i'm baaaaaaaaaaack!

man! after being waylaid in bed for pretty much the past, er, (counts fingers) 5 days due to an unexplainable rash that i have all over me (which i still have, unfortunately), i'm finally able to get back to some semblance of normal living, on the computer, blogging as much as i want to, and getting around the house anytime i wanted to.

it was fun being serviced by everyone if i wanted water, or food, or a change of clothes, or whatever, and not to be expected to do stuff like, wash the plates, clean my room, or fix some house appliance, not to mention i didnt have to go to work for a few days, but i guess that was part of being sick.

come to think of it, i think i liked being sick more. heheheh.
