learns ins and outs of ImageMagick’s ability to mass-change pictures and incrementally grows his video of the astrological sky, now just over a year. Now I’m looking for sources of flip books i can sneak into it.

Unruly children should be folded and placed in the overhead bin and in the event of a water landing they can be used as a flotation device.

called headhunter, friend of friend. “I’m not a headhunter, I’m a technical recruiter.” Not the best start. later: “there really isn’t that much out there.” It really is as bad as i hear on the radio, isn’t it? I’ve discovered I have a subtle resentment

web presence… you have it before you know it. Could be worse, say, if a google search of your name finds only a police report in which you had a tangential role..

hey lazyweb: Anyone know a good way to turn a bunch of GIFs (currently 120, but will be about 350-400) into a mpg or avi or something like that? For some reason I’m not finding what I want, mpeg_encode seems to be kinda old..

Last time I looked for Ernie Kovacs there wasn’t any. Now there’s all kind of stuff I’ve never seen.
[From “Kovacs Corner” on YouTube.com] - Only Ernie Kovacs could envision Tchaikovsky’s masterwork accompanied by mechanical toy monkeys, splattered eggs against a frying pan, and a rather zoftig ballerina played by actress Muriel Landers. Preceeding the clip are two blackout sequences featuring Jolene Brand in a bathtub, and Ernie himself.
[Update May 31, 2010] BTW…to answer some verbal inquiries, Ernie’s out-of-sync audio was not a problem on my part at uploading the YT video. It was Ernie’s deliberate action at disorienting the viewer, which was to match the disorienting visual of the small girl on his shoulder.

This was created to display what is actually happening in the sky when Mercury goes retrograde. The sun is over in the 6th & 7th houses (3 o’clock) and Mercury bounces back and forth. I need to slow this down some, but it shows the whole year in 15 seconds. Watch it several times, the exchange rate of words to pictures is high.

Still on a Kovacs kick.. Ernie Kovacs was one of the first to actually use TV for something other than retreaded radio and vaudeville. This one was probably a little racy for mid-50’s (garters, bras on live models, etc), and precedes MTV by about 25 years.
[From “Kovacs Corner” on YouTube.com] - Not all of Kovacs’ segments centered around satire or comedy. Here is a thematic clip showcasing lovely co-star Jolene Brand. We see her, her room mates, and their male suitors (Bobby Lauher and Joe Mikolas) in preparation for a romantic evening. The video display’s Kovacs’ sense of complementing the visuals with music, and a good dose of pathos. Starting at 1:13, Ernie musical selection for the piece includes George Gershwin’s “Piano Concerto in F”.
[Updated September 2, 2010] I had just watched some of the video on YT recorded with the late Edie Adams suggesting that Ernie did not like to have “actors” as his supporting players. She indicated that Ernie felt that they “contributed too much” that distracted from Kovacs’ conceptional ideas about his work. If this was true, I think that in the case of Jolene Brand, Ernie made a huge exception. Not only did she play with his comedy fairly well as we see in many of his other clips, but she is also giving a very strong emotional expression to this video’s character. She was an accomplished professional actress in her own right, playing in episodes of TV’s “Zorro”, “Gunsmoke”, and “Maverick” among others. FYI, she has been married to “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” producer George Schlatter.

I think we should go get lost in Longmont more often. This place had more cheeses than I’ve seen in one place. One part of the store is a big walk-in fridge. They have complimetary coats hanging outside. About half dozen kinds of cheese available to taste, and many olives in bulk, also sampleable.

This article sounds like a headline from the Onion, but I think it’s supposed to be real because it’s being cited all over the blogosphere.
I am awaiting this toy anxiously. We’re down to one phone because one is lost, and there’s no reason to get a new one if we’re gonna upgrade in a few weeks…..
