Alright, so I was going to rip the files off our old wedding DVD's today and work some magic on them as a surprise for our 11th anniversary. However, my computer is showing the DVD's as blank. My PS3 reads them fine and plays them, and my computer plays normal movies on DVD just fine so I'm kind...

So I got called in to interview for a company that wants to create an in-house video production suite. I currently do contract video production for a company but it's intermittent work. So if this other place wants to hire me whats the best way to go to the other company and say, "Hey, these...

I know, I swore I would never, ever return to Texas after my years there, but really, Austin doesn't count. I scored a free ticket with the last of my miles (which is funny, it cost less miles to fly there than San Antonio, but if I had paid for the ticket it would have been cheaper to fly to...

So we lost power this weekend and I had to haul my editing rig out to a friends house so I could keep working. I figured it would be easier to just buy a new monitor (and I've been planning on doing that for awhile) than disassemble my 3 monitors on their big arm they are connected to. So I...

So microcenter just sent out a big sale on TV's, and this one caught my eye: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=500215 I've read some bad reviews of older models but the only ones I could find on this item were pretty good. Anyone have any experience with this brand or...

So I've been using Muscle Milk in the am to get my day going since I don't always have time to eat food before I leave the house. I partner it with a peanut butter Cliff Bar and that keeps me from wanting to eat donuts and baked goods for the first few hours and then I usually grab an early...

One of my employees is trying to buy a new laptop, for under $500. She does some photography but mainly she writes and blahblahinternet. So nothing to intense. She would like to be able to play games like Skyrim but knows she probably can't with a cheaper laptop. I know next to nothing about...

So lets talk changes in comics. We have lots of threads about this or that happening and there is always rage from fans that their beloved character has changed. Now, I'm not saying that that rage is wrong, hell, I've raged about this or that happening to characters and comics I loved, but...

So my work car, a 1998 Camry with almost 200,000 miles got backed into in a parking lot. Minor damage. Like, it cracked a part of the bumper. No dents, just a nice 8 inch crack. This car has gotten 4 new bumpers since I've had it (10 years). All 4 times got rear ended so I've never paid for it...

Hey all, yes, I am alive. Life is still super crazy so I'm not online much. I've been thinking though about something: I am looking at a more... permanent backup for my computer. I just bought a new 2TB hd and only have it backing up the important files and thats already way full. So I've been...

Amelia Carolynn, born 8lbs, 13oz on Sunday :) We are still at the hospital till next Sunday dealing with a rough labor/c-section and infection, which means baby gets a 7-day dose of antibiotics... BUT both she and Mommy are doing great and are up and around. Amelia is big and happy and loving...

So I may be sailing the high seas to play for the first time in order to play a game. Let me explain. Please start smoking your pipes, tobacco or bubble, whatever is your pleasure. I've never really played Diablo yet for some reason this new one looks... really cool. So I wanted to give it a...

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/05/09/viewing-child-porn-on-the-web-now-legal-in-new-york/ So I see people FLIPPING out on Facebook right now and posting this article. It sure sounds bad right? Here's what I took from looking over the article: Just because there are images stored on your...

So I am having a hard time finding any really good options here so I figured I would see if anyone has found a good way to deal with a sharp/hard desk edge. I'm doing about 20+ hours of freelance video editing a week at home these days and the hard edge of my desk is really getting uncomfortable...

At&T just offered me and my wife a free AT&T microcell to keep us from leaving. They offered it because we get zero cell reception in our apartment, which is... inconvenient. Anyone using one? Heard anything about them? Reviews seem to be very good for them. I asked the guy if there were any...

So I have 2 cards in my Mac Pro. I've had 2 cards in it since I bought the computer. I have both an ATI card and a nVidia card. Overall, great experience. My drummer told me the other day that it's bad to have 2 cards from different manufacturers in a computer, that their drivers compete or...

Someone left an iPad at my shop yesterday. It's got a lock screen so we can't get into it to find out who it belongs to. We have hundreds of students who come through here every day and I don't want to put up a sign about it because then we will have hundreds of students trying to get us to give...

I just got done watching the new Batman: Year One movie and wow, Bryan Cranston as Gordon? Fantastic. Makes me wish they had put him in the Nolan movies (and I love Oldman but... CRANSTON!). Seriously. This guy? We are watching both Breaking Bad and Malcom in the Middle right now and he is just...

So for the last 6 months or so I have been barraged on and off with phone calls for one "Adele Mnenga" living here in Minneapolis. The phone calls are all from "universities" or places that offer "loans" to go to college, etc, and each one says that "Adele" signed up to get the phone call...
