A funky vertical panorama shot and stitched from 3 photographs on my iPhone with the AutoStitch app. The monitor at bottom is my DIY Cintiq, which has yet to be encased and prettified.It’s fed VGA (!)1 from a USB-DVI adapter.This non-hardware-accelerated display works fine as extra space for displaying bins.
Whereas, I like short films1; and
Whereas, I like film festivals.
Now, therefore, I do hereby proclaim that I am duty bound to also like the just-announced “Zombie Short Film Festival” and I do hereby urge all filmmakers to take due note of its existence.
At the moment, Amazon’s page for the Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder doesn’t list a price, and you have to place it in your cart to find out that it’s $129.99 with free shipping. I expect this price will last Amazon’s sold out again and then subsequently their page will list the higher price of the item from one of the other vendors who sell the camera on Amazon.
I posted my impressions of the camera the last time it was on sale at this price. You can also read more about the deal on this camera at the Fatwallet Hot Deals forum, and that forum thread includes comparisons of the camera’s image quality to other solid-state camcorders as well as links to reviews.

There was one unique moment. Dental phobias are prevalent out there and I don’t want to contribute to mass panic –but (stop reading now), as it turns out, it’s possible for effects of the anesthetic to take a little trip to places other than the injection site. In my case, my right eyelid and some of the muscles controlling that eye’s movement vanished, and for about an hour there appeared to be not one but two identically lovely and skilled dentists working on me. The double-vision didn’t last for more than an hour. That means less than an hour. The dentist had never seen such a thing. According to other dentists at the facility, stuff happens1.
As it turns out, I had a couple of cavities. They’re now filled up with some awesome white plastic to better match my iPhone. The rest of my teeth are now clean, and have been duly buffed and fluorided. All calculus was scraped off and either went down the suction tube or went down my esophagus to supplement my diet. I got to see my x-rays, and a look at them made it clear that my teeth are actually monochrome, kind of a dark gray really.
If you haven’t been to the dentist lately, I’d highly recommend a trip. Life’s too short to rob yourself of its more intense and interesting experiences.
My last post should have included 3 photos, but one was missing. I’d cut the first photo, of a light fixture, and pasted it to the end of the email I’d sent to posterous (a service that makes it simple to create blog posts via email). I checked the copy of the email in my sent mail folder, and it too was missing the photo.
I’m going to try replicating that action in this post. If the photo of the light fixture, which went missing from the last post, is also missing from this one, I’ll report the bug to apple.
If you know Seattle at all, you may be able to guess the locations at which I shot the other two photos.
Once past the clock and some ornate moulding, the halls continue in that clinical and blank squared-off style that screams “hospital”. I bet architects have a term for it. “medicoindustrial futurist”?
I suspect the light fixture above the clock is a later addition (I might guess that it’s Art Deco and the moulding is Art Noveau, but I’m a bit too ignorant on the subject to really say so with any confidence –should I reference “There’s Something About Mary?”). it seemed worthy of a quick pic.
