Andrew Harwood - (pictured above) will be convening another 70's musical evening at Molotov Cocktail, this Sunday, at 928 Dundas St W for FREE! (show up after 9, he says after 8, but he lies all the time)
Due to stringent CRTC rules for Canadian content, that I so kindly pointed out to him, Andrew has now agreed to play a Gino Vanelli tune every hour.
Back to war for a moment, since it's never over until it's over, a good essay in the New Statesman about what may possibly a wider ranging and unwinnable war going on right now. (just another item to add to that long list)
God Bless America and Rick Mercer (and YouTube) because "Talking to Americans" is finally on-line for our viewing and reviewing pleasure.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.
b/t/w I got the links via a morning (as if I'm up in the morning) email message, then Wonkette and then the wonderful boingboing who, as you know, directs to more wonderful things.
Another good video link is an interview with Mercer where he talks about the worn leopard print carpet at 24 Sussex that Mila Mulroney installed and subsequent occupants have refused to replace.
Tiger Video/Cow Video from 1999 now turned into animated GIFs. (hey, are they actually moving on anyone else's end?)
I got inspired by (or jealous of) certain works by Sally McKay and Tom Moody, (and the anonymous Jane-Campion-Fleeing-Romance-Truck) so I thought I'd try out Easy GIF Animator and convert some of my old director animations that had originally been exhibited as videos.
I can't get them running fast enough unless I sacrifice more frames, so I'm not sure how to optimize the files without loosing more frames, or if I'm even using a good GIF animator, or if I am just way off base with the type of images I am trying to animate.
The on-line work I do like is starting to make more sense, (choices always get made within the limits of any technology and the best of anything always looks like it was made that way on purpose.)
