I really love this and that’s all I’ll say. Check out the shadows.

Testify!

 

Sometimes  you think you are the first person to think of an idea but these folks were way ahead of me. Some of the concepts in my next film END:CIV are presented in Testify by Michael Becker and Stephen Gamboa. Michael Becker also co-authored "Igniting a Revolution" and I’ll have him on the show later this summer. "Testify: Eco Defense and the Politics of Violence" is about an hour long and well fucking worth it.

iTunes freezes on video playback

I’ve been getting complaints from several folks that when they play my shows on iTunes, it locks up the whole fuckin’ machine. So I checked it out and boom the whole fucking thing froze. Not iTunes, but the whole OS! I had to force reboot the damned thing. In disbelief I tried it again. Same shit.

I re-encoded several different ways and same thing. So I played the clip on Miro and no problem.

Upon investigation, I found this link from the Apple Support Forums, with a whole bunch of angry motherfuckers with the same problem.

This has been happening for at least a few weeks and not a peep has been heard from Apple. Well, in my opinion, this is a major fuckin issue!

Anybody else have any horror stories?

Where the fuck have I been?

Mashup and Surveillance

OK I’ve been spending too much time surfing this morning.

Found this while checking my stats:

George Bush’s AmericaMP3  30 mins 128 kbps stereo 27.5 MB

and for anyone interested in resistance actions at night, think RNC / DNC this is pretty nifty.
“I-R.A.S.C. is a device giving every citizen a reliable protection from governmental security measures. I-R.A.S.C. is security again security and therefore a response to the dissymmetry of the forces between state and individual.

Instead of showing and interaction among human-beings, or between man and machine, I-R.A.S.C. demonstrates an interaction among machines. This is part of absurd situation – while the

time and effort invested into protection measures aims at the alleged safety of the citizens, the individual looses importance in this safety concept.

I-R.A.S.C is an infra-red device working as a protection shield from infra-red surveillance cameras. Everibody can rebuild this device without special technical skills. “

More great vids.

Since these came from YouTube I have no idea if this person made them.

300 This is Revisionism

300 This is Revisionism (2008) is a remix of the film "300," about the Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae. Our remix is a short video that deconstructs the archetypes used to tell the story in 300 by comparing how these same characterizations of GOOD and EVIL have been used in Hollywood cinema throughout history. WARNING: This video contains some graphic violence from the original film.

 

Civilization! – *Some Restrictions Apply

Some of the best shit out. Hilarious DIY piece. I tracked the filmmaker down and he hadn’t even heard of Derrick Jensen
or Daniel Quinn, but by golly, the script sounds like it could have been written by them. Once I get a full-rez version I’ll
post to the podcast. Enjoy…
