Digital Video Digitizing

I'm perplexed.  A few years ago I bought a Dazzle Digital Video Creator.  The DVC was - and still is - an amazing device, even though at first glance it doesn't seem like it does much.

The purpose of the DVC is to convert video from a VCR or camcorder into digital video.  The DVC itself is a box that plugs into a USB port on the computer.   The box has inputs and outputs for video and stereo audio.  So far, nothing here is remarkable.

Frito Lay Rip-Off

In the convenience stores around town they've been selling these cans of Frito-Lay products that are a complete rip-off. You've probably seen them - black plastic container with a curvy shape and a brightly-colored shrink-wrap label.  In them, you might find Doritos, Fritos, Cheetos, and a few other odd concoctions that have never been seen before.

I saw this container sitting on the shelf at Wawa, and thought that maybe it's time to take a closer look at what's going on with this new packaging.

The Gettysburg Powerpoint Presentation

“Good morning. Just a second while I get this connection to work. Do I press this button here? Function-F7? No, that’s not right. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll have to reboot. Hold on a minute. Um, my name is Abe Lincoln and I’m your president. While we’re waiting, I want to thank Judge David Wills, chairman of the committee supervising the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery.” (Also, same site: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years)http://www.norvig.com/Gettysburg/index.htm

American History X Part 2

This is my second American History X paper. Not to be confused with my first American History X paper, which was neither accurate or any good. Not to say that this one is much better, just that it is longer. That game me a little more room to fit in some things about the rise and fall of white supremacist mentality in Derek. Anyway, here it is...

Update: This is the second part of my essay, not a hint at sequel. There is not and will not be a sequel to American History X.
