Charade (1963): Regina is about to divorce her husband when she finds that he has been murdered after converting every penny they owned to cash, which is also missing. She meets Cary Grant who changes his name every 15 min. or so and is interested in her husband's money, which seems to have come from a WWII payroll he stole. His partners in crime are also very interested in where the money is, as he stole it from them as well. Everyone assumes Regina MUST know where the money is. The situation becomes more tense when the searchers begin turning up dead. (learn how this film accidentally slipped into the public domain)

Happy Go Lovely (1951): David Niven plays a rich bachelor, the head of a successful greeting-card company in Scotland, essentially a kind man but respectable to the point of stodginess and extreme stuffiness. An American troupe wants to produce a musical in town (Edinburgh?) but has trouble getting backers. Niven's character meets several of the leading ladies of the show; through a misunderstanding he doesn't correct they think that he's a newspaper reporter. He falls in love with one of the women, who reciprocates; he grows more lively and friendly, to the surprise of his employees. After a series of mishaps and comic incidents comes a happy ending: a successful show and true love.

From the producer of the original ''musical fountain'' in More Bells and Whistles, SIGGRAPH 1990. Two years in the making, the full video album is comprised of 7 pieces, each by a completely different instrument configuration. Proprietary animation software analyzes the music, and automatically drives the movement of the instruments for highly accurate and efficient animation. Essentially no traditional keyframing is used.

Tom Dealy has been indicted. GOP congressional officials say Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., will recommend Rep. David Dreier of California as a temporary replacement for Tom Delay. Just who is this guy?

Dreier has served as chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee since 1999. He has also served as chairman of California's Republican Congressional Delegation since 2001. Dreier was a major player in helping elect Arnold Schwarzenegger in California's 2003 recall election, and is a frequent guest on the political talk show circuit.

Throughout his early Congressional service, Dreier established a record as a strong supporter of tax cuts and of President Reagan's anti-Communist foreign policy. One of the youngest as well as the first Californian Rules Chairman in history, David Dreier plays a pivotal role in fashioning legislation promoting Republican Party positions on Social Security, child education, taxes, and national security.

David Dreier serves the eastern cities of L.A. County in the beautiful San Gabriel Valley, including: Arcadia, Bradbury, Claremont, Glendora, La Canada Flintridge, La Verne, Monrovia, San Dimas, San Marino, Sierra Madre, Walnut, La Crescenta-Montrose, Mayflower Village, and North El Monte. Heading into the eastern part of the district, one crosses the county line into San Bernardino County and the residential communities of Upland, Montclair, and Rancho Cucamonga.

This goes beyond many of the greasemonkey goodies available on the net. QuickGallery is not a tweak, but rather a image viewer that still has the instant gratification of other GM scripts. It automatically finds and loads all linked images and allows you to scroll through all of them on on top of the still-viewable and navigable website. In addition, clicking on thumbnails no longer result in the image loading in a new page or even the same page. Instead, it instantly pops up on top of the current page. Clicking multiple images will result in a cascade of images that are easily dismissed by a simple mouseclick.

QuickGallery completely redefines the process of viewing image galleries and adds enhanced functionality to any site with linked images. This isn't just a neat trick. It's genuinely useful, and strikingly simple. And as a bonus, it works in Opera, too.

After installation, try it out by pressing your right or left arrow keys to scroll through wtg's images, and then try clicking on thumbnails at Google's image search.

Ars Technica has some surprising things to say about Microsoft's new Digital Image 2006.

I keep on being pleasantly surprised by new software from Microsoft. It's hard to shake their reputation as a peddler of kludgey contraptions, but programs like Digital Image 2006 are anything but. The design is clean and distilled. The program's adherence to folder structures and OS-maintained metadata means it plays nicely with other applications. Unless you decide upon trial that something about Digital Image doesn't fit your work style, there's not much about it not to recommend.

Anyone who's ever used ACDSee will agree with their assesment of the software.

It's hard not to be impressed by the sheer volume of features in ACDSee, but in practical use they just get in the way of each other. Users who liken learning new programs to solving a thorny puzzle will enjoy this one, but I'd advise most others to steer clear.

I believe the technical term is "creeping featuritis"

They say Photoshop Album has "weak touch-up tools," "unclear design," and is a "memory hog."

But when all is said and done, Google's free Picasa blows the competition away.

I admire the lean simplicity of Microsoft Digital Image, but Picasa's organizational system will be of more use to me over the long term. Its labeling system was easiest for me to deal with. I never felt like I had to conform to a particular conception of how photos should be organized when using it.

Picasa is a very strong tool. Its interface stays out of your way and makes it easy to sort through large collections of images. Not bad for a free download.

I've been using Picasa since Google bought it and it really does a fantastic job. For minor photo manipulation, it rivals Photoshop. In terms of organization, it's slick, intuitive interface has no equal. Gmail and Blogger integration, along with the Hello add-on, bring it into the Flickresque world of social image organization.

More "classic" episodes of JenniShow. Long before vlogging had a name, Jenni of jennicam was doing just that. These are episodes 8 & 9 of her 45 (that I'm aware of) episode run. Research at the wayback machine (search for thesync.com) suggests that these episode are at least 8 years old.

In episode 8, 'Lingerie Slumber Party' Jenni shows you her belly-button ring and dresses her male friend in her underwear while the gang discusses breast implants and jennicam's 2-year anniversary.

In episode 9, ' Untitled,' Jenni answers viewer questions from Dupont Circle for five minutes, and then the episode abrupty ends. Despite the broken file, I decided to post the episode in the interest of spreading this material around the net. Unfortunately, I don't know of any other sites that might have the full version of this episode. If anyone knows of such a site, please comment on this post.

Some of these episodes are really only significant for their historical value. Others are genuinely interesting. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is which.

FontExplorer X sets a new standard for font management software. After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X. Font management has never been so simple, and font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are now more fun than ever. FontExplorer X gives computer users all the font functions they could need, and lets them decide how deeply they wish to dive into various font themes.

This looks like it could be quite useful. It also looks like they could get sued by Apple.

The Battle of Midway: "The Battle of Midway," directed by John Ford, provides a relatively brief account of the Japanese attack of American ships at Midway atoll. The film is comprised mostly of authentic footage from the battle, with dramatic narration by Henry Fonda. "Behind every cloud, there may be an enemy," he intones as American fighter pilots search the sky. The rest of the film mocks Emporer Tojo of Japan and portrays him as ruthless, bombing hospitals and churches as he tries to conquer the Pacific.

Recorded in 1958 at the Beat Hotel, rue Git le Coeur, Paris, on a UHER 4400 reel-to-reel recording machine, this record documents Brion Gysin's important experiments in cut-up and recording technique.

Sez Gysin:

"I made it to show Burroughs how, possibly, to use it. William did not yet have a tape recorder.

Very soon after that, Burroughs was busy punching to death a series of cheap Japanese plastic tape recorders, to which he applied himself with such force that he could punch one of them to death inside a matter of weeks, days even."

Safety: Harm Hides at Home(197?): A mild-mannered architect becomes Safety Woman when danger lurks for children, apparently raiding ABBA's wardrobe on the way. First, a boy making hamburgers (who keeps mumbling something about a "Super Burger") starts a small fire, but Guardania is there to save the day (and yell at him.) Then, she hears another boy who finds a gun, and she is magically whisked away to save the day for him. (If he was smart enough to take the door off a refrigerator to prevent suffocation, I would think he would be safe with a gun.) I didn't catch whether the aliens wanted her to help just the kids in her neighborhood, or the world. If it was the world, that lady would be very busy.

Katrina is a symbol of all this administration does and doesn't do.

The bottom line is simple: The "we'll do whatever it takes" administration doesn't have what it takes to get the job done.

This is the Katrina administration.

This speech is ultimately more positive than negative, but I just found this paragraph to be exceptional. It's worth the time to read the entire speech.

Asleep At Sea - Dance On (garage pop) Arizona based indie pop-rock outfit Asleep in the Sea has taken the scene by storm with the beautiful three part harmonies, cute yet disturbing lyrics, and catchy sing-along choruses on display throughout their debut EP "Yay! OK? Yeah" which, in addition to their childishly amusing live show, has garnered much attention for the young group.

Zia - Cosmic Rain (ambient/trip-hop) Fascinated with space exploration and music technology, Zia integrated these elements into its music and performances, creating new wave-styled, electronic pop. The band assembled their own instrumentation, using circuit boards as drum pads and a guitar-shaped MIDI controller.
