Joystick.com reports that judges are finally starting to make some rulings that make sense! We all know (if from nowhere else, than from this blog) that the DMCA is evil. It allows all kinds of restrictions to be placed on you, even though you were a good citizen and bought the content legally. For example, the DMCA makes it illegal to rip a DVD to your computer because that would entail breaking the copy protections on the DVD. This may have killed a HUGE surge or video iPod-like devices. Sure, you can buy video from the iTunes store, but why do that if you already own the movie?

Here’s a quote from O’Reilly:

I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life - the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.

I came across this page today where someone has posted a video entitled Suburban Plight. The movie is a combination of live action and computer graphics created with Blender! The result looks very nice. I’m glad the author decided to share it with us. Check it out!

Happy Thanksgiving! Take time to Give Thanks (thanksgiving) for everything you’ve been blessed to have. No matter how things are going for you, others have it worse. Case in point, be thankful for the soldiers fighting abroad. Whatever you may think about the war, those poor men and women cannot be with their families this Thanksgiving. Instead they are in some hell-hole fighting to help people who don’t even want them there.

It’s been really pushing my creative limits to try and come up with a different shot each day. I will continue taking one picture a day, but for the next few days, I really want to take the Holiday to spend time with my family instead of messing with photos on the computer, so I’ll upload them after the holiday. So look for them then.
