http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/ I live in the kingdom of squirrels under the water tower forest. en-us jeremy@minnescoota.com Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:59:49 -0600 http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002641.shtml Viewville.com has just launched. Your destination for fine art photo prints is ready for your visit! http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002634.shtml We took Trixie to a waterpark this weekend and had a sweet time squirting, swimming, tubing, floating, splashing and eating. She was zonked out solid every night but ready to go back each morning. Meghan let me run off on my own and do the more extreme slides and, of course, The Vortex (which is sorta like a 3-story toilet bowl flush of fury). Those awkward tweens kept getting in my way... but they never expected the older bearded guy to clothesline and pants them.... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002633.shtml One of our two short films for the 2007 Minnesota Greatest Generation Film Festival won "Best Collaborative Film" and we are thrilled! Out of 65+ films, our 10-minute piece on local 1948 Olympic speed skater Arthur Seaman ("Skating The Pacific To Europe") was one of the few big winners. What a thrill it was to win a second film award this year. Wow. Dare I hope for three next year?! Ha ha.... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002583.shtml We picked up a refurbed EyeTV Hybrid from Elgato the other day and I set it up the other night to record the astronomy show "Seeing in the Dark" on PBS (featuring pal Mike Koppelman) and I have to say I am duly impressed. Without cable or satellite TV, we've been in the dark regarding hi-def programming. Since we've seen what over-the-air HDTV can be like, however, we are SPAZZING about the ability to grab a couple of shows to record (Heroes, ahem... thanks,... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002582.shtml Whoa whoa whoa. Casshern finally coming out on US DVD! While the import disc is fine, I am eager to (hopefully) have a better version of this mind blowing Japanese "live-action anime" type movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you can on October 16th! I had this on my laptop last year and was watching it on the plane and this young Asian kid next to me hadn't heard of it and was curious so we both watched it and he was stunned. Seriously,... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002573.shtml Season Two of the British geek comedy "The IT Crowd" has been scheduled for Friday August 24th at 9.30pm!... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002560.shtml Not only were we selected for the 48 Hour Film Project "Best of Minneapolis 2007" show but we won "Best Ensemble Cast" for the second year in a row! Wowzer. How amazingly cool. I want to make another movie right now.... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002556.shtml We got a sneak preview test drive of the smart fortwo car that is coming to the US in early 2008! http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002551.shtml We finished up our horror film (that's the genre we drew) for this year's 48 Hour Film Project and made the deadline by 15 minutes. Whew. My voice went away on Sunday and is just starting to come back now. Still sleepy, but excited. I hope to see you all on Thursday at 7:00pm at the Riverview Theater for the premiere!... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002549.shtml Once again, the Climaxx team (yes, the name... um...) has entered the 48 Hour Film Project contest and all the sleep deprivation, excitement, madness, creating, sweating, etc, starts tonight at 7pm at the Midtown Global Market (the kickoff event actually begins at 5:30pm) where the teams, all 84 of 'em, get their line of dialogue, prop and character and create a movie in one weekend. Premieres are next week at the Riverview Theater from Monday through Thursday!... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002546.shtml The smart Car tour is coming here very soon! I'm excited to actually drive one...... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002541.shtml I just outsourced the programming of a small web project for one of my clients. Nerve-wracking but exciting. http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002531.shtml My cute little bunny Trixie was hopping all around this weekend, wearing her rabbit ears around the house (and making me wear the lamb ears), pretending to eat carrots and just generally being funny. She totally got the whole "find the eggs" concept, even though the first egg was dropped, smashed and tore open with her excited baby hands and then promptly shoved into her mouth, shell and all, and crunched to bits. What, you can't eat the crunchy bits? But then she realized she... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002521.shtml "Apple is currently on track to deliver the long-awaited new version of Final Cut Pro at this year's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show, sources report." (Via ThinkSecret.)... http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/archives/002509.shtml There is a group of skaters, most of whom are in their 70's and 80's, that long blade ice skate (speed skate) together every week and the StarTribune has an article in the Sunday paper about them, including an audio slideshow. These people are active, despite their age! What's my excuse? Um......
