SleepyHead- PassionPit
I came home one day from work and my roommate was playing this song. At first I thought nothing of it. But over the course of a week I became obsessed with it. The sound is so intoxicating that I just had to share it. So I have collected the lyrics, music video, and iTunes link to the song. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do.

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going
Microwaves Singing!
What could be better than microwaves singing(or is it dinging?) jingle bells. Wonder how long they worked on getting the timing right?
I can’t embed it so you’re going to have to click the link. But trust me its well worth the view.

Simple DVD to AVI
I’m no pro at converting my DVD’s to avi's. and have been prone to fits of rage every time I attempt to do so. Then I found bitRipper.
From their site.
“bitRipper is FREE DVD to AVI software that allows you to back-up your DVD's as AVI files on the hard drive. It can be used for one-click ripping as good as for advanced modes. You are free to choose whether to use default configuration values or to set them manually. There are all necessary settings available:
• Video and audio codec’s configuration
• Video resolution and aspect ratio
• Sound track language and sound value normalization
• Variety of actions to be performed after the copying process is completed
• Includes 3rd party decryption module for CSS protected DVDs
bitRipper does not require gigabytes of space to copy all DVD content to the hard drive before converting to AVI. It converts video on-the-fly, copying data and writing it to AVI file at the same time.”
I’ve used it for the past few days and have almost gotten through a 3rd of my DVD collection. It’s very useful "for backups". It’s a little slow but I can’t complain too much it works just as advertised.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Found this aswome write up of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. This guys definitely done more thinking about the movie that I have. He’s pointed out quite a few things that I did not catch from the movie or even from the book. Its pretty cool and a good read on a slow day at work.
“The following is an edited and revised version of my undergraduate honors thesis at Northwestern University in 1997-1998. Unlike most essays on the film, it does not attempt to find a single interpretation of 2001, instead it looks at the different ways that the film has been interpreted over the last 30 years.
By looking at the film and its impact in this way, I hope to illustrate the ways in which our culture has changed since the 1960s, and the impact of the Information Revolution on the way that we look at the film today.” LINK
