Do you want to know the truth? I hate editing audio. It seems like I'd rather do almost anything else. I need an attitude adjustment.
So what did I do last night when I should have been cleaning up the recordings I made at the Apple Store two weeks ago? I was surfing digg.com. I love that site. Their podcast is good too. Listen with friends and drink every time one of them say "dude." You'll get really fu*ked up.
The new visitor map helps me feel guilty for not putting out a podcast. I paid for the expanded version that shows the last 100 visitors to push my guilt to the next level.
Totally irrelevant, but it's my blog, so here goes: Has anyone using Windows 2000 noticed their computer has become really, really slow since installing last week's security update? Recently some of our workstations at work are one by one becoming painfully slow, but I can't track down the cause. That patch was rushed out, which makes me suspect it's the culprit.
Here's a new Google Map/MSN Virtual Earth/Flash mashup. This is the location of the Apple Store in Shibuya. You can see the line of trees that camoflage it. Here's where I want to record my next podcast. The Cicadas, crows and other birds in this park sound amazing. The building to the west is the Canadian Embassy. The smaller building to the southwest is the ambassador's residence, and a little further to the southwest are the living quarters of the Embassy staff. Nice digs.
From now, I go shopping for some hot-swappable hard drives so we can keep a copy of our company data offsite at all times. All the recent earthquakes have my boss seriously thinking about disaster recovery, which is good.

Last weekend we were at Ito Yokado, one of two department store/supermarkets in Koga, so Tony could get his video game fix. Right before we left, I took the video camera out of my backpack, turned it on and walked through the supermarket holding the camera as inconsicously as possible. Since I couldn't see what I was filming, the video is crooked and jumpy. I'm tempted to figure out how to attach the camera to the front of a shopping cart in a way that won't draw too much attention. And also to buy a wide-angle lens for it.
Here's the RSS feed for the The Herro Flom Japan Video Clip Chumbucket:

You can also watch the video at OurMedia.org and YouTube.com.
I'll try to do a better one sometime in the future. This one's like looking at the world through the eyes of a midget with one leg a lot shorter than the other.

In this episode, I almost do a videocast inside the new Apple Store in Shibuya. This one is in 320 X 240 resolution, so the file is a bit bigger than the previous ones. I did a podcast at the same time but haven't finished editing it yet. It'll be out soon.
P.S. Next time I do a videocast, I'll be sure to wipe the shiny off my face first. It was really, really hot that day.

Last week I did a podcast/videocast at the new Apple Store in Shibuya. Had I not forgotten my iRiver at the office over the weekend, I would have put it up. I have the rest of this week off, so it'll be up soon.
Two new and cool things to show ya'll:
- A Google Map mashup that shows who has visited my site lately.
- The most awesome streaming video technology I have ever seen. Oh. My. God. Click that link, it'll blow you away. I will play with VP7 as soon as I can. Like, as soon as I can park the kids in front of the PlayStation so I can shoot & encode some video. Unfortunately, it looks like you gotta pay to use Vividas' Java applet that plays fullscreen video. Nevertheless, this is making my geek nipples so hard, they're bleeding.

It's not the one from the podcast. This was taken two years ago.
