Ponderings For 2007-12-06
posted in Ponderings |- I forgot to switch my Ponderings post from yesterday from draft to publish status. So, it would have just showed up an hour or so ago, when I noticed. Whoops…
- The Photoshop plug-in for the HD Photo format has gone final. Get it here. As some of you may know, I’ve been working on a 35mm slide (and other negatives/prints) scanning project, archiving old family photo material digitally. It’s quite the undertaking. I selected the HD Photo format for the project (using the lossless encoding option). It’s a bleeding edge, barely supported format at the moment (I’ve been using the beta versions of the Photoshop plug-in), but it’s and awesome format. It’s on its way to be JPG’s successor, “JPEG XR.”
- For those wondering if humanity has a chance? Nope. Man, that opening sequence from Idiocracy gets scarier every day.
- Excellent. Molly Shannon might be made into a regular on Pushing Daisies. If the writers strike ends, anyway.
- Eeeek, Amada Peet has been added to the cast of The X-Files 2. I’m giddy. Billy Connolly is another excellent addition. I had to Google this retarded-sounding “Xzibit” person, and was unimpressed with his previous handful of credits. Here’s hoping he doesn’t hurt the film.
- Couple cool new trailers to check out. First, here’s one for Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Second, here’s one for Speed Racer. While you’re at it, there’s Will Ferrell’s new Semi-Pro.
