Sorry if this is a repost.
This animation explains SOPA pretty clearly, and it comes with an easy to fill form to send a letter to the senate.

Mi Roommate es de Boca Jan 8, 12, 4:57 p.m.

Ok My roommate is Boca Junior's Argentine. So I decided the most appropriate thing to do is to paint the River Plate logo on his bedroom door.

Yes, paint. I would like it to be as permanent as possible.

The problem with paint is, it will take me for ever to paint those thin lines right, not to mention the font.

What's another direction I could go with this? Vinyl and a plotter? That would be easy to peel off, and i think it's expensive. Is it?

How can I transfer the graphic to the door?

El Clasico Dec 9, 11, 1:46 p.m.

Real Madrid have won only one of their previous 11 meetings with their Catalan rivals (losing seven and drawing the other three).

However, Los Blancos have won six out of eight of their last meetings versus Barcelona when the sides have met in the month of December (one defeat, one draw).

Madrid have not dropped a single point after scoring first in Liga since the beginning of the 2009-10 campaign, with every other team dropping at least 18 points in this period.

Barcelona have won only three of their last 10 Liga away fixtures, this coming after setting the record for most consecutive away victories last season (12).

Lionel Messi has scored on his last five visits to the Santiago Bernabeu, netting a total of seven goals in the process.

Pep Guardiola's men have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes than any other side in La Liga this season (11), while Madrid have netted the most strikes in the last 15 (10).

Adobe license Nov 16, 11, 8:16 p.m.

So i picked up a copy of CS3 creative suite over a year ago. CS4 was out at the time, but I did not care for the price tag of the latest and greatest. So I found someone selling a license of CS3 on amazon for $650. Ordered it and have been using it without issue.

I never bothered to register because I did not care to be in adobe's mailing list.

Last week I decided to upgrade to CS5.5, so I purchased the upgrade, again through amazon. The upgrade requires me to enter the CS3 license in order to install. I did, and to my surprise it did not work.

So I call adobe and they told me that my license of CS3 was not valid. asked me if i had a receipt of purchase. So I sent them my receipt and have been waiting for a response from them since Saturday.

I have a feeling that adobe will just tell me, too bad you paid $650 for a license that is not valid. You still need to purchase the entire thing again.

My question is, are people allowed to sell their software license whenever they want to?

Question for Video and Motion Peeps Nov 6, 11, 6:40 p.m.

I was editing some 720 x 480 stuff on Premiere without issue on my machine:
Dell 4GB RAM
Intel D CPU 3.20GHz 3.19GHz

I just brought in some footage that is 1920x1080 and Premiere can't play it smoothly.

Do I just need more RAM?
Or is it time to go Quad Core?

buy the rights to audio Oct 27, 11, 3:25 p.m.

Where do you purchase music for video projects.
So far the most broad library I have encountered
is:

http://www.jewelbeat.com/

But most tunes have this elevator music / generic type feel.

Is there a site that allows musicians to sell the rights to their tunes?

iPad-should be easier than this Apr 13, 11, 5:45 p.m.

So I picked up an iPad for my parents hoping to do away with some of the complexities of a laptop.

Now we just sync our photos, iTunes went through the motions. Now how do I see the photos in the iPad?

I clicked on the photos icon on the ipad and it does not show them.

I looked for them using iTunes, no success.

Is this happening because we sync with a laptop PC and not a macBook? What else could it be?

Is it time to join Boz on his campaign to dethrone Apple?
