Every Friday for the past 6 months has started w/ Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes. Try it don’t buy it. Propagandhi wants your allegiance not your money.

I am uploading it to the Casey folder (*our shared WebDAV folder). It should be done within a half an hour after you receive this email (634 MB total). This is the format that I am converting everything to for Boxee. It also plays on iPhones/The Web & lot of other stuff. Not sure if it plays on our DVD players like other Divx .avi files. Maybe it will play over your network on the TiVo, that would be cool & similar to how I use it via Boxee. The quality setting I use makes about 350 MB per 1 hr of video. I find this to be a good size/quality compromise.

Let me know how this works out for you. I am actually watching most of the movies you give me this way so the full 4.2 GB is kind of a waist for me. I end up converting it anyway with Handbreak. Maybe in the future you could just do this to the movies and give me 4 per disk or just give them to me on a thumb drive for me to archive. This would save a little money on all the damn disks. Also at which point is it stupid to pay $20 for a 100pk of DVD-Rs. roughly (4.2 GB per disk) that gives you only 420 GB of disposable storage. When you can get a 1 TB Hard Drive of much more reliable versatile storage for $80?

I finally found the Firefox pluggin that I have been looking for: Flashblock 1.5.11.2

It is not quite as elegant as the Mac only ClickToFlash for Safari, but works the same way. This stops the FLASH from loading and replaces it with a FLASH icon. If you want to see the FLASH you click the icon plain and simple.

Why you ask? Well, FLASH is often used on sites for ridiculous eye candy or even ads. This is not necessarily the content you wish to see so why waste the bandwidth to load it. Instead make the content you want load quicker and be on your way. Also in case you are not aware of it there is quite the Anti-FLASH movement out there now. This is spurred mostly by the iPhone and upcoming iPads lack of support for FLASH. Here is a link to a great post by Adobe’s John Nack of the other side of the debate.

Although I am annoyed when I can’t view a site on my iPhone this really isn’t affecting me at all. Not since I have just been blocking FLASH when I am not on my iPhone and when I am I am annoyed for a second then simply move on.

Subject: Bud light- Clothing drive

And some stupid SOB sold the company to the Dutch . This company is a national treasure if only for their commercials.

This has to make you laugh. People’s ingenuity is fantastic!

Bud Light | “Clothing Drive”

I know I sure learned a lot from this.

This one made me laugh when I saw it. I love how he found it necessary to take his shirt off first.
