Hey, Beck, you can give blood.

Hey Par, I got the Asus TV FM Card 7135, which I hear is alright, but is not compatible with Windows Media Center. However, there are many other programs that work with it, and I'm hoping someday I can get MythTV to work with it.

But if you want the cream of crop in Video Capture, you want to buy something by Hauppauge. Their cards are compatible with everything, and they have built in mpeg 2 encoders on the card, so your CPU wont feel a thing.

Because Tony asked, and because I'm using any excuse not to write my report, Arrested Development's season premiere is, according to Omniscience Incarnate (a.k.a. Wikipedia), September 19th.

Also, for the curious, Family Guy and American Dad resume September 11th. Veronica Mars' season premiere September 28th. 24 is back some time in January.

Pete, let me know how that TV Tuner card works out for you. I think I might just pick one up. I wouldn't want to have to leave my room just to watch hockey.

While I'm at the TV thing, someone put up an old ep of Conan on bit torrent featuring a much younger Jon Stewart, Bill Murray talking about Rushmore, and The Boss giving Max Weinberg a send-off before the two head off on tour together.

Good idea Pete!
I haven't had a copy of the videos yet so that would be sweet!

Hey Andy,

Do you have copies of all of the movies we've made in the past? You know, Mexican, Catalina, and the Glory of Heaven (that was it's name right?). I ask because this weekend I discovered that my copy of Mexican has dissapeared, which got me thinking that perhaps we should do something to prevent other copies from dissapering. This weekend I bought a TV Tuner card for my PC for $30 from Melissa's Brother-In-Law, and I started to think, "I should transfer all of our videos onto the computer, the we could finally edit the last movie, and I could burn DVDs of the movies for everyone!"

So, perhaps sometime we should get together and put everything on the computer. If we can find the original copies of most films, we could get the highest quality videos. Maybe we could even get together again and make a comentary track to add to the DVD.

oh yeah and the Medicine shit sounds good. the guitars and samples/fieldrecordings came through nicely in the recording. i would have liked to hear more snare however

"An Impromptu Interview with Death From Above 1979

I know it's not obvious from the posts, but Riff Raff can get a bit OCD. Like this morning, when the riff wagon went cruising for hotel breakfast. I was anxious to sit in the same seat I've had for two days in a row now, only to find this morning, that in the seat was the drummer from Death From Above 1979, sucking down some yogurt.

Well isn't this just great. I don't like having to be put on the spot, but if this guy's going to make me interview him, I'll just put up with it.

Are you a dude in a band.

...

It's OK, you can smile.

What band?

Death From Above

...

1979?

I'm in that band, yes.

This wasn't going anywhere--DFA79 guy wasn't going to give me his seat unless I asked him explicitly. So I got up the gall and did. Here goes:

I love you guys.

Thanks.

It's OK, I'll sit somewhere else.
