the_source review
the_source is a video podcast (vidcast? netcast?) concerned mostly with open source. The show is of high quality and they pride themselves with only using open source software to produce it (they use Cinelerra, now renamed Lumiera which seems to a very nice non-linear video editor for Linux). Their episodes are high quality, and even…

Something fun for Friday the 13th
From Jonathan Coulton’s blog (you know, the Codemonkey guy): Kutiman, an Israeli musician, has put together an astonishing funk piece by sampling pieces of YouTube videos. You can see the first video below, for more visit thru-you.com (also, the site is a visual experience in itself, definitely worth visiting). An other interesting fan-made music video…

10 Things about Hard Drives: Also check out the guy’s YouTube page, because it contains two other interesting videos from the domain of data recovery (and he seems to be somebody who actually knows what he is talking about when it comes to hard drives, not like some other people). Tyler Pitchford – They Took…

A free, open-source, cross platform alternative to VirtualDub
I’ve been a long fan on VirtualDub, a great linear video-editing software (and it is also free and open source). The only thing which bothered me was the limited number of input/output formats supported. There were some forks of it, but they pretty much died off. However in the latest full circle magazine I think…

Instruction Manual for Life
Via Neural Market Trends: It is worth watching, and it went in a totally different direction than I anticipated after the first seconds.

Also, some new blogs I’ve subscribed to: Nothing for Ungood Threat Research Craigrow DebugInfo Black Magic Code Also, somebody seems to have had a lot of free time: (The idea is that you can put links…
