HandBrake 0.9.3 Video Encoder →
This is great news! HandBrake now supports almost any video format input (not just DVDs now) allowing you to re-encode almost any video including normally troublesome formats like OGM and MKV with subtitles and multi-track audio. Great for putting Anime etc on your iPod or PS3 etc. Update: It would seem that subtitles are not yet supported in video files, only DVDs. Hopefully they add that...

The Killers - Day & Age $3.99 Amazon MP3 today... →
The Killers brand new album. It’s well worth your money. I’ve had it for a few days now illegally, (couldn’t wait) but totally upgraded to a legal higher quality copy today for $3.99, and would gladly pay full price for it. I really enjoy this album. My review I wrote for Amazon: The Killers keep it fresh, November 24, 2008 Once again The Killers new album has it’s own...

Just saw 'The Island' for the first time
I had heard Michael Bay’s 2005 Sci-Fi thriller The Island was good but never got around to seeing it until last night via Netflix. As a Sci-Fi action movie fan I was very impressed with just about everything about the movie; the story, cast, cinematography, and music is all great. I gave it a 5/5 on Netflix. It’s very much in the same vein as The Matrix and Dark City, also favorites...

Attempted scam on my For Sale 15" MacBook Pro

My reply: Thanks for your interest. Yes the MacBook Pro is still available. I prefer not to ship, however I’d be willing to if you were to pay all the shipping expenses and pay through PayPal...

Awful 1st Experience: Netflix Streaming on Xbox...
I had eagerly been awaiting yesterday’s Xbox 360 NXE (Next Xbox Experience) update to gain access to Netflix instant streaming to my 40” TV. I gave it my first try last night watching National Treasure 2 with my girlfriend. Everything started out smooth and I was impressed by the best non-HD quality video it had determined  my connection could allow me, it was like watching a...

Yesterday night I just had to put the new 1080p Star Trek and Watchmen trailers on my PlayStation 3 so I could enjoy the new trailers on my 40” 1080p TV at near Blu-Ray quality. The best source for 1080p trailers is Apple.com/trailers. (If you don’t have QuickTIme pro to save the trailers you can use this site http://www.davestrailerpage.co.uk) I use MediaLink to get my video files...

Watch Star Trek TOS online →
In honor of the new movie trailer, I thought it would make sense to link to CBS.com streaming Star Trek episodes. Make sure you turn off your AD blocking software if you have any problems getting them to play. Sadly they don’t have the pilot episode.

[Impressions] Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)
My girlfriend got me Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS) this weekend. So far I’ve only spent about 2 hours playing the game but I’ve really been enjoying the game and can highly recommend it to anyone who owes a DS and enjoys Castlevania games. The main difference between this Castlevania game and past games is that the game is broken-up into separate areas on a world map instead...

(Amazon MP3) $8.99 for 11 versions of the theme song from Mirror’s Edge. I think I’ll grab the original version at least. Update: I grabbed all the versions that weren’t “short” or radio edits (6 tracks) with Pepsi points.

Noobie first impressions with the Korg DS-10...
First I want to be clear that I’m a total noobie to synthesizers and I have very little music background. I just have an ear for music, and enjoy good techno and electronic music. So I’m coming to the Korg DS-10 (for the Nintendo DS) with no prior experience, only a knack for using and learning software. The interface of small text and lots of little knobs can be slightly daunting...

EventBox for Mac OS X →
Is a ($20) shareware app that integrates popular social network sites (Twitter, Flickr, Pownce, Facebook, Digg etc) into a slick single interface. I’m giving it a test run now, so far I might think about registering if a few features are added such as; posting to multiple services at once (ie Twitter + Pownce) and the promised slim HUD interface.

Smashing Pumpkins G.L.O.W. Single on iTunes... →
However the tracks are DRM protected low 128 kbps quality, and that makes me sad… I wouldn’t mind the DRM so much if they were 256 kbps. Right now the only other place to get the single is on Guitar Hero. It’s only $1.49 so I’ll deal with it for now.
