final cut express…

i’ve been working on bringing in some footage from some dv tapes.  it’s pretty craptastic of a product - or at least the computer and external hd that I am using are.  the hard drive keeps “sleeping” (never buy an external seagate drive) and FCE keeps crashing.  i’ve been looking for a solution online to streamline the dv cassette capture and export process - but with minimal luck.  if you don’t want to do any editing, save adding a video title, then where are the products that let you plop in a tape and spit out a finished .mov file?

mobile excitement

there’s a lot of movement in the mobile marketplace.  i had been keeping tabs on development projects out there - but the rise of many companies in the last six months is beginning to get to a fever pitch.  have you read theponderingprimate.blogspot.com?

great blog with loads of great information.  i’m happy to see that so many companies are now pushing their own implementation of 2-d barcodes. it’s not just the readers that have gotten better - but the technology too.  the application of these technologies is pretty wide open.  the gap between the mobile and real world is closing - just like they said it was ten years ago.
