I just found out that you can mix still images with video clips in iMovie, so I made a little film of last week's Paris trip doing just that. For some reason iMovie does a five second zoom on each photo. Apple calls this the "Ken Burns Effect". Seriously. I suppose we should be thankful they don't force you to add a John Williams score.

Ken Burns Effect

The Ken Burns Effect can be turned off in the upper right hand corner when a photo (or gropu of photos) is selected. This is in the most recent version of iMovie, but I think it was available in older versions as well.

OMG, could there be a more annoying video game than that? I submit that there could not.

That video game is hilarious. The image of a person falling off a Segway is still the funniest thing in the world, though.

Yes, I hardly spoke to you at all at Glassbox, assuming you'd be around at Kumi's... what a shame! Anyway, I'll be back in Paris soon. Nothing planned yet, but later this year for sure.

The American Dromocracy falls flat on its face

...and from the "among other reasons, why it's funny to watch fat Americans bust their asses in Paris while riding Segways" department:

"On the shores across the way, the perpetual transformation of the barbarous esthetic of the mass-produced American car, the provocative excess of its body, of its ornaments, manifest the permanence of the social revolution (progress toward the "American way of life"). But at the same time, this great automobile body has been emasculated, its road holding is defective and its powerful motor is bridled. Just as for the laws on speed limits, we are talking about acts of government, in other words of the political control of the highway, aiming precisely at limiting the "extraordinary power of assult" that motorization of the masses creates..."

"...But no one yet suspected that the "conquest of the freedom to come and go" so dear...could, by a sleight of hand, become an obligation to mobility."

"...Speed is the hope of the West; it is speed that supports the armies' morale. What "makes war convenient" is transportation, and the armored car, able to go over every kind of terrain, erases the obstacles. With it, earth no longer exists. Rather than calling it an "all-terrain" vehicle, they should call it "sans-terrain"..."

I notice that GM and Ford's bonds have just been downgraded to junk status (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000087&sid=ar0Cm.CPxVWM&refer=top_world_news) by Moody's in the US because it's clear that the American companies can't compete with Toyota and Nissan.

That's a telling link, Nick! Perhaps this is just bad dromological karma resulting from the GM Streetcar Conspiracy (http://www.lovearth.net/gmdeliberatelydestroyed.htm) of the 1920s & 30s?

Sorry about botching that HTML. Can I trouble you to fix it?
