DeSoto

My Dad is selling his 1946 DeSoto Sedan. He's had it for quite a while, but apparently now it's got to go. It's a really cool classic car, but my Dad just can't put the work into it that it needs. Anyway, it's up on craigslist with some photos.

Anyone interested?

HDTV

Recently I had an opportunity to record some HDTV on my computer. I did this with a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950. I was quite impressed with both the strength of the HDTV signal here and also of the quality of the video. Here's a frame of a recent broadcast. I can't wait till I can afford a 1080p flat display (either plasma or lcd is fine for me :)

Aiden vs. the Fan



Aiden seemed really interested in the fan. Don't worry, no animals were hurt as a result of making this film.

Work

Just a quick one, but I ran across the "public"/marketing version of the website of the product that I work on. Here it is in all its glory.

Free Flow Print Server (formally DocuSP)

For those that don't know (and a clarification for those that do) I work on a DFE (Digital Front End) for Xerox production quality printers.

Graduate Studies

Yesterday I finally finished my application for graduate studies in computer science. In case anyone is wondering, I applied at RIT, and here's the link to the program I applied to [link]. I've slowly become aware that a BS degree is just not enough in todays world. Also, I have some sort of strange pull toward education and all educators need graduate degrees. The best part about all of this is that this time I won't be attempting this one on my own. I'll have the help and emotional support of my lovely wife and the financial support of my employer . I only hope that I am accepted and can continue my studies.
