Steve sent me a link to this Honda ad that is quite impressive to say the least. The site says that there is no computer minipulation at all, just 606 takes.

*Maybe a technically true statement, but I know I will definately be buying a new computer sometime down the road. But back to my main point... I bought a new Dell Dimension^TM XPS, and to my suprise it arrived today. When I made the purchase I though Dell said to expect it on June 6th or something like that.

Quick Spec List:

• Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz (800 MHz FSB)
• 1 GB Dual Channel DDR SDRAM
• 200GB Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive
• 128MB DDR ATI RADEON^TM 9800 Graphics Card
• Sound Blaster Audigy^TM2 Sound Card
• WinXP Pro w/ MS Plus! Digital Media Edition
• 48x CD-RW Drive and 16x DVD-ROM Drive

So that's a serious machine. I have yet to turn it on. I will soon enough, but I have to finish up work, and then mow the lawn (such is life, but I just bought a new lawnmower I have to test out too). My first impressions of the new machine are: 1) It's heavier than I thought (no weight spec yet) 2) I thought the video card had a TV tuner, I was hoping to use it as a DVR, but I was wrong (I need to look at external options for this task, or an internal card that wont interfere with the 9800).

**You can leave machine name ideas in the comments section, however... since naming my machines (and hard drives) has been a personal thing to me in the past, I will prolly choose one on my own. Ideas are nice and welcomed though.

It apears that someone found video footage of a guy displaying his light saber "skillz" on a school camera. This page has both the original footage, and a "remixed" version that someone created with light and sound effects. Hilarity at it's best. [ via Metapop ]
