He’s just as indecisive as I am, so he aired both.

And the photos themselves:

First video project on the new Vista PC. I did love my hand-me-down Powerbook while it lasted (thx Matt), but I just couldn’t justify the cost of replacing it with another Mac. I already miss rebooting monthly instead of daily.

Wow, Sony Vegas is surprisingly intuitive. I’ve hit a couple stumbling blocks so far (can’t get DivX to encode), but for a pro editing suite, the learning curve is pretty gentle.

Music (so to speak): Biosphere, “As the Sun Kissed the Horizon”
