Grumpy Old Fool

I know it’s a bit early, but here at the Jersey Shore we’ve had a rough few weeks, and it continues to be rough for a lot of people. So here’s my annual bit of Christmas cheer. NOTE: before showing this to small children, I’d watch it myself.

Here's a brief video I shot last night. Madame Leota was entertaining the crowds from the Haunted Mansion's front lawn. I apologize for the back-lighting, but the iPhone has no exposure controls.

Ever wish that you were a castmember / ride operator in a Disney park? themagical.nl has developed simulation games that can make that happen! so far, you can operate Phantom Manor, Peter Pan’s Flight, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Expedition Everest, Rock’n Rollercoaster, Mission: Space, Millionaire: Play it! and Tower of Terror.

For those of you who are interested in such things, with all of the controversy over Final Cut Pro X (which admittedly I haven't even seen as yet), I decided to give Adobe Premiere Pro a try, and edited the August episode of "Mouse Flicks" with it. There's a lot that I like, and a few things (such as that it's not completely stable on a very fast i7 iMac) that I really don't like. Not sure if I'll use it again.
