Time Lapse!

So I hooked our 5D MkII up to a spare laptop and captured the following time lapse of our recent speaker install. Unfortunately the HDD I was using started to fail, so there’s some missing data at the beginning and the end, but you get the idea… Speaker Install Timelapse from Kevin Dooley on Vimeo.

For the Geeks…

Okay, those of you without geekiness somewhere in you either won’t understand this, or just won’t find it amusing… So, I’ve been trying to set up my work computer to allow me to access it remotely… not just files on it, but if I wanted to log in to it to see if an encode [...]

w00t for battery life!

So I updated to iPhone software 2.1 yesterday… And I don’t really care what other improvements it brought… Because battery life is GREATLY improved – I’m talking it wasn’t on the charger at all yesterday or last night and I still had half the battery left this morning! Which is a huge change from keeping [...]

It was [...]

A Requiem for FairPlay

Fairplay is the digital rights management created by Apple and it’s used on all of iTunes Store purchases (with the exception of non-DRM’d iTunes Plus purchases). Ever since version 5 or so of iTunes, no one has been able to crack it. Now, I don’t need to crack DRM to pirate music (there’s easier ways [...]

Okay, I’ve had enough. I can’t figure it out and I’ve gotta know. If your iTunes library at Lake Pointe is named Dwight Schrute’s Hardcore Jams, please email me and let me know who you are. Also, let me know what’s so bad in your library that it has to be locked… I mean it [...]

A Mac tip…

Okay, I don’t know about the other mac users that read this thing… but for me, there is only one view for my finder windows.  If a window opens in another view, it instantly gets changed to the column view.  This view places all the files in order, lets you flow in to folders easily [...]

Yup, I’m a geek.

So I stumbled upon one of the first web sites that I ever built… it’s actually still up, which is kinda funny in and of itself. Anway, back in high school I was really into playing a Sci-Fi role playing game called RIFTS. This was a post-apocalyptic game that mixed technology and magic. I invented [...]

Cross-posting, or Why I’m the coolest guy in my office at 11 o’clock at night!

So I recently caved to peer pressure… cuz I’m a wuss (which is why I work at Initech to begin with) and joined Facebook. I was faced with the very real fact that I would once again have yet another blog/social page that I wouldn’t keep up with… Then I noticed something. A little thing [...]
