WTF George Lucas?!?

Back when I worked at the music company, I got access to the Star Wars music box set and was annoyed by how it was missing Yub Nub. Today on random, I discover that they did include an all new song, Jedi Rocks.

Really? I can’t get my cuteness-overload of Ewok celebration, but I can get a cheesetastic 80′s rock revisioning?

Dave Richmond – Movin’ Along

Another never-knew-I-had-it-random-find, Dave Richmond – Movin’ Along.
A little 70′s folk-rock-synth-y bit of joy, if you aren’t whistling the chorus, you might as well go back to bed, you’re just too depressed for the rest of the world.

Love me the way I love you

Winter comes and snow
I can’t marry you, you know
Without children to grow
I can’t marry you, you know

Love me the way I love you

Someone came up with a decent xvid/divx player for the iPad, and it’s even free. CineXPlayer seems to totally rock, in my limited testing so far. It lets you load movies via the iTunes file sharing system, doesn’t require pre-conversion, supports seeking forward without losing audio sync, resumes from where you left off. Once I get home, I’ll have to thrown some more unusual avi’s at it, see what it makes of them.

Running the WoW client with video recording at max resolution got my new iMac’s CPU fan to kick into overdrive. At first I thought something had gone crazy with the Ventrilo client, and it was just generating static, but when I muted sound and it kept making noise, I realized what I was actually hearing.

On the plus side, it means this iMac won’t burn out essential parts like the last one did, cause it’s fan refuses to ever turn on, much less go into overdrive. On the down side, once the new iMac’s fan turns on, the only way to get it to stop is to put the box to sleep. Even when all the temp indicators had gone down to well below where it usually idles just fine, the fan just kept on screaming.

Yeah, apple hardware is so much better than the PC world. [HAMBURGER]

Oh, and Comcast is being all flakey when I try to upload the 808MB video from stormwind, to youtube, so still waiting on that one.

I bought a Flip Ultra HD, a little flash-based 720p camcorder. It was the last one in stock, so it was the floor model. It had an amusing video of some of the workers proving a bottle marked “non-flammable” was in fact, quite flammable.
