I'm on vacation!
Ok, I'll effectively be away from computers for two weeks. The first week, I'll be with Carrick and cousins at Pacific City on the Oregon coast (again). The second week, I'll be at my parents for a mini family reunion.

Resampling video for (S)Video CDs using mencoder
I found this difficult to find on the 'net so am sharing it below. This code will use mencoder (part of the mplayer project) to resample the file specified by the 1st command-line argument into a properly encoded (S)VCD file which will be given the name of the 2nd command-line argument.
#!/bin/sh
mencoder \
-oac lavc \
-ovc lavc \

mini-reunion complete!
This weekend, Carrick and I spent the weekend with my mother and mother's sister's families (all the cousins and such) at Lincoln City, OR. It was a crappy drive, about 6 hours one-way from here in Seattle but it was a delightful destination and celebration.
This time was noteable because I seemed to be able to be myself more of the time. Several times I had the group laughing. One cousin mentioned she couldn't remember laughing so hard in a long, long time. My fat seal impersonation at the pool seemed to be particularly pleasing to the family. Other onlookers evidently were scared off but, as I see it, it was their loss :)

Matt Smith video for Seattle viaduct
"Nickels tries satire to drum up interest in waterfront tunnel" Matt Smith is an improv god. In this video he uses satire to support Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels' plan to replace the viaduct with a park and stuff.
