Macstories has the story on this excellent app, that I have been a fan of for sometime, which has been rechristened Documents, and made even more powerful, with the ability to play audio and video.I have used this app for sometime, and pretty much use it and iBooks for my document needs.
I found this article at How-To Geek after having a lot of trouble with my personal copy of Chrome I am using at work (I use Chrome Portable in a password protected disk image that I cary on a USB Key, and of course my LastPass installs all use Google Authenticator for login anyway) since it has a much newer version of flash.I did switch it up and disable the local copy of Chrome instead of my browser version, and I have stopped getting the Shockwave crash, though it has done nothing for my issues with Amazon Cloud Player, that I have been having (and recently documented).EDIT: Ha, didn't work. Maybe I do need to disable Chrome's Flash Plug In.
Filmmaker IQ has a great article on making your own Gorilla Pod.
movieScope Magazine has a very cool interview with Visual Effects legend Douglas Trumbull on HFR. Makes it sound like Cameron's 60FPS HFR will be much more impressive than the Hobbit's 48 FPS, and he hopes the studios don't pull it because of the negative press HFR has been getting.I have to agree that I hope it doesn't get pulled either as I liked 48, just couldn't get over the keystone cops effects that it gave me throughout the Hobbit.
Larry Jordan has an article on just how impressed he is with the new iMac for editing. He tricked out a system and it does sound pretty impressive.
Down to 247.7, that means another 1.2 pounds in a day! I have never had results like this from a diet, EVER!And I am doing the same exercise I was doing pre-diet! 30 minutes on treadmill and some kettlebells, though that is being supplemented by going on the subway, which adds at least 3500 steps in a day, plus lots of stairs. Soon though it will warm up and I will start doing the big 2.1 walk around the Veterans center again. Biggest problem right now is I start out so cold and then end ups sweating (though now I am sweating in the heat of the subway).This is a diet I think all post operative patients who need to lose some weight should consider! I mean I have never seen anything like it!
Saw this at filmmaker IQ. Sounds like Magic, but it adapts Canon EOS lenses to APS-C, and because it uses all the light and the whole frame it is actually added a stop of light and making it sharper. Almost magic!Too bad they don't have it for EOS to EOS for ES lens to APS-C instead of for SONY NEX.You can pre-order from Metabones.
Wow, am so impressed with this diet. One week now. Lost another pound and a half yesterday, bringing me to an impressive 9 pounds lost in 7 days! WOW!And with such impressive results I don't want to stop. It would be great to get under 200 pounds in the next 6 months, and that no longer seems hard! In fact I could get back to 175 by years end if the weight loss effect does not significantly slow down. I mean even at 5 pounds a week that would be 15 weeks! Wow! One can only hope.Will keep updating, but so far I am so impresse by this diet, and think it is the perfect thing to start losing weight after a septal myectomy, especially because it is so easy! I wish I had gone right into when I started really eating again in my recovery so I never gained the weight back I initially lost!
VideoCopilot announced the free update to Element 3D, v1.5 which includes a real-time glow feature and will be out next week! Woohoo!And they say 3D shadows won't be till version 2, but this still sounds awesome.Just having started playing with this plug in recently I have been blown away by it's power! This makes Invigorator Pro 3D seem useless, with it's antiquated interface and slow as can be rendering.
So I had mentioned in my last surgery update that I was starting the 8 Hour Diet, and I wanted to give a little update on it. I don't want to get into the controversy over the book, as it seems that the diet might have been stolen from a Martin Berkhan at leangains. Even if the initial diet was, there is a whole lot of research in this book, and so far I am very impressed, especially with my results.Post surgery I had lost some weight, but I have managed to put it on, and more, and gained another 12 pounds over the holidays! Youch! So I had actually gotten up to 258, by far the heaviest I have ever been! I had been around 235 for while, which was way too much (would like to get back to at least 200, and 175 would be better, though my face did look a bit gaunt last time I was around there, though I still had a belly).Anyway, I have been doing this diet for 6 days now, and have already gotten down to 250.5. And while I was mostly eating well , I lost 1.3 pounds on Sunday and had a footlong Subway sandwich for lunch and a small dairy queen ice cream cone, and gumbo with rice for dinner! Now I did walk a lot around the mall, but still! So far I am blown away.And I used to not eat breakfast, but it has been since my wife convinced me I should eat breakfast that I started to, and since she comes home from work so late also eating late that I have really packed on the pounds! I just hope that as the book says your body does not get used to this diet and stop, it just keeps going, because I can see myself staying on my diet for the rest of my life!I mean you should still eat well, but you can eat some bad things too and still lose weight, and if even half of the benefits it claims are true, lowering cholesterol, helping diabetes heart disease and even cancer! I am so in, and will continue with this diet.And I am going 7 days a week, while it says you can get a benefit from only 3, but I would rather get my body back used to the no breakfast at all thing (I was mostly just having smoothies with protein powder, but I still do think if I ate breakfast I was hungrier all day).Now I going to eat a little more at work, as I was bringing a salad and a half, but am now bringing 2 salads, 1 for noon and 1 for around 4, as I get pretty damn hungry, and 3 apples. Been chewing a little sugar free gum too as I get really hungry from about 11 AM till 12pm when I have my lunch, but so far the results are stunning.THIS IS THE BEST DIET I HAVE EVER…
