Yeah, I figure I will. I have tons of cassettes but don't really listen to them much anymore. There's a whole box of them I haven't opened since my *last* move a year ago.

Ah, yes, well, you're right. Have at it.

Setting the base video to 100% opacity, with an Alpha+RGB channel Gaussian Blur of Radius 1 and a brightness and contrast reduced to -79 and -100, respectively, then setting the overlay video to 52% opacity, with a b/w tint at 100, and finally rendering it. No one else in the world is doing exactly that, with 92% and two minutes to go right now.

For the record, I'm using Final Cut to do something vaguely the video analogue of film's double interpositive processing. The color track alone looks very FUBAR, and the other track is essentially half transparent b/w, but it looks mahvelous when put together.

Riding in a plane above uhm...hang on lemmi look...the ocean, posting on this board and praying the annoying baby doesn't cry anymore so my head can stop pounding.

Flipping heck, aren't you having to pay huge rates for plane net access?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah..but I don't personally pay it..so i'm not really gonna worry about it

Smoking marjoram and playing 'A Kind of Hush' backwards for the hidden lyrics.

Nice. Indulge, I say.

Boeing is testing a wi-fi connection thingy on some int'l flights for a pretty impressive flat rate: something like $29.95 for trans-Atlantic crossings. Not quite certain how many companies are on board, but I believe Lufthansa is trying it.

― m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

So you can post on your New York to Johannesburg flight for hours and hours about how fucking bored you are and how much you need a smoke? Give me liquor and pills any day. Might even make my posts more intelligble.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

The liquor is free on those flights! Best of both worlds! As it were.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I sure can. Makes time go by...i try to get bombed before i get on the flight...makes it more enjoyable.

― Ash, Friday, 21 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

This Is the Thread Where We Post Drunk From a Transatlantic Flight and Everyone Applauds Before We Blow Chunks in the Little Baggie

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not drunk...I was about 4 hours ago though...when i boarded this damn thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took mushrooms once before a flight to Tokyo. Not an experience I would recommend to anyone who isn't already insane. It actually made the flight seem longer.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Depending on your frame of mind that could be a very interesting flight. Can you imagine landing in Tokyo and being on drugs?! Shit that place is mesmerizing not on drugs...

― Ash, Friday, 21 May 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I got bored after the bad paranoia dissipated and the whole electric rat race Tokyo vibe isn't well suited to 'shrooms for me at least. I have very bad memories of Narita.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I can see that...
