Okay, I admit it. I have been razzle-dazzled by the unbelievable shininess of MovableType. This, compounded with my frustration with the drupal upgrade process, has let me to a precarious position – do I stick with what I’ve spent nearly a year using, or do I throw caution to the wind and move to MT?

Although it may be hard to tell (since I’ve done SUCH a spiffy job of recreating my theme; or, alternately, you never read my blog anyhow), this is MovableType. As usual, there is content I haven’t moved over yet – particularly the book pages and the quotefile. But all the blog entries are here, the blogroll is sort of here, and all in all, it’s not that radical of a change.

Which makes me quite happy.

If you see anything really screwed up (banner at the top looks completely wrong, sidebar going too long, etc), please, let me know immediately.

From Boing Boing:
Just how easy is it to email a HD movie? – The FCC closed its reply comments period for the dreaded braodcast flag mandate last night. This is the proposal that argued that digital television would immediately “Napsterize” any movie broadcast over DTV, since everyone knows that digital files can be copied instanteously. In fact, the MPAA and its allies argued just that in the initial comments on the docket, and asked to therefore be put in charge of the designs of all DTV devices. So Raffi Krikorian, an MIT Media Lab student, undertook a series of empirical experiments to determine the plausibility of the MPAA’s claims about the ease with which 30GB files can be emailed to your pals. The results were filed with the FCC last night, and they’re high-larious. Don’t miss it.

Forget the White Stripes doing videos with Legos – the video for DJ Format’s “We Know Something…” is the single coolest thing I’ve seen in ages.

We need more videos like this.
