Arrested Development Series Finale pitted against Olympic Opening Ceremonies

According to info on TVIV, FOX will be airing the final four episodes of Arrested Development during the same timeslot as he 2006 Turino Olympics opening ceremonies on Friday, February 10th. Go FOX! <sigh>

I am glad that they are being aired at least. I feel it's a shame that they are being aired on an irregular night, and against the Olympics, and to what I can only imagine will be an un-hyped event.

UPDATE: Some related news stories:
FOX doesn't have the balls to official cancel Arrested Development
Showtime does have some interest in picking up the show if FOX let's it go

Stabilized Video

If you haven't already seen these before, you have to check them out. Through a method of taking video that was originally shot unsteadily (like with a hand held cam) and then frame-by-frame digitally remastering them to be aligned in a manner where the main contents of the video no long jump around but instead appear in steady fashion.

Person's have taken the famous Zapruder video of the JFK assassination and stabilized it. MOV 6.45 MB from wfmu.org via boingboing.

Another cool example of stabilizing video is where the supposed Big Foot footage has be put into this animated GIF image (3.97 MB) from bigfootencounters.com via boingboing.

I need to do some more research but I wonder if there is software available that makes the stabilization process simple to do (like simpler to do than spelling stabilization).

HD TV = Scary

For the first time ever I watched TV in HD (Hi Definition)... and all I have to say is that Conan O'Brien is scary looking in HD. I can't wait to see The Office tonight in HD. UPDATE: Just to elaborate a little bit on what was so scary about Conan: You could just see a lot of definition in his face, cracks, pits in his skin, and you could tell the make-up was caked on.
