That's right freaks, the 60th anniversary of the 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, NM is coming up. It takes place over the July 4th holiday weekend and goes for 4 days. Visit the Roswell UFO Festival website for more information. The city is expecting over 50,000 people from around the world to attend this years event. I started a thread over at Mysterious Universe for anyone who'd like to get together and do some activities.

I don't think I've been so excited about a single product. Ever!  But when Steve Jobs announced the Apple TV on January 9th 2007, I was jumping for joy. Finally, a company understood what it was that I wanted to do with my media, for starters anyway. 

So after a long delay in February, I finally receive an email from the Apple Store saying that my order has finally shipped. I was immediately thrilled, until I scrolled down and noticed the only thing being shipped was the HDMI cable I ordered with it. Damn it! Looks like I've gotta hurry up and wait some more.

In a follow up article, I'll discuss the entire process, in detail, on how to get professional results out of ripping a DVD and encoding it for use on the Apple TV. After over 100 test encodes, I've finally have the workflow and specifications down.
