The New Contenders of the Format Wars: AD-DVD

Lately, there has been a lot of sparring about the latest DVD formats. There is HD-DVD, supported by Microsoft and Toshiba, and Blu-Ray, supported by Sony and Disney, among others. But I want to be the first to introduce (and support) the newest format: AD-DVD. What is AD-DVD? Simply, it's video for those who can't pay attention. All of the best scenes are compressed, sped up by a factor of two, and then played continuously for five minutes. In this fashion, people get the plot of the movie, and some of the funniest scenes, in chipmunk voices, and they aren't wasting time. For example, the 300 version: the "This is Sparta!" scene, followed up by, "Tonight, we dine, in Hell!", repeated. The audio and video quality is the same as a standard DVD, and can be created using the same means as a DVD. The upside is that it is cheaper. The first retailer for this new format will be exclusively sold at the upcoming YouTube store.

Music Libary

I love completing my music library. In fact, I am downright neurotic about it. Every single song needs to be filled out EXACTLY. I think I am somewhat obsessive-compulsive about it. So yesterday, I start using Cover Flow in iTunes. So I was inspired. For the next three hours (or so), I found album art for every single one of my songs. So I do that, and then I get inspired. I see all of this music, by all of these artists, and I say to myself, "All these great songs, and I listen to a small few of them!" So now I am really enjoying the variety I have in my library. I go from the poppy nerdcore "Fett's Vette" by MC Chris to the dark, evil "Davy Jones" by Hans Zimmer. And after that, I hit a remix of Panic! At the Disco's "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage" (that is why I hate P!AtD) off the Snakes on a Plane Soundtrack. It just is so fun rediscovering all of my music.

Deaths at Disney

Now, there have been at least three (3) deaths at Disney World in the last year. Two died after riding Mission: SPACE, and one died after riding Rock n' Roller Coaster. Now, look at me here. People have said that those rides aren't safe. Completely untrue. The problem isn't the ride, it is the riders. Everyone who has died has some problem. At any given time, there are at least five (5) different warnings on Mission: SPACE telling you NOT to go on the ride if there is anything (anything) wrong with you. See, it's all just a matter of, Disney is so popular, there are bound to be deaths. Now, for the crackpot ideas: None of the victims are from the US. Wrong to think (actually, the RnR coaster was from Kentucky, but his father just came back from Iraq), but completely true. Second, I was there after one of the Mission: SPACE deaths, it was awesome. Why? No lines. Again, wrong to think about, but completely correct. Now, for my last idea; the DDL. Disney Death Lotto. You play it like roulette, betting on date, or ride, or both. $1 a ticket.
