Two new shows for Evolution Entertainment HD
First is a show I hobbled together for Evolution Entertainment, called the Green Report and it's about green technology and climate change.
Episode 1 is about Google's efforts. Enjoy the show.
Next is a show from my buddy Carlos Rodriguez. He is the creator and producer. 100Miles is about life in the central valley of California. Hosted by Travis Ross. It basically a road trip with muscled Travis and some hot girls.

Vista forgets how many monitors I have
Today was kinda funny and annoying.
End of the day, packing up to leave the office, I discovered that Vista lost one of my monitors in my dual monitor configuration.
I asked the office mates if anyone has seen that. Sure enough, they had it happen to them last week.
A quick reboot solved the problem, but I never had that problem with XP.

My Journey upgrading to Vista
I upgraded to Microsoft Vista this week on my office computer. It wasn't as bad as some in the tech media would have you believe.
All the applications I use seemed to work fine, here the list of things I use in my daily office computing:
1. MS Office Apps
2. MediaCoder
3. Putty
4. Pidgin
5. FireFox
6. VideoLan
7. Quicktime
8. Trillian
Also, the bonus is that my old desktop gets promoted to my primary Linux desktop running Ubuntu.
My only question, where is the "WOW" in the Microsoft commercials? I was unimpressed with UI improvements and I turned off the annoying asking me security thingy as I am admin on it.

Making progress on the dollar coin experiment
Spent a bunch of dollar coins today in various businesses explaining the cost of the paper dollar vs. dollar coin programs.
People are pretty blown away at how many were minted this year. $700+ million worth and the cost to produce dollar bills $500 million.
The kids like them too, one commented to me today that they were like gold dubloons. He wanted to use those instead of paper money.
So there is a little bit of a pirate in all of us.

Got my back zapped
Had a Lumbar radio frequency neurotomy done today.
Watch the animation if you are not squeamish.
Basically, they cooked the nerves in my back!
This should help my chronic back pain.
I had one of these done on my left side 2 years ago.
This time was on the right side at L3,4,5.

NWFF Loves the Dollar Coin
Spent $3 at the Northwest Film Forum during a break at my screen writing class.
The concessions staff loved the coins and the idea behind the social experiment to educate people about the coin dollar.
Success!

My ongoing story of the dollar coin experiment
Went to get some more dollar coins from a Washington Mutal bank in Seatle today. They had several $25 rolls of the Thomas Jefferson coins, so I bought $25 worth.
One of the things I have been wondering about is how many of these coins are in actual circulation being used as currency vs. just being collected.
Here are the 2007 numbers:
Washington $340,360,000
Adams $224,560,000
Jefferson $203,610,000
Almost $800 million. Not bad all this considered.
I'll let you know where I spent some of these Jefferson's in upcoming posts
