ScreenCast Featuring Git and Screenflow
Wow, real content! Here I throw together a screencast at the last minute to demo ScreenFlow, an excellent screencasting application on the MacIntosh and talk a little bit about what I’ve learned about Git.
I also get to play a little bit with Blip.TV, Cote style.

RIP Randy Rhoads
Today is the 26th anniversary of the death of Randy Rhoads. What better way to remember him than an 8 minute guitar solo from the Quiet Riot days? You’ll find a lot of familiar pieces in this solo. Enjoy - and RIP Randy.
I also have pictures of the grave site from a trip I took back in 2005. You can find a lot more at the Diary of an Axeman web site - the definitive site on the net for Randy Rhoads “stuff”.

Dr. Randy Pausch Farewell Lecture at Carnegie Mellon University
Jonna recorded an episode of Oprah in which Dr. Pausch, a Computer Science professor suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer, gives his “farewell lecture”, apparently an exercise at the university where you give a lecture acting as if it was your last. In this case it is. Dr. Pausch provides an extremely inspirational message.
This video is basically a series of excerpts, but inspiring nonetheless.
The university has a page where you can order the lecture on DVD. You can also visit Dr. Pausch’s personal site.
Update 10/29/2007
Tom the Architect points to what looks like the full session from his del.icio.us links.

Video: How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too)
Since getting a 80G iPod about a month ago two weeks ago, I’ve been really getting into watching the Google Tech Talks on Google Video. I recently watched How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too), a lecture given by Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman from the Subversion team (now both Google employees) that summarizes a lot of information in Karl Fogels book Producing Open Source Software: How to Run a Successful Free Software Project.
If you haven’t had time to pick up and read Karls book, this video would be a good primer to some of the concepts in it and could very well motivate you to pick it up. Its an excellent book and one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

24th Anniversary of Rhoads Death
Plane Crash Kills Rock Guitarist
A small plane crashed into a mansion and burst into flames Friday, killing the lead guitarist of the Ozzy Osbourne rock group and two other people, police said. The plane twice buzzed the house, where the rock group was staying, and on a third pass clipped the rock group’s tour bus and a tree, then slammed into the two-story colonial home, officials said. Killed were guitarist Randall Rhoads, 25, pilot Andrew Aycock, 36, and Rachel Youngblood, 58, the group’s makeup artist and hairdresser, said Lake County Deputy Sheriff Mike Smalt. All were aboard the plane. Osbourne - known for such stage antics as biting off the head of a live bat - was in the bus but was not hurt, Smalt said. Several other group members escaped unhurt from the mansion before it was gutted by flaming gasoline that spewed from the Beechcraft Bonanza, officials said. Rhodes and Ms. Youngblood were from Los Angeles, Smalt said. Smalt said Aycock lived at Flying Baron Estates, the wealthy, private airport community about three miles east of Leesburg where the crash occurred. The group was staying at the mansion before a concert scheduled for Orlando today. Members of the group quickly left the crash site and it was not known whether they would perform. Jack Barker, Atlanta regional spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the FAA flew an investigator to the scene Friday. He said the National Safety Transportation Board also would investigate. The bus - outfitted with plush chairs, video games and a stereo system - was punctured by the wing of the aircraft.
I found this Behind the Music video on YouTube and thought it was cool.

- A one hour analysis of 9/11 and how it is more likely than not that the government was actually behind the attacks. I heard about this on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code. This is a really well done documentary. No matter what you believe, you’ll be fully engaged by watching this video. This one is going to cause me to leave the house an hour after I scheduled myself to leave for work this morning. I’m totally sucked in. Comments Off
