So, watching the West Wing, I realized that Spoon's "Vittorio E" would make a great vid out of the MS plotline (pre-S3).

Unfortunately, Ubuntu lacks video editing software.

I have news! Though saying "Ubuntu rocks, Microsoft sucks," isn't really newsworthy...

Actually, three kinds of news!

The Great: I found a video editor for Ubuntu that looks like a fancier copy of WMM, so I can make that vid.

The Good: I have ripped all the episodes I need using a totally awesome program called Acidrip. Nice, pretty, .avi files without any torrenting. Ubuntu rocks.

The Bad: Microsoft does not rock. In fact, Microsoft sucks. See, I need to get "Vittorio E" on my laptop to start vidding. The song is on my Zune. When I try to copy it from my Zune, I get a corrupt file that won't play. I don't have another copy of "Vittorio E" anywhere.

So... Um... Anyone have Spoon's "Vittorio E" lying around?

ETA: Got it!

Yes, I know I just posted, but this just came in my inbox.

The National Rifle Association Civil Rights Defense Fund Youth Essay Contest is open to elementary, junior high and high school students. To be eligible, you must submit an essay of about 1,000 words on the topic “The Second Amendment to the Constitution: Why it is important to our nation.”

Call me crazy, but I don't think they'd like any essay I wrote for them. :grins:
