I have a dorky laugh

...but if you can get over that, the TWiM (updated link) podcast turned out great. They haven't updated the site yet (busy week for those cats), but it's available on their feed.

In other news, the response to the Rebel Café has been great. Big ups to the participants!

Rebel's Guide on TWiM

I had the great pleasure of joining the This Week in Media crew on their excellent podcast today. The episode goes live in the next couple of days.

If you're reading this blog but not listening to TWiM, you are missing out. It's the best conversation going on the radical changes in media that are happening right under our noses. To get a taste, dig back in their archives to TWiM 16, which stands to this day as the best recorded summary of the perenial "film vs. video" question.

I'm thrilled to be on the show. We talked about The Guide, Colorista, Red, and a couple other things.

Make PNGs Not Suck

Mac users, read The Sad Story of PNG Gamma, and then download GammaSlamma.

In short, PNG is a potentially useful file format hampered by a well-intentioned but disasterous attempt at simple color management. But when you remove the bogus Gamma flag from a PNG file, you've got an elegant and free cross-platform lossless image format.

Windows users can aparently strip out PNG Gamma flags with PNGCRUSH.

I've tested neither of these, so please let me know if they work for you!
