Hec's book arrived yesterday! We have been listening to a lot of Mr. Waits in order to properly prep for reading it.
Saw U2 3D last night on the IMAX screen and I
totally
dug it. It really is like having the best seat at a concert--a seat which swoops over the drums, right up to Bono and all over the venue--in crisp, perfect detail. The 3D is used in some cool and non-gimmicky ways too, like overlaying one image over another. Go! See!

Whee! I like a reader that does their homework.

Absolutely brilliant.
Is there any way to rip the music from the vid? That has to go into my outrageous covers playlist....
I never thought I'd say it, but that one guy was really rocking out on the samisen.
If you figure it out, let me know, Theo. I couldn't get any of the usual Firefox add-ins to work. :(
As it turns out, it's dead easy. Just look in your browser's cache directory. You're looking for a file that is exactly 11,060,795 bytes, or 10,802 kilobytes, in size. If your browser retains the file extension (such as Opera does) then it is a .flv file, which MediaPlayerClassic can play on Windows.

Oh, and thanks for the tip Jimi. I found the flv file and converted it to mp3 via a free tool I found on the web.
