I've been meaning to move the worthwhile posts from my old blog over to this one for a while now, and I finally got started. It turns out that there was really only one worthwhile post over there. I'm pretty happy with this tutorial for screen, although I want to rework it a little bit to publish it here.
Here's the original post, hopefully soon to be revamped and over here.

If you're (like me) too crappy to make it past the fourth Zerg mission of the original, read this synopsis instead to get all caught up.
"Well, if we haven't gotten past venerating people who don't know anything, we've certainly reduced, I'd argue, the degree to which we stigmatize people for knowing a lot."

Andy owns two Flips (I dunno why. because he's Andy.) so he let me borrow one, and we're doing this video-making competition sort of thing. It's not really that much of a competition, more like a call-and-response project. Anyway, it's over here and I think we're gonna have some cool stuff up there by the time we decide to call it quits.
