Hey, we'll get you there yet! The commute isn't so bad if you take 
Melrose all the way. It's stop-and-go, but moves quickly.

Just so you know, you missed a great meeting last night. We had the 
Pixel Farm folks from London presenting PFTrack. That does motion 
tracking without markers, deduces the position of the camera in 3d space 
from the motion and parallax of the moving image. Great for doing 
match-move of 3d elements with existing footage. Had about 20 people at 
the meeting at RFX.

Maybe you can make it to the LinuxMovies.org meeting next week? 
SpectSoft will be showing off their HDTV/DI digital disk recorder in the 
161-seat theater at Raleigh Studios. That's across the street from 
Paramount in Hollywood near Melrose and Vine.

Cheers,

Robin
