Coincidence Is fun

I cannot be the first person to think that the opening bits of Calamity Song by the Decemberists sounds like a slowed down version of the Age of Consent by New Order.


Fun!

Sustained super growth is only going to happen again when productivity goes up or we employ more people. In the late 90s we did pretty good with the internet but that well has gone dry. For more lucid commenting see this  Jordan Weissman Post

Hot Tip for Power Point Movies and Music Together

Say you got a silent movie and want to play a clip of music over it in Powerpoint. Many a fool would say go edit the movie in blah blah or pipe the blah throuch flac to blah. Fooey I say, Powerpoint can play the movie and the music at the same time. First Insert each item into a slide. For each Click on the Item and select Playback from the Audio or Video Tools Ribbon Select the Play Automatically Option:
But you say the two play consecutively, thats not what I wanted. I know I know but you can overcome this. Head to the Animation Ribbon and open the animation pane. Right Click on the second media item and set it to Start with Previous.
Once the Animation order numbers match (blue arrows) they two clips will play together, and you audience wont know you can't use iMovie.
