LOL pretty funny. I like the mention of Joe Sweden moving to Cleveland, leaving one hellmouth for another.

The Toy Story lot was the one we tried to go to on Saturday.

Regarding the parking, I agree with you that the signage was terrible. If we’d tried to follow it, it would have been a huge pain. However, the website for the con showed all the Convention Center lots, and also directed people to the “overflow” Toy Story parking lot at Disney, and that’s what we did, both Saturday and Sunday. It worked out great. The parking attendents asked if you were for the Convention or Disneyland, gave you the Convention rate and directed you to the parking nearest to Harbor. Both days all we had to do was walk the length of the street/mall from Harbor to the Convention Center.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’ve mostly settled on Aviary since writing this, but the touch up feature looks intriguing.

Image editors? Try Snapseed, which is available for iOS and Android. I was sceptical about it at first but I tried it on the iPad with a few images and it’s very intuitive and versatile. Now I can take my cheapo Android tablet out on the road with my DSLR and 3G WiFi dongle and have access to some very good editing and upload facilities!

Format obsolescence is definitely biting me in the butt with games… If you’re lucky, an old game is available for paid or free download and runs on modern OSs. If you’re unlucky, it’s trapped on old floppies (!), CDs, or DVDs and only runs on an old OS you don’t have. If you’re very unlucky, it’s a console game with no backwards compatibility. I want to replay all the Myst games for instance; the first two are available for download on modern Windows and for iOS, but 3/4/5 are on DVD releases… the Mac versions are PowerPC and won’t run on modern Macs. The Windows versions might run, but I’ll have to dig out an old machine with an optical drive and hope…

Yeah, two DRM-d formats that hopefully won’t go obsolete. In ten years we’ll have nothing that plays them and need to download them pirated off future-mega-super-torrent sharing networks.

Ugh, video. There’s a reason I still make any actual video *purchases* as DVD and Blu-Ray when possible. For a single viewing, who cares, but if we’re going to re-watch it over time, I want to be sure I can access it a few years down the line.

They’re starting to funnel music into silos too with things like iTunes Match and Amazon Cloud Player… and of course like the eBook stores they’re not all crossplatform, so you’re either locked in, split/inconsistent, or you have to go to the trouble of keeping them in sync. And let’s not even get into video…
