Panel recording

Apparently it may take a while before videos of the panels that I was on are posted, but here's a link to an mp3 recording. You may find it interesting...or not, of course.

It's a recording of the "We Want It On DVD!" panel.

Mysterious re-enlargement!

As you might remember, at the height of the recent gas price surge there was a strange event. All sorts of products started shrinking. Ice cream in particular went from 2 quarts (the standard half-gallon) to 1.5 quarts; a 25% reduction in product with no corresponding reduction in price.

But a few days ago I bought ice cream, and was amazed to see that it somehow looked...bigger. Sure enough, it was 1.75 quarts. And what's more, all the brands are that size now - even the store brands.

It's odd how they all stay in sync. I have to wonder if there's some sort of conspiracy between the manufacturers to all stay at the same sizes!
