Didn't feel like driving to the grocery store, so I raided the pantry for tonight's dinner.

 

So good. :cloud9:

Modification Round #2

 

Made this last night, and it was a total screw-up.

 

I exceeded the maximum capacity of the pan and there was too much liquid. Made a bloody mess, and I had to use a second pan to reduce the sauce. Next time I'm using less ingredients and fully draining the stewed tomatoes.

Round #3

 

Made some modifications and incorporated some of Ogami's suggestions.

 

It was very, very good. But still not as good as my first attempt.

 

But now I know why. I won't go into the details, but Round #4 should be much better.

Good cooking is all about experimentation, trial and error.

Star Trek in Cinerama Widescreen

 

Forty eight years ago this week Star Trek debuted its first episode on NBC. The show, like all other shows at the time, was broadcast in the old style 4x3 aspect ratio. Using HD screen caps from my friends at Trekcore.com, I created this project of what the show would have looked like in Cinerama widescreen. As a kid the show always felt bigger and more epic than it appears to me as an adult. I was able to create these shots by waiting for the camera to pan and then I stitched the separate shots together. The result is pretty epic. It reminds me of the classic science fiction movies of the 50’s and 60’s. Suddenly the show has a “Forbidden Planet” vibe. Other shots remind me of how director Robert Wise would use a camera technique to keep the foreground and background elements in focus.

The incredible beak from a colossal squid! (yes, yes, it's the mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni)

 

 

(Go to 2:17:00)

 

:acclaim: (I hope :wishluck: Man, I could REALLY use those points! :whee: - And the fame :blush: )

 

As I told my sons, "Before sailing the Seven Seas as a mighty pirate, I clearly remember that beak when I was diving for pearls near the southern tip of New Zealand. Luckily I was saved by my two best friends, two hungry adult sperm whales, but I never will forget that beak! When I got back on the ship, I made the painting below to remember the day"

I thought for sure someone would think it was a deleted scene from Prometheus. :)
