Miro 1.0

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Cross-platform, open source video application Miro is now available in a full-featured, bug-fixed 1.0 version.

Miro can subscribe to video podcasts, grab from YouTube channel feeds or BitTorrents.

Sanyo PLV-Z1

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

I have found digital projector under $500 so I decided I will buy it. I can made slideshows of my pictures and it looks like this one can be also used in home theatre setup.

The PLV-Z1 High Definition (964 x 544) resolution panels make it the perfect match for home theater viewing 16:9 widescreen DVD movies (480i, 480p) and HDTV (720p, 1080i) format programs. For High Definition sources, the 1/4 HD resolution panels provide better scaling and improved image quality.
With high quality projection system and 700 ANSI lumens you are assured that your home theater will have rich and lifelike images even at 200-inches diagonal. Featuring a D-Sub 15-pin input for connection to a computer, and horizontal/vertical Digital Keystone Correction.

My Nikifor at Mill Valley Film Festival

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

In an extraordinary cross-gender performance, actress Krystyna Feldman becomes the curmudgeonly Polish folk artist Nikifor, a naive painter whose prolific talent and sheer stubbornness brought him national fame. Based on a true story, My Nikifor (crystal globe award, Karlovy Vary 2005) unfolds in mid-20th-century Poland across a gray winter landscape further oppressed by Communist party politics and perpetual shortages.
