It's all peas and carrots to me.

CD Covers 1985 - 2005 medium test

A test of the Photoshop script that will be used to generate a poster-size print of the covers of CDs I purchased between 1985 and 2005 (1,606 images).

This test used the smaller 130 x 130 pixel versions of the cover scans and resulted in a 73.7 meg Photoshop file. The scans to be used for the final are each 338 x 338.

Remix

Article at Boing Boing. Article describes Free Culture @ NYU's Film remix contest to use footage from The Matrix, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter to make parody short films. What's the article titled?

"Mashup Matrix, LoTR, Star Wars and Harry Potter and win!"

Another article, same day. This one describes the Fort Minor Remix Contest in which the audio source is supplied to remix Fort Minor's "Remember the Name". The article uses the word "remix" six times. How is this article titled?

"Warner Music sponsors CC-licensed mashup contest"

Repeat after me: It's ok to use the word "remix" when you're describing remixes. It just seems a little bizarre... almost as if Boing Boing has some sort of Buzzword Compliance Filter to make certain that all titles are properly With It.

D'oh. Maybe so.
