Mister OZ’s Copious Notes

I hope Conan is still funny in LA, and an hour earlier.

If you saw the IT crowd episode about FriendFace, you probably were wondering WTF was Roy playing with on the couch.

I had no clue. It looked like some kind of giant MP3 player, with dual screen visualization.

So I spent some time searching, and it turns out to be a Tenori-ON music sequencer. I was a little bummed that is was not a giant mp3 player.

They charge $999 for it, so it really is more of a toy for people that have too much money.

Here are some videos of it in action.

I found out that windows 7 does not come with all of the programs you would expect. I wanted to post a video to my Facebook account, but it needed a little editing. It just needed to be trimmed a little, should not be a problem for Movie Maker. I look in the start menu, and it is not there. After a short web search, I find that it is only available as a download from live.com.

So I install the Movie Maker beta, anticipating an improved program. I am actually shocked when I first open MM, it does not look like an editing program. It takes a bit, but I figure out how to trim/crop my video . The controls are so imprecise, that I could not get the trim points right. They were about 20 seconds from the spot I needed.  I was able to get my video posted, but this is the last time using MM.
