Dave sent us this tasty step-by-strep for homebrewing root beer -When I asked them about the yeast, the man behind the counter gave me a dreadful warning that making root beer with yeast is like making bombs. He said it was too dangerous as the bottles have a high likelihood of exploding. He also said that they had a high likelihood of fermenting the root beer and so it was a very poor way to make root beer. The method he suggested instead was carbon dioxide infusion. This required a carbon dioxide tank and regulator (I borrowed this from Dave) and a cornelious keg, which I purchased from Main Street Homebrew. It was used and set me back about $45. With the extracts and the book, I spent about another $25.Mmmm ... me likey non-explosive root beer - Root Beer: The Bacon of Beverages

ExtendMedia has confirmed with us that it has raised $10 million in Series C funding from previous backers TVM Capital, Atlas Venture and Venrock Associates, as was reported this morning by peHUB based on a regulatory filing. The Newton, Mass.-based company powers consumer video services for customers including media companies and consumer electronics makers.

ExtendMedia has secured some high-profile deals, but they haven’t necessarily gone all that well. It helped power SanDisk’s TakeTV and Fanfare PC-to-TV content service, which shut down just eight months after launch. It was also behind last year’s problematic release of NBC Direct, the network’s video download software that sucked up users’ PC resources. But it’s also the chosen media delivery partner for AT&T’s new CDN effort.

ExtendMedia CEO Keith Kocho attested in a phone call today that the economic downturn has not negatively affected his company — he said he actually expects harder times will be a good thing for ExtendMedia, in that it will help lessen the competition. While claiming you’re exempt from a market this bad doesn’t sound particularly tenable, it’s true that Kocho was able to raise $10 million in the current climate. However, that’s less than ExtendMedia raised in its $12 million Series B round in April of last year. The company’s total funding amounts to $23 million. It has approximately 50 employees, and it released a new version of its platform earlier this month.

peHUB also reported that KZO Innovations, a streaming video provider whose web site is incredibly obtuse, has secured $1.68 million of a $2.08 million Series A round led by Valhalla Partners.

One of my favorite shows on TV is METALOCALYPSE, a show which parodies other "band" and supernatural programs, combining dark comedy and Apocalyptic intrigue in following the exploits of the part-American/part-Scandinavian death metal band Dethklok. The episodes follow the band's everyday life, with a Dethklok song being a common feature near the end of every episode. The second season of the show hits DVD tomorrow and I highly recommend checking 'em both out. Beyond the break you can chew on a short clip from the series, courtesy of UGO.

It appears that LAKE MUNGO has been impressing the masses. We learned this afternoon from a reliable source that writer-director Joel Anderson is in final talks (meaning he isn't signed on just yet) to pen the screenplay for Warner Bros. Pictures' newest Twilight Zone feature film. In the initial announcement it was revealed that they not seeking to remake an episodic movie, as the only big-screen version of the show did 25 years ago, but rather hope to build one continuing story line based on one or more episodes. Paramount Vantage announced they'll be remaking Anderson's MUNGO, which tells the story (in documentary style) of a teenager whose apparent death sets off a series of paranormal events.

With the economy in continuing decline, keeping track of your money is more important than ever. These financial apps for Google Android help count every penny.

I'm new with an iPod touch, so I have some questions:

1) Is there a way to jailbreak the 2nd gen yet?
2) Is there any way to load flash?
3) How do you download things without jail breaking?

Please reply, thanks.

My macs only have imovie 6, so it appears that I need to purchase some newer software to download family video footage from our new canon HF10.

Question is what to buy? I understand that imovie 08 will work, and perhaps Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.

I do not expect to be doing much editing (takes too much time); but I do care about (i) user friendliness; (ii) ease of management of video assets; and (iii) flexibility of use of the stored video in years to come.

By item (ii) above, I simply mean, I wish to be able to find video clips based on some type of file system or key word system; then burn them or share them somehow, etc., without too much fuss. Modern life seems to be giving us so very much storage capacity, being able to search and to find things becomes increasingly important.

By item (iii), I am asking whether the available programs will save the video in some weird type of format (beta vhs), or something that is likely to be standard for a while (or transfiqurable to a later standard ).

Any thoughts would be most welcomed.

Thanks.
