Note: For those having a Super Bowl Party no T.V. over 55” Allowed

Just a quick word of caution for people planning to have a Super Bowl party Sunday. The way the current United States copywrite laws are written it is illegal to have a TV over 55 inches and show the game.
According to Title 17 Chapter 1 § 110 Limitations on exclusive rights: Exemption of certain performances and displays

(II) if the performance or display is by audiovisual means, any visual portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 4 audiovisual devices, of which not more than one audiovisual device is located in any 1 room, and no such audiovisual device has a diagonal screen size greater than 55 inches, and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers, of which not more than 4 loudspeakers are located in any 1 room or adjoining outdoor space;

This law is such a joke especially today with people having new giant TV’s I guess the friend who I helped install a new 71″ Samsung DLP tv is probably going to be breaking this joke of a law.

On a side note the blog has been updated to WordPress 2.1

Small Update

I know it has been a long time sense I have last updated the blog.  I have had a lot that has been going on.  It is nice to finally have one semester at UNL done.  Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to watch the Nebraska Volleyball team win the National Championship in Omaha.  It was an amazing sight.  I have some photos that I took of the event and I will hopefully post these tomorrow.

Multi-Me

I ran across the flickr photogroup called Clone Meets Clone and it is a gallery of people that have done multiplicity type of photos. I decided to try one this afternoon and this is what I came up with.

Click on the picture to see a larger version.
This is fun to do and to make.  Look for more multiplicity shots soon.

I wanted to say thanks to Jeff for all of the help with moving the website. I could not have done it with out you man. His blog is http://blog.wisch.org/
