By the way, hearing the former White House Pastry Chef of 25 years, a Frenchman with French training and authentic French accent say “Time to make the doughnuts” is a ridiculously funny thing.

Flash video conversion help?
So, because last night I had cause to introduce a new crop of people to Radiskull and Devildoll, I got the bright idea that I wanted to somehow put this onto my iPod, which has video capability. If I can get it into a movie format, I can convert it for the iPod. I know there are plenty of tools to convert standard .flv flash videos (like youtube’s) into useable movie files, but I’m not finding anything for the more typical .swf files. Anyone out there with good suggestions?
Roman “Swiss” Army Multitool
Almost every geek I know carries some sort of multitool. It might be a Wenger/Victorinox, a Leatherman, a Gerber, or some other smaller company like SOG. It appears, according to this:

That even the ancient Romans carried a multitool on their belts. This one seems to be all about the eating. It has a fork, a spoon, a knife, a pick, and a few other litle things on it. When I was in the Boy Scouts, I had a silverware set that notched together (but pulled apart for actual use), so I guess some things, like compact tools for eating, are going to be a staple of portable gear forever.
Pretty neat.
