I'm a technical professional cloistered in the corporate world. An INTP by nature, happenstance, or design, I enjoy playing designer board games, watching quality TV, hiking, and personal sports providing direct competition. I'm a fan of Japanese animated series and movies, of sci-fi and fantasy, and of audio books. I'm a Christian, a father, and strive to maintain the eclectic combination of spartanity and technological efficiency.

    What is the significance of floating white feathers in anime? I've seen this multiple times, but I'm unable to discern the symbolism.

  • How does WMP12 (Windows Media Player 12) achieve such great video quality?

    In the Windows 7 beta, WMP12 is included. The video quality in this player far outstrips any other player I'm familiar with. The very same files viewed with this player look outstanding, while viewing in pretty much any other player just look normal.

    I understand that WMP12 has support for the h.264 codec builtin, but I don't believe that the codec itself is causing it; I think it must be some default vibrance controls or something.

    Anyone have any ideas?
