North of the Mason-Dixon Line
So Katharine, the dogs and I loaded up the Jeep and made the journey back to my hometown in the Cincinnati area for Christmas on Saturday and I’m sitting here at Mom’s house in Indiana typing this post. I did my political duty this week. I told everyone in my family (and anyone who would listen) about Ron Paul. Almost everyone had either never heard of him or knew little if anything about him. I did my best to tell all of them everything I could. Initially, everyone was feeling about the same as I had been before I really looked at Dr. Paul, but after I gave my little pitch I think I was able to raise some interest. I followed up with a little email about him and some info on the primaries up here. They all felt like they couldn’t make a difference, but when I explained that I came up here and told ten people about him and that if each of them would do the same, it would spread pretty quickly. As George Washington said,
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
I guess all of the focus has been on the early states: South Carolina, New Hampshire and Iowa. I pitched in up here, so now it’s their turns!

Hello, (Please forgive my non sequitur) I can’t find your email here, but I’ve searched you out b/c apparently you’ve successfully negotiated an ATI TV Wonder and Camorama, with an old VHS camera. I’d like to do the same using Ubuntu and a sony handycam, but I can’t get the video to deinterlace properly in camorama and I thought I’d ask you if you had any advice. We seem to have a lot in common, I’ve enjoyed reading your page, and your time lapse storm shots on youtube.
Sincerely,

Hi Liam. I did do that a while back. I was actually using software called ‘motion’ available in the repositories. You can just ’sudo apt-get install motion’ and you’ll have it. It’s a command line program, though. I’m not sure what would be different in Camorama. Let me know if that helps!
