Cinema Minima Tribe member Mark (Jacksonville, Florida USA) asks: File Size and Other Computer Questions on Digital Video What's a ballpark figure on file size for a 60 minute broadcast quality video? Is it really necessary to have a tape deck if you plan to do all your editing on computer? Can you just use the camcorder itself to produce work-dubs and such?

It's The People Common Sense for a New Century. Today we announce the publication of Governor Dean's "Common Sense for a New Century," laying out your campaign's values and calling for national action. The pamphlet is modeled after Thomas Paine's "Common Sense," published in 1776, that helped ignite an American movement for self-government. Much as Paine's pamphlet was meant to spark discussion among colonists, we ask you to read Dean's pamphlet and sign it, then pass it along to a friend, family member or colleague—who will then sign and pass it along to another American. Once ten people have signed the pamphlet, the tenth person will send it back to the campaign. Drawing from some of America's most influential historical figures, "Common Sense for a New Century" proposes that the very values that helped found our United States over 225 years ago are at stake in the 2004 election. We have published 500,000 copies of "Common Sense" and shipped them to Meetup coordinators and other grassroots leaders. Those of you who attend tonight's Meetup—those of you who built this campaign from the ground up—will be the first to see it. For those who cannot attend Meetup, or whose Meetup does not have a coordinator, "Common Sense for a New Century" is available online in four formats: For online reading For simple online printing As a formatted eight-page printable pdf document As a formatted two-page double-sided printable pdf document, the best format for making copies and distributing: Download Page One     Download Page Two [Blog for America] 3:59:35 PM
