Hey, final_girl

Before I met you, I didn't even know what a "final girl" was. Now I'm pretending to be all smart in my movie blog by tossing in references to film theory. Thanks for the bit of education.

Here's a better image of what the color actually looks like:

Craft night tomorrow (Monday) at Serene's (North Oakland)

6-9pm, sometimes later. I'll be knitting someotherguy's Dr. Who
scarf. We will have snacks and tea and coffee. If you need directions,
let me know. Bring anyone you know and like.

geek research question

Calling all geeks: I'm researching a software need for work. You remember in the old days before YouTube, when people wanted to share video content on the web, they would put something up that was copy-protected, and you would have to download a special player, and the player would have copy protection in the form of some sort of licensing/password admin? (Put another way, the video could be played by me on my machine with my password/IP/whatever, but I couldn't just email the video to you so you could see it -- you'd have to buy/rent/license it too.)

I know that stuff must still exist, but I don't know what any of it is called, and I could use some narrowing terms for my search, as you can imagine that the lion's share of the websearch hits for "copy protection" are talking about legal battles.

Any ideas?
