"The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for."
(Ludwig Wittgenstein)



Spring Sunset

Up Front NW
By Gary Ferrington

We've changed the look of the Proscenia Newsletter a bit. Now, instead of using a 640 pixel width page we have enlarged it to 800. This gives us a bit more room for images such as that above of a lingering spring shower at sunset here in the Pacific Northwest.
    We have also started to use CSS, which makes the look of the Newsletter more standard across browsers. This also enhances our ability to link to resources without resorting to all those underscored words. Change comes slowly when the familiar is so comfortable.

This month:

Feature Article: If you can't afford all that expensive production software for word processing, photo, video or audio production, what do you do? Don't dispare. There is a variety of free software available on the Internet that will get you started with surprisingly good results. This month's article, Free and Legal, explores four software packages designed by experts and made available for free.

Random Links: This list of links this month are truely radom as we dig into our collection of site visits and humerous places on the web. Come explore, learn, and enjoy.

Site Visit: If you haven't yet discovered Google Maps, here's your chance. The online search engine leader has made it possible for viewers to zoom in on homes and businesses using maps and satellite images. Google's free satellite maps will initially be limited to North America, with images covering roughly half the United States.

Lighter Side: NASA's Earth as Art provides photos from space that present the true beauty of our planet. Enjoy the earth from space in the selection of photographs from several hundred miles about the Earth's surface.

On The Desktop: News from world sources about film, video, and multimedia.

Also in the news is the premier of a feature film by former Proscenia Intern Brian Murphy. His motion picture, Pizza Girl, played in Eugene the last weekend in April. It will be screened again in May at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland and on June 10 at the DIVA Center in Eugene.
    "Basically, this is a pizza delivery girl who goes around fixing other people's lives while fixing her own," said Murphy in a recent Register Guard article about the film. See trailer and production details at the Pizza Girl web site.
