More Mauer
"The reports," Pirates coach Rich Donnelly explained, "basically showed he doesn't strike out, doesn't pop up and has no holes. It's like with Tony Gwynn, Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols. When you go over the reports on hitters like that, you basically just go, 'Next.' Why waste five minutes? And Mauer is putting himself in that class."

Free Tri-fold InDesign Brochure Template Download!
If I can't find it online in less than, oh, 1-2 minutes I consider it buried a little too deep in the Interweb.
You know, you're searching for that file or update or specification and you keep ending up on those spam pages that link you to another spam page... or a Yahoo! Answers page of dubious credibility.
I tried searching for a template for a tri-fold brochure for InDesign, found a couple links, but didn't really find what I was looking for so I made my own.
I tried to make the measurements "perfect" (with the last page slightly smaller so it will fold in correctly) so here is what they are:
Margins: 3/8" (2.25 pica -- you can change this easily)
First two pages: 3.6875 inches (22.125 pica)
Last page: 3.625 inches (21.75 pica)
Grids on the folds, with grid lines 3/8" from the fold.
Viola! The Perfect Tri-Fold CS3 InDesign Brochure Template Download! (right click to download)
Let me know if I screwed up. (or if, say, InDesign already had this built in and I just wasted an hour)

The Loop
I don't remember the last video Cody, Aaron and I all worked on. Cody wasn't in Oxymorons 4.5 so it might be something from when we were all still students six years ago.
Anyway, Aaron wanted to put something together to help teach his students Final Cut Pro. We decided it shouldn't be too "Oxy" since whatever we did, his students would surely do something similar. We decided on a Twilight Zone-style idea. The original story had a few more things including Cody calling himself and a neighbor in the hallway, but we didn't quite have time for all that.
Aaron actually had a cut of this as well (about half done?) but I think it's either lost or floating around at Grand View.
Props to Cody for his going along with our shenanigans. We shot it in a couple hours at his place with one light.
Without further ado... The Loop!

24... it's torture for your brain!
Everyone tune in for the season finale of "24"? Wasn't it terrible? Kind of make you feel like you wasted about 24 hours? Well, let's waste another minute and see how those "24" predictions a while back panned out!
(Spoilers!)
Andy's:
Tony will go bad again.
Yes!
Bill will die.
Yes!
Jack will torture at least 13 more people.
Hmm.. I don't think he got to 13, unfortunately.
Chloe and Janis will fight. Chloe will win.
Well, they didn't quite fight but Chloe put the smack down on Janis... and Janis had her little brilliant idea and Chloe was like "Hey you're not half bad."
Bill Garnier from Band of Brothers will be one of the "corrupt" in the White House.
This one didn't pan out.. they just had the president's daughter act as sort of this pseudo-antagonist that was sort of bad but you weren't quite sure if you were supposed to care about her or not. Turns out not!

Siskow:
"New CTU" family members will show up at some point: i.e., Morris, Karen Hayes, and Kim Bauer.
Yes! Except for Karen. That would have been smart, though, because wasn't she married to Bill?
Tony goes bad again.
Yes!
I see your Bill dies, and raise you: He gets killed by Tony or Jack.
Sort of! He dies sacrificing himself for Jack.
Janis is not working exclusively for the Feds.
Sorry. Good try.
The President's husband removes a mask in episode 17 and is actually Martha Logan.
Yes! I mean, no.
The President's son is not actually dead.
No.
Chase returns with a bionic arm and kills Tony.
I wish.
Pony Boy saves the world in episode 24.
Sorry.

Any guesses for next season?
