My mom asked me first thing this morning, "do you need special glasses to see Ice Age in 3D?  Can someone still watch the 3D version without wearing them?"  Unfortunately, the 3D version is not happily watchable without the passive polarized glasses (unless you're into headaches).  It's just economics - the technology to make one film for simultaneous 2D and 3D viewing is not practical at scale.  It's out there, it's just not something that's available like the 1,600 or so RealD screens currently playing the movie (and that number is growing with RealD's popularity). So without the glasses, you'll see something like:

Alright, so this is anaglyph, but polarized images also have fuzziness to them. 

What a crazy week of ups and downs.  I've had good energy days and non-energy days, received happy emails, and seen sad news headlines.  In particular, it seems like a bad couple of weeks in Hollywood - Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays...all passed away.  Michael Jackson's death seems to have especially captivated America.  I mean, have you turned on iTunes lately? Turning on the radio isn't much better...

I'm glad that I've been getting happy tidbits to offset the sad ones. In particular, I got an email from a dear friend.  She's officially married, and she sent me a link to her wedding video!  Congratulations!  The big day was last month, and it looks incredibly beautiful.  Even if you didn't know her, it's definitely worth watching.  And if you're curious about the "wedding within a wedding" going on, I imagine it has to do with her being Vietnamese.  :)

 
Watch the video - it's so beautiful!
