Cole will play the role of Dan Stark’s (Whitford) former partner.
I’ve really been enjoying this series — if for nothing else than trying to pick out the locations of a lot of the scenes in the movie — which primarily take place near mine and Laurie’s offices — just outside downtown Dallas.
It’s also been fun to see how they re-purpose buildings and locations at Fair Park throughout the series.
Plus Bradley Whitford and Collin Hanks are a lot of fun together.
Here’s to another fun episode with Cole — and hoping the chief doesn’t turn him into a paper-pusher filling out TPS reports all day.
As I continue using my “new” iPhone, I thought it would be interesting to compare the video quality of my mobile phones… the G1 I used up until a week or so ago and the iPhone 3G I’ve been using since.
Granted, these aren’t the phones you’ll be buying in the stores anymore but if you’re looking for a re-furbished/used phone on ebay or elsewhere, this might help you make your decision. Last check showed an unlocked G1 for $75 on ebay or an 8GB iPhone 3G for $160.
These videos were recorded on the phones (I had to download a camcorder app for the iPhone) and uploaded straight to the web.
The video quality is comparable but the iPhone has the weird screen ratio. That may bother some – may not bother others.

Like my still photography, I still like having a dedicated device for video (at least until I get a phone with better video quality) but appreciate having video on my phone for spur of the moment things.
Do you use video on your phone or do you use a video specific device like the Flip UltraHD Cam?
Received a dreadful email this morning from my good friend Kari who’s heading up Porcelain Dolls in the Waco area…
I have some awful news. Out of respect for the girl involved I am leaving her name out, but tonight one of our girls was raped at the club in the high roller room. She came out screaming and crying with bruises on her neck and arms. The club apprehended the guy until the cops got there and he has been arrested and charged. I tell you this because we need your prayers more than anything right now. Please pray for this girl who is scarred for life. She will need our prayers and our help. Obviously she wont be able to work for a while and she will need money. Now I know we have been hitting you pretty hard for donations for the Thanksgiving meal, but honestly – this is way more important. Lasagna’s can wait. Im asking you to please hit your knees for this young girl, that God will be able to restore her faith through this awful tragedy and give her the comfort and peace that she needs to get through this situation. If you want to write her a note of encouragement please email it here and I will be happy to see that it gets to her. Thank you so much for your faithfulness to this ministry and your devotion to prayer that we cherish so much. Be blessed guys and remember to pray for our girl.
Or perhaps folks can rally and send out some grace bombs to this girl via Kari.
