by Carla Schroder
Managing Editor

A happy confluence of events inspired today’s Editor’s Note:
some funny YouTube videos, and a number of good howtos recently on
making movies on Linux. There is a lot of good Linux/FOSS video
software: movie capture, movie editing, and playback. Here is a
sampling.

I’m easily amused so these YouTube videos may not be as
hilarious to you. I love the “literal version” remakes and plan to
try my hand at making one someday. It’s harder than it looks;
things that seem screamingly funny among friends don’t always hold
up when they’re written down in a script. Enjoy, and have a great
weekend!
