...shelf. Nobody wants to fast-forward through 10 minutes of Grandpa's feet ("Is this thing still recording?") to see 10 seconds of Cousin Katie blowing out her first-birthday candles. The good news is that I've found a way to edit old analog movies on my home computer. In fact, an entire industry has emerged to support the more than 44 million U.S. households that own a PC and an analog camcorder, and want to make movies worth watching...

For example, if Vermont's legislature were to formally recognize gay marriages, a gay couple from New York who got married in Vermont would not be legally "married" when they went home to New York. Despite its less-than-spectacular implications, the Vermont ruling's not all bad news for gay activists: While the Vermont legislature may not be ready to make marriage available to everyone, Monday's Supreme Court ruling demands they at least cement a wide range of civil rights...
