Many years ago when I was still in high school, a friend heard that if you put a CD in a microwave that it gave quite a light show, like tinfoil.  He was also moving out of his apartment and decided hey, if the microwave breaks, oh well.  So I grabbed my parent's giant VHS camcorder "just in case" it did do something interesting.

To make a long story short, it did do something interesting, and being that we were all bored and had access to some other video equipment (a then cutting-edge Video Toaster!) we later turned it into a short video, called Home Cookin'.  Edited from VHS to S-VHS (ooooo!), the "script" was written on the fly... the most high-tech part was the audio, which was recorded digitally.... at 12-bit!  Mono of course, because the other channel was occupied by the SMTPE timecode used to sync the audio system to the master... which even bled into the final mix.  This was a classy production! (We've since managed to dig up the original floppy disk backups of the audio files, and I re-mixed the whole thing sans timecode.  Now we can call it "digitally remastered" too!)

Fast forward 10 years and we finally did the sequel.  And-- here's the "Part-OT" bit-- it was even edited on DS :)  Our production values weren't necessarily any higher, particularly to pay homage to our previous effort, but we at least upgraded from VHS to MiniDV.

Anyhow, a few more years later, we finally got our acts together and have unleased our masterpieces unto the world.  You can see both videos online at http://home-cookin.com and hopefully at least get a chuckle or two.
