Footage CalcThe second I discovered this morning (and am already falling in love) helping a student see if his video assignment would fit on his USB flash drive. It’s a web page optomized for iPhone called Footage Calc and it seems to have more options yet is simpler to use. I set a bookmark on a page on my iPhone so I have one click access to it anywhere as long as I have cell coverage or wifi.

Problem is I cannot for the life of me find it online again and I have almost lost my hard copy several times. So when I found it the most recent time (today) I thought it was lost I decided to somehow perserve it for posterity in a manner other than a hard copy printout in a pile on my desk.

(If someone ever finds it only, please tell me where and I’ll give more precise credit where credit is due)
