As promised here is another great example of some motion content, this time from Anders Schroder. The piece is very simple and stylish and a great example of what can be done with a bit (or should I rather say, alot) of skill with some off the shelf tools. http://www.dform1.com/ Check out all the pieces and he has also done some work for Digital Vision aswell.
In my small amount of spare time I have been catching some great web movies, so over the next couple of days I will be reporting on them! First up, Hillman Curtis has film a nice interview with Stefan Sagmeister for Adobe Studios.
Adobe studios have perhaps lost there way a little of late, and I for one can’t find what I am looking for most of the time so if I happen by something like this, it tends to be by chance. Check it: http://av.adobe.com/studio/sag/sagmeister.html

Looks like Apple have been busy, which can only be a good thing. They have launched upgraded processors in their G5’s and apparently according to this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/09/apple_g5_update/ article the dual 2.5 is now liquid cooled. Liquid Cooling once the preserve of super computers has gained alot of followers over the last couple of years (and I am thinking of trying it) but its a completely new thing for a consumer ‘mainstream’ machine to have.
They have also introduced a new AirTunes product which looks promising but I am sure they have locked it down, so unless it is nicely hackable it will probably only work with their tech. A nice overview is here: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/editors/archives/000212.php

AMD have announced here http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_543~86164,00.html that they are introducing a new line of processors called Sempron™ for emerging markets. There XP processors are still going to be produced and will probably merge with the AMD 64 line.
WooHoo! Went out a couple of hours with a couple of workfriends and some binoculars and caught a view of Venus eclipsing the moon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3784293.stm
In an earlier post I had noted that I was using FreeSwan to create a VPN with a Checkpoint Firewall well I can heartly recommend the new OpenSwan as I upgraded and found this much easier to use. In other news I can say I really don’t like CVS at the moment and I am finding it a complete pain, but again this is all really boring techie stuff.
So for a break I recommend catching the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. As a film it has grown up almost as quickly as its leading stars and is all the better for new director Alfonso Cuarón’s touches. The Story at times was perhaps a little hard to follow, even for someone that has read the book, but that hardly matters as the pace and effects keeps following to fill in any holes. The actors perhaps wearnt as on form as the prequels but still provide much entertainment. Recommended.
His site is nine years old today. That is quite an age in Internet Terms, can’t say that I had a site back then but at least I was online. Or is that a bad thing?!
