Errata

I’ve been listening to the CBC’s Radio3 podcasts. The Canada day broadcast, in particular, was excellent. So far I’ve picked up Quebec Connection’s album “Bonjour Expo” and The Organ’s “Grab that Gun”. Quebec Connection is Kraftwork-ian-disco-pop-fun-electronica. The Organ is my current favourite band. The sound and lyrics and everything about them is just fantastic. Call them “alt-pop” or rock if you want, but check them out. Amazing.

Internet and Tech related, new self-publishing site, Lulu, offers cheap book publishing, with no start-up costs. You can read a review of it here. Sounds pretty good - under $10 (USD) for a paper-back style book, and ~$16 (USD) for an 8x10. With “real” bindings to boot. I’d like to do a test “photo” book for Conor.

Also, Ted over at PowerSDK has released IFBIN, a service which offerers users tested and documented examples of flash projects, which can be used commercially. Pretty good idea - i know there are many times i have something i want to accomplish, and if i just had a good example, i could get it done in no time at all. You can read Ted’s announcement and some info about the service.

I’ve got some proof-of-concept stuff happening on ThirdPlaceGames.com. Right now its just a chat demo. Its updated as i work on the project. More to come!

I know its been reported everywhere else, but i feel that i have to make some note of this. James Doohan, who played “Scottie” on Star Trek:TOS died on Wednesday the 20th.
