Gorehound Canned Film presents 'WORST CASE SCENARIO'

A link to this site was sent to me today. It's a creepy zombie horror film looking for backing. I hope to see it on the screen one day. Dog Soldiers meets Rogue Trooper meets nationalistic paranoia.

Check out both the Promo and the CGI Promo.
Just found out apparently they've been looking funding for 3 years and in November last year they got the nod.

Chinatown, Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square

Celebration for Chinese New Year of the Dog begins with a parade, starting at 11am, along Charing Cross Road to Trafalgar Square. The parade features the Gold Sail Dance group from Beijing plus London based performers including Jun Mo.

They could not have made it any easier, but I still missed the parade. Damn and its year of the Dog, my year. Didn't want to stick around till the 5pm fireworks, so I went to Gym instead.

Shoreditch Rocks

Cast: Myself , Paul, Matt and Peter. */archetype New Media/broadcast guys

Scene: All I knew about the plan for the night was "we were heading into Shoreditch". After work I picked up a 12 pack of Whitstable Bay Organic (only organic beer, available at short notice) and taxied through to Casa Del Paul.

Paul cooked up some treats for everyone, thereby ensuring the appropriate foundation for the forthcoming events. Once the team was assembled as per Paul's earlier suggestion we headed into Shoreditch, on the free nightbus.

Following the Sony Corporation FY05 3Q announcement, the production of AIBO Entertainment Robots has been discontinued as of end March 2006. As for the sales activity, we will discontinue the sales of AIBO once all remaining stock runs out.

I read this article a while ago and could not for the life of me remember which magazine I had seen it. After a little bit of searching I found the source (Alec Hanley Bemis in Wired Issue 13.07 - July 2005).

It's a sort of dummies guide to how digital (/read computers) have brought the quality of sound down. Interesting that most of webgen have not actually heard vinyl and that their benchmark for sound quality is probably a little lower. I wonder what the implications of this are for the future?
