Meet Wendy. Wendy’s not been very succesful as a Ghostbuster – also she says she’s now understood why it is wrong to cross the streams. However, it’s all been too late for Wendy and her career as a Ghostbuster has come to an end. Will she be able to cope with this sad news or […]
Monsters
There’s something about this photograph that speaks to me. Okay; not just because of the two trollish monsters in it. I see those. I hope they don’t speak to me. I think it’s the black and white simplicity that appeals to me. It’s almost as if this photograph is understated which is a great juxtaposition […]
Mound – a Halloween claymation
Mound is a claymation by Allison Schulnik. There’s much to be impressed with in this animation – for example, all the background movement. Can you imagine all the little tweaks and adjustments Schulnik would have had to have done? This was published to Vimeo just before Halloween. I can’t say if that was the intention […]

The Tech of Tomorrow
There are a bunch of videos doing the rounds today that certainly worth watching. Two from Microsoft and two from RIM (BlackBerry).

Cthulhu Earrings – what do they whisper?
I rather like the look of these Cthulhu geek girl earrings. Okay, I’m not a girl and I suspect these earrings might be on the large and heavy side… but it’s all too easy to imagine what sweet lunacy these earrings might whisper to the geek girl who wears them. I imagine she would be […]
