20 years of The Princess Bride

I don't think anyone could say they dislike The Princess Bride, certainly for me it's a classic movie from my childhood. I can remember going to see it in the cinema, and I can remember loving it. Well, as it turns out there's a new 20th Anniversary DVD boxset available, which features a really cool rotational inversion, or ambigram, on it. I'll be buying it. Thought it was cool/interesting/fun enough to share.

The Next Generation of CGI Human Representation

Consider that this entire film is presented by a CGI person, this is incredible.



Some of Image Metrics’ other CGI projects, which include work on Grand Theft Auto IV, Devil May Cry 4, and a Gnarls Barkley video featuring an anthropomorphic singing heart.

Bloggers and PR Guys

I was lucky enough to get my name on a list to attend an event I'm really excited about. On the Jan 21st Damien Mullay has organised a get together between a collection of Irish bloggers and a team of PR folk. The event, happening the Edelman offices on Stephen's Green, is a chance for us bloggers to gain a better understanding of what it is PR is trying to achieve, and how it's trying to achieve it, while allowing the PR people to talk to us blog types and find out what it is we do, and why we do it.

Having studied Public Relations myself I think I have a good idea of what Irish PR is doing. However, as a blogger and digital marketer I also know that they're rapidly falling behind the times. PR needs to reinvent itself with a serious amount of time spent focusing on understanding modern social media.

For anyone interested in going along, pop over to Damien's blog and drop him a comment. I'm not sure if all the places are full yet or not, but pop along and have a check.

Sunday Funny - Statoil Ad

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Statoil ad before, but this is funny stuff. I hope you have a cozy warm Sunday planned!

Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries

First I thought it was a cool loader. Then I realised I'd heard the music before; a fantastic piece of jazz from Kenny Dorham. Then the words started and I was blown away. There's no point in me trying to explain the site - just go and have a look!
