• I’d like to congratulate Robert Galle for his nice WhereIsIt? indexing software application. I’d also like to congratulate him for the single worst shareware ordering and registration process I’ve experienced, which ended with him simply refunding my money. So, as nice as the trial of the app may be, and how much it impresses you, do NOT go through the pains of attempting an online order. Perhaps he’s competent with a snail mail order, if you wanna chance that. I don’t have anything against shareware software apps/companies that are most likely based out of the single developers home (I’m a very happy customer of quite a few of them), but it’s not fun when dealing with them makes it so obviously just such an operation. When compared to some of my favorite shareware apps and developers out there like Easy CD-DA Extractor, NewsLeecher, etc (all of which I’m a happily paid customer), it’s disappointing to find one where the experience of dealing with the developer sucks.
• It would have been the 50th anniversary of the legendary, fantastic, amazing, wonderful BBC Radiophonic Workshop. When it comes to the ol’ Radiophonic Workshop, I’m a total fanboy. Delia Derbyshire, Paddy Kingsland, Peter Howell, Dick Mills - these and their many talented colleagues are music/sfx legends, as far as I’m concerned. Mark Ayres has made such amazing steps in preserving the history of the legendary department, and I look forward to buying the new box set they talk about in the article.
• Check out the awesome new poster for The Dark Knight. Very cool.
• Surprisingly, Wesley Snipes has been made an example of.
• So, Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan, huh? Hmmm.
• Sounds like the production on the newest Bond film isn’t having the best of luck.
