What do you do when you have something to say, but the right place to post it saw its last activity two days ago? Post it on my own blog, of course. Pretend you're reading from the USA:
"You guys in the US get the iPhone. In Australia, we get to see Transformers a week early. Saw it this morning on the old IMAX screen in Brisbane. Spoiler-free quick review:
1. It's good. Effects are awesome, actors aren't annoying, and it includes the best giant-mecha-robot fights ever committed to film.
2. Michael Bay really does know how to blow shit up. He also likes military toys and isn't afraid to promote them just a teensy bit.
3. It's long. There are a couple of moments when the plot stops making total sense. But then, a giant mecha robot transforms while jumping over a missile and you forgive all shortcomings.
Enjoy your iPhones, you bastards!"

If you're an early riser or planning a big Saturday night, be sure to be staring blankly at the telly at 6am this Sunday morning, watching Rage. You'll be able to see Nobody, by Chris Pickering, as mentioned further down this page. Yay!
How did I miss this? Use new-window links (ie. target="_blank") with a strict doctype.

Got a few moments to kill? Reading my blog? Why not watch Chris Pickering's clip Nobody which I helped make? AD on the night, some colour correction in post, 4600+ stills, and I'm the guy with the still camera who takes a photo of the baby in the clip. Directed by my friend, Jonathan Dowler, who's currently editing on Big Brother Up Late and on Medicine Woman, coming soon to a cable network near you!

So, I just managed to fix a problem with BlogThis, which I use to post blog entries. Until now, BlogThis has automatically added a title to each blog post, and I don't use titles on this blog. Editing and republishing an entry ditched the titles, but that was a bit tedious. Well, a simple change to the JavaScript ditches the titles completely, so drag this version of ¡BlogThis! if you would also like to be title-free.
Note that you'll now have to add your own text for each link. Any other problems, let me know.

I teach design software these days, but I don't do a whole lot of client work. Some clients are just fine, and others... Watch and learn. It's funny because it's true.

The nerd in me really likes An Anthropomorphized Brushed Metal Interface Theme Shows Up for the WWDC Preview Build of Mac OS X Leopard.
