[Jog - The Blog] Comic Book Nasties.: I didn’t know it’d be out so quick but here’s the first of Avatar’s licensed books from the New Line Cinema House of Horror line, just in time for the title date (make a note of that - it’s pretty rare that ”˜Avatar’ and ”˜in time’ appear complimentarily in one sentence)! Basically, Avatar is putting out three one-shots, each based on a famous New Line movie monster, with one of their most popular house artists handed the visual chores on each book. In the near (?) future, Juan Jose Ryp of the nope-still-not-finished “Frank Miller’s Robocop” will be doing “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, and Jacen Burrows of “Garth Ennis’ 303” shall tackle “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. Here, we get Mike Wolfer of “Strange Killings” fame on the pencils and inks.
[Fixing Australia] Baxter: eleven days on a tin roof, Orwellian lawyers in the Courts: Narrogin WA, 16 Dec 13:30pm - Day 11 for the first man on the roof of the Baxter gymnasium, and temperatures at Port Augusta are soaring towards the Centigrade mark: as I look at the temperature at local time in SA of 16:00pm, Wunderground.com's gauge stands at 35° C. The Department of Immigration has gone silent; Your Right To Know does not play a role. No news or updates have come in directly for a while, but in the Adelaide Court Claire O'Connor's efforts to get one of the men out of Baxter are being derailed by the lawyer for the Immigration Minister by using the 'spinline' of things being too busy at Baxter for the DIMIA psychologist as a result of the hunger strike, to have the time to look at the situation of her client .
[Boy to World] Hyperlink Evolution: My answer may have been subdued by the insuation that I was somehow jealous of Matt's success, which to some extent is healthy because his achievements are to be envied, but not to be labelled with the treason of jealously. As Matt highlights in his vlog the movement towards a visual literacy is a slow one, and as such, most are amazed by someone who can create with such a medium. Not to take anything away from Matt's formative years of filmmaking, but I think he would agree that there was a lack of a critical eye for him to gauge his progress. Similarly, I lacked a gauge of my progress, thus made no progress besides my own self-loathing and the loathing of everyone else around me.

Rick LaPlante's WebLog :: This data is not necessarily quantifiable or “projectable” onto a large population, but valuable none the less because of the ability to gauge passion and importance much more tangibly than “user checked box 7 in a 1-10 scale”. Transparency to me is a 2 way communication about what we’re building, how it works (or doesn’t) in your environment, what you’d like to see, what you don’t like (hate?), what we are doing right, etc. I used to wonder what passion would look like on the web until I saw the petition (or here for the summary) from Peter Provost on what we should include in all versions of Visual Studio. It spun up numerous threads on the topic including a different point of view from Dana Epp. Do we read this stuff? Yep, this and a lot more every day. Do we let it influence our actions? I believe we do. Sometimes it’s in the form of taking the time to explain the rationale and engage in more discussion, sometimes it takes the form of changing what we were planning, and sometimes we are going to agree to disagree. But we will work hard to be visible, understand the feedback, and provide much more transparency into our thinking and “mental model” behind these types of decisions. And I promise we will try and keep the “marketing” spin out of it.
deeptanshuv's WebLog :: If this worked, we are having auto-attach problems. This really should not happen and should be a rare case and there is no specific solution to offer, you can read this blog from Gregg to see what is going on - http://blogs.msdn.com/greggm/archive/2004/07/15/184271.aspx . I am not sure how many people manage to get to this stage - where everything above is working, just F5'ing the project fails. Do let me know if any of you guys ran into this specific issue, and what your underlying cause or fix turned out to be.
FILMMAKER MAGAZINE | BLOG: "This is a real gem from Manohla Dargis's Cannes diary: 'I'm leery of writing more because I don't think the film has distribution and I don't feel comfortable bringing the weight of this paper into the mix at this point.' She's talking about Atom Egoyan's new film Where the Truth Lies (notes from the press conference can be found here) with Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth, and Alison Lohman. Manohla, please stop. If you're worried about distribution deals and throwing the NY Times' influence around, then I guess you guys will have to start steadfastly refusing to review those films in the New York Film Festival and New Directors/New Films that arrive without a theatrical release plan.
