Zodiac

According to Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere, “Anyone who doesn’t see Zodiac (Ruffalo, Gyelylehalnyealynhyal, Downey, Jr., and others) is going miss one of the most oddly arresting and excitingly different cop thrillers of all time. It is sure to be a disaster at the box office.”
I agree, I'm sure no one will go see this great cop movie, one of my favorite directors crafted this film with amazing attention to detail, yes it's VERY long, but GO SEE IT!
Lunar Transit from STEREO

A million miles from planet Earth, last weekend the STEREO B spacecraft found itself in the shadow of the Moon. So, looking toward the Sun, extreme ultraviolet cameras onboard STEREO B were able to record a stunning movie of a lunar transit (aka solar eclipse), as the Moon tracked across the solar disk.

Recruiting new talent for the studio - Part 2
First we visited the awesomely talented animators of Miramichi and left a nice impression there, and now the 3rd and 4th year classes of Sheridan College in Oakville Ontario. It was a fun trip, did some realy quick site-seeing then gave a presentation to the Sheridan students, it seemed to blow their minds to see what Flash can do and we got lots of them interested in our up coming projects. Mark and I were exhausted after over 60 interviews, some Flash demos and tutorials and then a quick tour of Queen and Young street in Toronto.

The lecture hall.
We talked about the company, then
showed them what Flash could do in
classically-trained animators' hands
and they couldn't believe it!


I was at MacDonald's apparently.
The place where angels come to bake.
The Krispy Kreme, where they make the best
220 grams in saturated fats donut delicacies you ever tasted.


We went to the Mirco store!
That's right, Mirco owns a store
and we were there!
Check out the crazy stuff that was in there!
Knock-offs of EVERYthing, movies that
just came out in theaters were selling
there in perfect packaging, 7 movies
for $20 and there were thousands
of them. A billion anime dolls and
books, along with lots of chinese foods.



The Velvet Underground... a VAMPIRE bar!!
Seriously... people dress up as vampires,
get all gothed-up, and hang out there,
you're not allowed in unless you're a vampire.
The Magic-Pony shop was proabbly the
coolest shop I went inot during our short
visit downtown, this wasa painting entitled
"The First All-Witch Acadian Hockey Team"






My first time at the Old Spaghetti Factory!
No, it wasn't an industrial plant,
it was just a nice pasta restaurant.
My first time in a subway train!
The great robot hand of tomorrow!
No explanation, it was just sitting
there in the middle of the mall.
My first time on a mono rail!!!!
Its like a train way up high in the sky!
We had to take one so we wouldn't
miss our flight, I think we went 710 km/h,
so we got to our terminal in 18 seconds.
And finaly, after an exhausting two days of presentations,interviews, and walking around in -37 degree temperature... We chilled out in Mark's Hotel Suite, where he had the water bubbling in his own jacuzzi hot tub.... very relaxing.

Unfortunately we didn't have the
chance to visit and find out if that was true.

I was drooling everywhere, shorting out
equipment from all the siliva.
