Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) movie – competition
I was recently contacted by a very nice lady at Warner Bros. asking whether I would like to run a competition to promote a film. Normally I just ignore this sort of thing but (not that it happens very often!) but being that it's for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, I just had to say yes.
Like 300 (also from Warner Brothers) I have been excited ...
300 – Comic Book to Screen
Like Sin City before it, 300 is a movie based on a Frank Miller comic (which itself is based on a historical battle between Greek and Persian armies). And, like Sin City before it, the film makers spent a lot of time making sure the movie captured the essence of the comic - even making bits of the film emulate actual panels from the printed version.
300 is a ...
User Interface Bloopers
Jakob Neilsen is well known (amongst web designers) for his usability studies, and website - and he's recently compiled a list of usability bloopers often made in movies.
Break into a company -- possibly in a foreign country or on an alien planet -- and step up to the computer. How long does it take you to figure out the UI and use the new applications for the first time? Less than a minute if you're a movie star.

Firefox Extensions I can’t live without
I posted the applications I install when I get a new computer the other day, and it got some interesting comments so I thought I would post the Firefox extensions I use as well. Many blogs have this type of list but I've never felt the need to write one before. I'm hoping that the comments will help me find other useful extensions.
A lot of the extensions I use have become second nature now and if I install Firefox on ...
Top 10 funniest gadgets
Erm... oh dear! Check out the 10 funniest gadgets as chosen by Tech-E-Blog
The DVD rewinder is just crazy - but you can kind of see that it's meant as a joke (I hope). The 360 degree camera is even more crazy - you wouldn't look like a fool at all. The usb powered bbq is a nice idea, if a little impractical, but look at how many usb ports it takes up!
My favourite - the head bath! I can ...
Hot Fuzz
I went to see the new British comedy, Hot Fuzz, the other day - and it was absolutely great.
I haven't seen Shaun of the Dead, despite hearing that it's really rather good, but that didn't stop me from wanting to see this film. From what I have heard the humor and the style of the two films are fairly similar and having now seen Hot Fuzz I think I will ...
Regulus in Russian – Tutorial
Titov Anton - the developer of the Russian translation for Regulus - has put together a short tutorial explaining how to make use of the new language files. Unfortunately the tutorial is in Russian, but I am going to ask him to translate it into English so I can repost it here in the hope that others will be able to make use of it.
Thanks Titov.
