Note: This is just an interesting connection.

For anybody taking the art of film, watch heroes. it's full of great symbolism and music, and the way it's shot... It's fun just to analyze it, and see how masters use a camera

analog going the way of dodo

This article talks about how analog photography is starting to go out of date. The disadvantages are starting to show. Any analog photo some one takes is singular, and cannnot be replaced. With digital, you have an electronic backup that can be copied any number of times. With analog, you have to watch your film. In digital you can take any number of photos. These avantages are appealing to more and more people. Digital is slowly taking over

Bhuddists... with laser swords!

I was reading Siddhartha when the thought hit me. There was another group, another people I knew of which had many of the same values. They meditate to control their emotions, they beleive that all living things are unified, and some of them have even acheived Nirvana. I am talking about the jedi. I shuffled through the bookshelf a book I'd gotten for my birthday: Jedi Vs. Sith: the Essential Guide to the Force ( Offical )(http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_vs._Sith:_The_Essential_Guide_to_the_Force)
and what do you know, the beleifs of buddhists and jedi mix very well. The bhuddist way of living an life of detachment and meditation is exactly like the Jedi's who all must live with only one physical item: their lightsaber. Buddhist mediate constantly to control thought, and so do the Jedi, to control the force. Nirvana has been achieved by many jedi (google force ghosts) And the way the Bhuddists beleive in balance is very very simillar to the jedi keeping the balance between dark and light

An alarmingly close iCall

Thank you god. Thank you tough working digital music people. A little while ago, the digital music industry (most noteably Itunes) was wracked with worry. Royalty rates were spiking so badly that I tunes rep Cue said, If iTS (iTunes Store) were forced to absorb any increase in the mechanical royalty rates, the result would be to significantly increase the likelihood of the store operating at a financial loss - which is no alternative at all.
"Apple has repeatedly made clear that it is in this business to make money, and would most likely not continue to operate iTS if it were no longer possible to do so profitably,"
Well thank god it didn't The world, or at least everyone with Ipods, can breath easy. We are safe.

And Lo, on the seventh day, the Larry the Allmighty Studied, For He had An Exam the Next Day.

Have you ever wanted to play god? Will Wright has. He has created a game, in which you the player, assumes the role of creator of an entire species. A whole new race, that you get to create, change, and evolve however a person wants. It's a hit. Over a million units have been sold since sept 7th, and over 25 million creatures have been created. And it's easy to see why. Playing god has an almost universal appeal to people. So much in our own lives is far from our own control. Spore allows us to control the tiniest aspects of everything, from single celled organism to galactic civillization. It gives us power, and it's basic human nature to want that.
Maybe that's why it sold so well
