Decent movie, incredible effects, even more-so in 3D. As impressed by the effects as I was when I first saw the Matrix so think I’ might be back to see it in 3D again.
Not too sure how I feel about the obligatory love story though.

This cool video is from over on boing boing and is a 2 minute sample of a 15 minute video that contains the scene where Captain Kirk winds up to, and then screams out Khaan!.
Quite the trip.
Found this over on planet gnome.
Interesting primer video about the elements and principles of design and how the apply to software inteface components. Little long and sound quality is a little kitchen-esque but still some interesting concepts relayed relatively convincingly.

Some absolute vox-pop gold off the back of a 9Raw article over at ninemsn.
As seen on boing boing. Awesome video of a single point in time during a shootout between cops and clowns.
Over on boing boing, this video was highlighted, as the first in a miniseries, the first two epsiodes of which cost just $500 to make. The cool thing about this is it’s being made using the Half Life 2 engine.
So apparently XBMC has released a PC beta called Atlantis. Downloaded both the windows installer and the Live CD.

Had problems getting the Live CD working on a whole host of dell and HP laptops. Mainly due to video card detection. In the end I got the windows binary to work on my Inspiron 6400. Works pretty well, but ran into the following issue:
I know it’s been a while since I fired up my XBOX with XBMC, but this experience reminded me a lot about the time I tried Media Portal (a PC port of the old XBMC source code base). I guess it’s far easier to run a slick system on specific deidcated hardware, than generalist PC hardware.
It’s come a long way, and I’m incredibly impressed, but I don’t quite think it’s ready for the lounge room yet.
