SHORT - The Goon by Blur Studios

Blur Studios have just completed their latest Short in "The Goon"

 This is an example of, a great collection of artists, writing and directing with with perfect intent, to produce a wonderfully original and well produced piece. I would never doubt that from the studio that brought us the amazing "Prey 2" cut scenes and intro animations, as well as the "Star Wars - force unleashed" collection of animations.

Animations are after the break >

Blogger - Dynamic Views

Snapshot template view by Blogger

I have just been looking through the new Dynamic Views options for Blogger.

These look very interesting and I love the development that has been made over the past 6 months with Blogger and the Google platform. As mentioned, I was trying and testing moving my blog and portfolio to another service just 2 months ago, but I decided to stay with Google due to their recent UI overhaul, which personally I love!



It seems that the old templates and restrictions of blogger 'gone by' look to be fading away, and we may be able to usher in a new, more dynamic future for the blogging platform.

I have been playing with the options and although early, and in my opinion not ready to roll out to my main blog, I would be interested to see how it handles my portfolio section, as this is looking pure pants at the moment, and I think the "Magazine" template, with a few modifications would look brilliant as a portfolio style visual display site!

I know that, at the moment the dynamic templates are fairly basic in options and customisations, due to an early roll out, but I do hope that these areplentiful when rolled out, allowing the users to deeply customise how their blog looks and operates, as I feel this is what will add real user adoption to the platform as well as user interaction, this is what I loved about the old Blogger, so this is what I wanna love about the NEW BLOGGER!

All in all, I think that this is looking fantastic! I love the progress and can definitely see me implementing these changes once more functionality has been catered for. I must say, never before have I been quite so happy, having not spent the money on any alternative blogging platforms.

Techcrunch Disrupt at SF 2011

I love this time of the year. The San Fran Disrupt conferences are always the best to watch, regarding seeing young start-ups with brilliant little ideas pitch direct to Investors as well as the five judges for the competition.

Love the interviews, the early stage launches, as well as the pitches. Will post about some of the companies when I have seen em all!

Watch it live at Ustream or through the Techcrunch
