Animated shorts
I love ’em! Especially the CGI kind. Having some experience with 3D apps, I know how time- and resource-consuming it is to make a perfect animation. Not to mention the skills needed. (Allright, stop-animation with clay is harder. Sorry Gromit. But I hear … they’re also turning to computers to speed up the workflow. Heresy, […]

Windows Live Beta. Don’t bother…
As the rest of the world is doing right now, I was going to drop my two cents on the new Windows Live Beta. But in this context Beta means Broken. Severely! It doesn’t work in Firefox, but worse, it also borks in IE. If you ask me, it’s a rush job. Because the hotshots […]

Web Two Point Oh!
Here’s some easy money. Web Two Point Oh! creates a VC friendly Web 2.0 company just for you. Too bad it doesn’t automatically register domain names and/or send out business plans to VC’s. Maybe version ‘two-point-oh’ will? Just to let everyone know… Yahtix is mine and I’ll be doing tag-based collaborative document editing via instant […]
