Winter In Vancouver

So, I took this picture while heading in to work yesterday. It's the view from outside the entrance of the Xenon building, NWFX headquarters.
Not bad for a cell phone pic.

Garto - An animated short


Wow! What a great piece of work by Spanish artist, Luis Gomez Guzman. The quality of this film is top notch all the way. Character design, fx, textures and lights, animation, music, sound design - it's a wonderfully made film and very enjoyable.
Watch the film and learn more about it at Luis' website www.gartofilm.com

Diversify your media with TVersity




I came across this nifty bit of software about a month ago. It allows you to connect various computers and other media devices and share media content such as music, pictures and video. You can even subscribe and stream RSS feeds and podcasts from the web.
I have it set up to share media from my laptop, workstation and Xbox 360. So, I can download video from the net and stream it to my Xbox to watch on my TV! I can also play my pictures in a slide show and have music playing behind it for a nice little slide presentation.
You can even access your media from outside your LAN, say from at work or while you are travelling and at a hotel or coffee shop with internet access.
Best of all, it's FREE!!

Randy Couture is my hero


Randy "The Natural" Couture aka Captain America came out of retirement to hand would be champ Tim Sylvia his ass on March 3rd.
Sylvia, known to love the idea of being crowned champ seems not to know what it takes to be a real champion. He is notorious for doing "just enough not to lose".
Notice I didn't say doing just enough to win. That would be giving him too much credit.
Anyway, Couture, 13 years the senior to Sylvia, put on a clinic. And Sylvia just couldn't take notes fast enough.


Sweet, sweet day. Oh joy!
Now I can't wait to see Canadian champ, George "Rush" St Pierre in action again. He should make quick work of fan fave Matt "the Terror" Serra on April 7. Sorry to see Matt lose as he seems like a really cool guy but I think GSP will be around for a long time to come. He's only 25 and at the top of his game.
MMA rules!

Next stop...Smallville!

My cousin Glenn just moved to Vancouver from Halifax to work at Entity FX. He'll be doing previs for Smallville. How cool is that?
