Movie: Kurt Cobain About a Son.

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Photo: Rod Yates, editor of Empire Magazine interviewing Michael Azerrad on his movie, Kurt Cobain About a Son.
Kurt Cobain looms out of the cinema screen like a melancholic Viking, ready to pillage our minds. Like the images of other dead celebrities, the image sets off thought patterns and we classify: drug addict, father, musican.

Uncle Mike: Munge Brother Pioneers

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

I had completely forgotten about the Munge History of video production.
In the early 1990s, when Adobe Premiere was a new thing, and Quicktime overshadowed anything Microsoft had until at least 1995 - we created this video.

The director of the longest movies I am thankful I've never seen: [...]

Microsoft has a sense of English Humour

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

David Brent Management Training videos - of the same ilk as the John Cleese post Fawlty Towers management and sales training films on the 1970s - shows Microsoft UK has a sense of humour.
And way more important, is an English sense of humour.
It is obviously internal only: talking about Microsoft Values - in a very [...]

Italian Job

Saturday, April 26th, 2003

The Italian Job (2002) - maybe not as hip/cool compared to the 1960s original The Italian Job (1969) but still using MINIs!
Gordon Woolf, the God of all things PageMaker, including PageMaker scripting, runs Worsley Press - publishes a regular bulletin called Format.
