Polaroid to stop making instant film
Polaroid has announced that they will be ceasing production of their instant film product line. With their sales dropping 25% every year on the aging offering they finally decided to pull the plug. The company will be closing down three factories that currently manufacture the film. This leaves only Fuji to carry on the tradition of the Polaroid instant film.
My family had a Polaroid camera when I was growing up. I still remember shopping for the long forgotten flash bulbs the camera used. In fact one of my favorite childhood photographs was taken using one of these cameras. I really enjoy both of my digital cameras but there are times when I have to break out my old Cannon AE-1 or my Kodak 35 to get the feel of a solid, well designed camera.
Amazing Pink Floyd Promotional Site
I don’t usually love sites developed entirely in Flash. This site promoting the new Pink Floyd box set however, has blown my mind. It is absolutely beautiful. I’ll admit that I am a huge Floyd fan but that didn’t sway me on this site. I highly recommend giving it a look and be patient, the long load time is well worth the wait. 
Get your MythBusters fix
Our friends the MythBusters have just launched their imovideo gallery. It allows you to view some of their high-speed video footage and control the speed of the playback. Let the carnage begin.
MacHEADS - The true zealots
This a preview for an upcoming movie called MacHEADS. It is obviously about the cult that has become the Apple fanatic. Not since Trekkies have I been as interested to see a film about a sub-culture that exists in our society. Over the past few years I have become a fan of the MAC but I am certainly not a zealot. I do happen to know a few though. 
Horus Heresy - The Black Library
I just finished reading the initial trilogy of the Horus Heresy published by the Black Library. The story takes place in the world of Warhammer 40k. After the Warmaster is wounded by a weapon forged by chaos he is given a choice. Either side with the forces of chaos and fight to remove the Emperor of mankind from his throne on Terra or die as the Emperor’s loyal son. Obviously the name of the series gives away what Horus’s decision ultimately is.
Dan Abnett does an amazing job in bringing this gothic world to life in Horus Rising. The second book False Gods by Graham McNeill isn’t as strong as the first installment but still an enjoyable read. And finally Galaxy in Flames by Ben Counter pits brother against brother as the Warmaster begins his move to take on the Emperor. I highly recommend this series anyone interested in the Warhammer 40k universe.
