Only recently got wind of this, but the bugle has been a popular podcast over at the times online for around 2 years.

Given the direction epicfu is going, I think it is worth bringing Oliver postgate to attention here. He was a maker of children's TV programs from the 50's to the 80's, and he sadly passed away in December 2008. He was a true pioneer in terms of fil…

The Late Oliver Postgate
Given the direction epicfu is going, I think it is worth bringing Oliver postgate to attention here. He was a maker of children's TV programs from the 50's to the 80's, and he sadly passed away in December 2008. He was a true pioneer in terms of film, animation, and storytelling.
What's prompting me to write this now, was that I witnessed a documentary on UK terrestrial TV Last night that is

If only all gadget strip-downs were like this...
Sod Boring manuals in both paper and PDF format. Think what you like about my attempt at making replacing a touchscreen fun.. but techrestore have owned this area with a capital "P", with awesome stop motion videos of unboxings and dissasemblies. Like, for example, this one of the more recent PSP Go.

Great show. I love Extranormal. It's so easy to make robot movies without a video camera.
FYI, I'll be interviewing Zadi at 2:30 Eastern on 9/2 on http://thepulsenetwork.com for http://stevegarfield.tv
The show will be archived too.
but, well, i just wanted to share this new SPARTA i created !
Yeah, Pookie loves Photoshop.
Hey, on this week's show we highlighted some of the most creative projects we've seen on the web recently, including the amazing Star Wars Uncut and Footloose Remake projects.
What the best collaborative web project you've seen recently?
bookpatch.com
