Blade Runner Fans In Heaven
It's finally here. After six years in limbo the definitive version of Blade Runner, one of the most formative films of all time, is to be released in five days, in a mind-boggling array of formats. This was the first adaptation of the unparalleled Philip K. Dick to make it to the screen, starting a trickle, then a stampede that has seen ten stories in all adapted so far. (And there's more on the way... news soon!)

A Revolution In Auto Tech?
I just came across an article about an insane dude who can soup up a car to do zero to sixty mph (this being Amerika and all) in five seconds while getting sixty miles to the gallon. With massively reduced emissions. Fueled with used deep-frier grease. Really.

New Poem Published
I've got a new poem in TEXT, the Journal of the Australian Association of Writing Programs. Find "Countdown" in Vol. 11 No. 2 (October 2007). I've been tracking this publication since time immemorial and never really thought to submit until recently.

Deal Of The Year: Samplitude For A Tenner
Computer Music magazine is available for about 10 euros in this country. Generally it's hardly worth that, since it's not exactly brimming with investigative articles. For a beginner, however, the introductory reviews and tutorials are ok.
But every now and then, CM justifies its price on the basis of the software they stick on the "free" DVD that comes with the magazine. And in issue 119 they are offering the baby of the best multi-track recorder money can buy, Samplitude 9 SE. Even at the list price of 50 euros this is a great deal -- at a tenner it's a no-brainer.
