Via Draw: GET OUT OF THERE!
(list of featured movies)
The Global Entrepreneurship Week launch event had a focus on Social Entrepreneurship, with speakers including Sam Morgan, Marc Ellis, Rod Oram, and others. It sounds like a pretty cool thing. I didn’t make it along due to the Waitomo deadlines, but the whole thing is available via Massey’s mediasite. I look forward to checking that out. GEW is in mid-November, so keep your eyes open.
The Hobbit has been in the news for all the wrong reasons – and I don’t think NZ has had so much interest in such a fuzzy dispute for a long time. I’m still not remotely clear what the union is actually concerned about. My sympathies lie with actors, but I don’t know that the unions are discharging their responsibilities to well at the moment.

Sadhbh asks, are there any chick-lit novels where the girl ends up with the good guy, not the bastard? There are tumbleweeds. Well worth a read, and do comment if you have any suggestions!
FFFilm: screenshots from films. Very engaging.
The ten computer games Roger Ebert, who said games can’t be art, should play.
Very detailed interactive map of Middle Earth.
Cinema advertising tricks from the 1920s.
The pointless, creative delights of CAPTCHArt: taking one of those little CAPTCHA phrases and interpreting it through art. Often hilarious.
And finally… the Dick Tracy comic strip scrambler. Every time you reload it randomly assembles three Dick Tracy panels. I dunno either.
