The trailer for Dark Star posted by MondAgave on youtube. Looks a little dated now, but it’s a worthwhile film.

Looks a little dated now perhaps, but it’s a film I enjoyed watching. And I thought those  three drones were fascinating. Posted by swbono on youtube:

Beautiful animation posted by Impactist on youtube:

“Spend a couple minutes in the multiverse and you may find it comfortable enough to participate in your own Parallelostory, which is just hip meta-universe slang for “parallel love story”. But remember, this is only one of an infinite number renderings of the same story that your dimensional alternates will have already viewed, are viewing, or will view.

Or not at all.

Trailer for the movie “Moon”. Looks good.

I love the style of this. As though it’s from the fifties or sixties, something like that. You know what  I mean.

Great rare video posted by Symphonyofflowers on youtube of Kate Bush giving a live and solo performance of her track, Kashka From Baghdad.

A great video posted on youtube by symphonyofflowers for Kate’s track Symphony in Blue.

Interesting video on youtube by CastingAway who has put together clips from Kate Bush’s different performances of Wuthering Heights.

Seen together like this, it reminds you what an original and talented artist Kate Bush is. Light years ahead of her time, then and now.

The source told iPhone fan blog Apple iPhone Apps that the new iPhone will launch July 17. Many of the provided specifications corroborate with past rumors that the device will introduce a digital compass and a video recorder, among other features.

32GB and 16GB storage (up from the current 16GB and 8GB models)

$199 and $299 price points to be maintained

3.2-megapixel camera (up from the current 2-megapixel camera)

Video-recording and editing capabilities

Ability to send a picture & video via MMS

1.5 times the battery life of the current models

Double the RAM and processing power

Built-in FM transmitter

“Here are my impressions/opinions on the newest Aspire One Netbook. It’s the first 11.6″ netbook and comes with the atom Z520 1.33ghz chip and GMA 500. I kept forgetting to mention things, so you’ll find this review to be very unorganized and a bit random. “

From butterscotch on youtube:

“Sean Carruthers sits down with Ray Sawall, Senior Product Manager at Acer Inc. to get a peek at the latest netbooks from Acer. The 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One and the 11.6-inch Acer Aspire One. We find out why the massive netbook category shows no signs of slowing down, and how some of the key complaints that netbook users have had will be remedied with the next generation of the popular Acer Aspire One.

A new rumour about the new iPhone at ars technica -

“As previous rumors have suggested, the camera is said to be updated with higher resolution and autofocus, a digital compass is added, and the flash capacity will be doubled to 16GB or 32GB. The CPU supposedly will see a speed bump to about 600MHz and the RAM will be doubled to 256MB, resulting in performance that has “really improved.” The 3.5″ touchscreen and battery will “regrettably” be the same.”

Interesting version of There Goes a Tenner by RobsieJB on youtube, where Kate Bush’s vocals have been filtered out and you can hear everything else more prominently. Lots of sexy Kate Bush pictures as well.

A nice video of sexy Kate Bush pictures made by RobsieJB on youtube to mark the 2007 Katemas. The track is the rare early bongos version of the single.

Michael Spicer returns as the ITV continuity announcer during the 1984 school summer holidays.

Michael Spicer’s blog – An Impressively Consistent Disappointment – can be found here and is well worth a read. He also maintains Professor Herbert Gitfist’s Blog, The History of the Message Board, which is fun.

Michael’s myspace page is here , where you’ll currently find three tracks – Chorlton and the Dealers, which contains loads of soundbites from the childrens’ television of my childhood (Vision On, Sam and the Magic Ball, Mary Mungo and Midge, Tom Baker, Rupert the Bear, etc), Mister Beat, and Madpuss, which manages to combine Bagpuss and Kate Bush.

Anyone who can combine Bagpuss and Kate Bush in the same soundscape has got to be cool.
