Big Buck Bunny

Blender is an Open Source 3D animation program with a lot of promise. But perhaps the most intressting thing about it that there is also an Open Source based moviemaking community around it. They have previously released Elephants Dream which was OK, but nothing special. However, the look and feel of this movie, Big Buck [...]

Who can be a druid?

Recently I found my self at a party in the north (well, Småland…) and after a while the subject turned to the meaning of the word druid. What does it mean to be a druid? Who decides who can call him/her self a druid? Does the word druid mean anything if it means different things [...]

Reviews coming up soon! But a little something.

Well, two nice  things happened this week in the world of web. First Firefox 3 Beta 5 was released. So far I’ve only played with it, but having used most of the betas, I have to say, it looks good, it’s fast, compatible and reasonably stable on my system (Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11). The [...]
