Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog
“Aided only by everyone I had worked with, was related to or had ever met, I single-handedly created this unique little epic. A supervillain musical, of which, as we all know, there are far too few. The idea was to make it on the fly, on the cheap – but to make it. To turn […]

Tell Me A Story… And It Better Be A Good One.
h/t to Slashdot for this… Apparently, there’re plans afoot to blend a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) with a weekly TV show on the Sci-Fi Network in the US.

IPTV’s slow march takes another step, and then yawns… Given that the blog title tells the whole story, I’m not sure that this is really ‘news.’ The one bit of interest here? Long tail darling Netflix is fighting back against Apple & Amazon, to be sure. But… can they beat Blockbuster/Circuit City? We’re years away […]
Flashing The Flash: Adobe Opens Up
h/t to Slashdot on this one: Adobe has opened up their proprietary Flash formats – SWF & FLV to the developer community, removed licensing restrictions for the playback, and is making the mobile player available for free.
