One year after the incredible events of “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” the kings and queens of Narnia find themselves back in that far away wondrous realm only to discover more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time.

For the first time since my early years as a boy at boarding school back in Africa, tucked in bed, lost in the pages of a young boys dream world, I am once again reading C.S Lewis’s classic “Prince Caspian” in sight of the upcoming movie I know many are eager to see! Like everyone else I am wondering how well they can portray the book and transfer its wealth and richness across to the big screen. Disney’s website for the movie has lots of cool downloads and visual info and after just browsing the site, the cinematography and production looks beautiful.

Directed once again by veteran director Andrew Adamson, screenplay by Andrew Adamson and Christopher Markus and Steven McFeely and produced by Mark Johnson, Andrew Adamson and Philip Steuer, the film reunites the original cast and creative team behind the Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe.

May 16 my friends, hopefully we can catch the Premiere midnight show, anyone down? If not I might have to blow the magical horn and have you instantly transported there like Caspian did!

The birthplace of the Web, Cern, which is based near Geneva, is now busy working on “the grid” that boasts speeds nearly 10,000 times faster than a typical Broadband connection, and that may soon render the Web obsolete.

The grid computing project was started around seven years ago by researchers at Cern. They claim “the grid” is so fast it is capable of sending the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.
With that kind of computing power, future generations will be able to collaborate and communicate in ways that older people cannot even imagine, said Professor of Physics at Glasgow University and leading light of the project.

Scientists at Cern intend to activate “the grid” this summer alongside what they term as ‘red button day’ when they will switch on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or the new particle accelerator built to probe the origin of the Universe.

So what is “the grid”? Professor Tony Doyle, technical director of “the grid” project, said they need so much processing power that there would even be an issue as to getting enough electricity to run the computers — if they were all at Cern. Doyle said the only answer was a new network powerful enough to send the data instantly to research centers in other countries.

Doyle explained that that network, in effect a parallel Internet, is now built, using fibre optic cables that run from Cern to 11 centres in the United States, Canada, the Far East, Europe, and around the world. From each center, further connections radiate out to a host of other research institutions that use existing high-speed academic networks. Which means Britain alone has 8,000 servers on the grid system so that any student or academic will theoretically be able to hook up to the grid rather than the Internet from this autumn.

What does the grid have that Internet doesn’t? While the Internet has been built by linking together a mesh of cables and routing equipment most of which lacks the capacity for high-speed data transmission, the grid, by contrast has been built with dedicated fibre optic cables and modern routing centres, ensuring there are no outdated components that manage to slow down the speed of data transmission.

Commenting on the possibilities of the grid, Ian Bird, project leader, said grid technology could make the Internet so fast that people would stop using desktop computers to store information and entrust it all to the internet. Bird said it would lead to what is known as ‘cloud computing’, where people keep all their information online and access it from anywhere.

Here is another good article from a slightly different view from www.wired.com

The talk radio industry is dominated by freaks, fakes, frauds and phonies like John Kobylt who tend to make crack whores seem respectable and reputable by comparison.

Anybody else listen to KFI? Avid addicts like myself (when I still had a radio in my car) who cant get enough of KFI AM 640’s tough, aggressive approach to the real world, you know who you are, ever get mad at Dr Laura cause she chewed out some poor lady but also loved the fact that she was so right?

Well have you asked yourself this question, where is John Ziegler? The guy that always told it like it really was, but never got as loony and off the charts as “John & Ken”. What happened to him? Maybe you’re thinking they just moved his slot to a weird time and you just keep missing it, wrong, its a whole lot scarier than that.

Read what really happened to John Ziegler, on therealKFI.com

I will be pasting the entire site here soon.

The best part of this shoot was a truck full of people who drove by shouting “We have a camera and we are taking photographs of what you are doing!”, so we had to literally run into the street and stop the vehicle to explain it was just a harmless photo shoot. Like we’d really stand there right next the road in broad daylight and destroy public property. Come on now people…

I am rethinking the VerticalSoul Logo, actually, I have never done this for my company so I am developing the logo, here is my idea, I am more referring to the graphic, not the font. It was easy to draw and I want it to be somewhat African/Weird. Please comment.
