Moet is Murder: Grape Squish

September 12, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is one of my favourite discoveries on FFFFound all month. The original looks to be this Flickr post which hit the Digg heights all the way back in 2008. It’s had over 99,000 views. If only Digg wasn’t such a hostile community.

Hubble upgraded: fantastic new images

September 10, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Servicing Mission 4 was a dramatic makeover for the Hubble telescope. How dramatic? The following pictures speak for themselves as they let you compare like-for-like shots taken 7 years apart. The upgrade makes the telescope far more sensitive to light. The result is pretty clear; Hubble becomes a much better telescope. Hat to tip to […]

Full length live action HALO ODST trailer

September 9, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the full length and live action Halo ODST trailer that GameTrailers have managed to get as an exclusive. By all accounts it’s very good – I’m just struggling to get it to complete over Malta’s Go wireless network this morning. One to watch when this holiday ends.

Negative Space by Noma Bar

September 8, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are two examples on this blog, more on Noma’s publisher and even more at Amazon in the preview section.

If you’ve not seen the clip then go […]
