So how cool is this? Late last week I found out about the Game Writers Conference that’s happening this week in Austin, Texas, and now tomorrow I’m hopping a plane and heading back to the land of ribs and Shiner Bocks. Kind of like a preview for next year’s SXSW, which I’m definitely going to […]

I want to send a shout out to my brothers at Tohubohu Productions, who are saddling up for the 2005 National Film Challenge this weekend. I wish I could be there to join in, but I’ll be cheering for you from way up North!

I’m sitting in the Spinners and Bloggers forum here at MIT and it’s okay – two of my cohorts and I were tied up in a business meeting and arrived late, so it’s entirely possible that we missed all the great fire and brimstone, but so far it’s only sort of enh. A couple of […]

Every now and then I do something fairly dumb. Mercifully, it doesn’t happen often, but on days like today, when I thought I was running late to my eleven o’clock class until I got to the door, peered into the little window and saw an entirely different class, then had to pull out my datebook […]

If you’ve missed the news, you’ve been under a rock – Apple just stitched up the online video market. Between the new video iPod and iTunes 6 (which lets you buy and download music videos and ABC TV shows for $1.99) it’s a brave, brave, brave new world. I can’t get over how huge this […]

I need to get a new photo taken, because the one at the foot of this page (and which serves as my bio photo over at geoffreylong.com) is woefully out of date. I have once again grown in my winter beard, my hair is getting longish again, I am well and truly enrolled at MIT […]

Ah, yes. That’s what grad school is all about – staying up until 4AM to finish a project that’s a downsized version of the uber-ambitious project you’d had in mind at the beginning. In this case, I’d hoped to animate the logo, the ‘stinger’ (or whatever you call it) of hook-’em plot that goes right […]

It’s true. I am really, truly teh suck at blogging these days. (And yes, Mom and Dad, “I am teh suck” is a strange, grammatically-correct-to-the-people-who-use-it phrase to which you have not yet been exposed. Well, until now. Right.) There is just so much going on right now that it’s crazy. Cra-a-a-a-zy. A couple of quick […]

I was predisposed to love it, admittedly, but actually seeing Mirrormask at long last was a truly fantastic experience. So. Very. Cool. If you get a chance, don’t miss it! It’s incredible what $4M can make these days, and I’m seriously tempted to write my thesis on what I expect is going to be the […]

So according to this story over at Sci Fi Wire: Variety reported that the field of actors under consideration to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond has narrowed to Daniel Craig (Layer Cake), Henry Cavill (a contender for Superman), Sam Worthington and Goran Visnjic (E.R.). Screen tests are being completed this week, the trade paper […]
