Battle in Krugerpark

Posted by Sibran - 29/08/07 at 10:08:49 am

A battle in the Krugerparkt with lions, crocodiles and a herd of buffalo.

Someone took this footage with his camera and put it on youtube.
Now he has some great response from National Geographic:

We’re going back to Africa with the National Geographic Channel to work on a special that will air later this year and will give the behind-the-scenes story on how we got this amazing footage.

Another perfect example of the power of Youtube!

A gentlemen’s duel made by Blur Studio is a short film about two guys, fighting for one girl…

After seeing this short movie, I went surfing for the company and I was surprised!! Their work is awesome. Animation for “The Simpsons trailer”, “Transformers: The Game”, “Coca Cola”. I didn’t know this is the company behind all these first class animations.

You can view the short film and their animation reels (the links) at read more.

Hold the Quechup

Posted by Sibran - 02/08/07 at 09:08:05 am

“During the signup process, Quechup.com suggests it search your address book to check if some of your email contacts have already signed up as well, so as to give the networking process a head start. We’ve seen this before with bonafide websites like LinkedIn or Facebook (which, incidentally, i do vouch for, since they have never sent me any spam nor sent mail on behalf of me without my consent — so far, that is). So call me gullible, I gave it my details and indeed, found a couple of people already on the site (amongst whom the woman who had invited me).”

A colleague and his story about Quechup, read his article.

By the way, Quechup.com lookes like a meeting website for singles, searching for a partner, NOT like a good social network like facebook or myspace!
