Reuters today posted a news item on a possible “reboot”, as they call it, of Blade Runner.

Any film lover will agree this is pretty exciting, and whilst we’d all love Ridley Scott to make the new stuff it looks like this honour / privilege / responsibility is, perhaps strangely, going to go to the team which put together 2009′s “The Blind Side”. At least this means we are unlikely to see a lack of emotional depth in the Blade Runner “before & / or after” productions, and in a way the emotional isolation & then re-discovery of the characters in The Blind Side could well be said to, in some ways, mirror that of the Deckard / replicant emotional journey / cycle.

Origami at the ready people…

You can have a real impact on DRM in music today, and cast a vote for a fairer, better, more environmentally friendly music industry, by ordering Radiohead’s new album “King of Limbs” today, directly from their website; http://www.thekingoflimbs.com

Furthermore, the MP3 version of their album is only £6 and the WAV version only £9!

In my humble opinion they not only make great, original, music, but they are leading the way to a better tomorrow for all fans of artist driven music!

Order now to get in on the day of release (I have!) & be part of the continuing music revolution!

Penn State University’s Electronic Classics Series Site is a suprisingly comprehensive and clearly laid out resource for clear, high quality PDFs of plays, classical works, religious texts and stories from around the world! I’m envious of their impressive collection! There should be more resources like this!

Below is my very simple, clean & clear summary table of the major Greek & Roman gods, something I had suprising difficulty in finding online elsewhere!

Plans are afoot to cripple / diminish one of the “crown jewels” of English, and indeed British culture!!!
