3-D: The Future of Movies - TIME

Sunday overtime

Up hideously early considering the clocks went forward to watch the Australian Grand Prix and, with an empty house and all the chores done, am fiddling about with bits and pieces of work. Part of that means trying to get together the material for this year's April Fool press release. Last year's, about a start-up company that had developed a new 8D system, got published in quite a few place (including here and here), so it's going to be a challenge to top that.

Preview finished

Just looked at the final proofs of Fineline Media Finance's Preview magazine, which I just wrote with Sadie at Bubble & Squeak. Good issue, with a nice piece on the RED camera in the UK kicking it all off. Previous issues (and the current one soon) here.

Small ones are more juicy
