Thursday Thirteen #29
Thursday, October 4th, 2007Thirteen Things about Mark Caldwell Yesterday my Wordless Wednesday picture was of this vase full of nuts and I promised I’d post an explanation. I was walking in Newsham Park in Liverpool a year ago. As I went under a Horse Chestnut tree a gust of wind brought a liberal shower of Horse Chestnuts down […]
Wordless Wednesday 25
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007What the sky falling on your head looks like; and you can forget collecting any ruddy larks.
How are News Stories can be Like Buses…
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007… you wait for ages and then three come along at once. Things had been quiet on the Vue News Blog for a few days. Then three stories came along this morning and the Cornucopia 3D sale that I forgot was starting yesterday too.
Vue Lighting Rig #1: Single Spot Overhead
Monday, October 1st, 2007A new and hopefully fairly regular feature for Too Many Ideas – lighting rig ideas for use with Vue. I’m going to kick off with a series of rigs inspired by theatrical lighting. Tonights rig is one of the simplest: a single spot light directly above a figure.

The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother
Saturday, September 29th, 2007"The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother" came in at almost four thousand words. I’ve done a first polish to bring it down to just under three and a half thousand so it’s the right length for Astonishing Adventures Magazine. It’s a sequel of sorts to "The Electron Jockey". I’m a month […]

Run Fat Boy Run
Friday, September 28th, 2007Went to see Simon Pegg’s latest film outing on Thursday, a romcom without any zom.

Some of the choice […]
Thursday Thirteen #28
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Thirteen Things Mark Caldwell hates about cold calls When they say it will only take a minute of your time it never is. I wouldn’t mind but they’ll never give me an address for me to send my bill. 99% are a waste of my time and the company paying for its time. I don’t […]
Bond New and Old
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I picked up the DVD of Casino Royale at the weekend and watched it for the first time since seeing it at the cinema. Definitly still the best bond for a long time, hope they keep their nerve with the next one. Watching it again I was able to pay more attention to the sound […]
So near I can almost touch it…
Monday, September 24th, 2007After a seven week break trying to formulate how I’d get through the climatic scene of the inner story I threw a couple of thousand words for Night in the Sidhe on to the virtual page tonight. 79,500 words are now on the page. 80,000 would have been a nice point to finish on tonight […]
