Been a while. Just wanted to share a British documentary on the graffiti war between Bansky and King Robbo. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Very enlightening.

How can this guy sleep at night?
I know it's been a while since my last update, but I've been pretty busy with a lot of other things lately. I have been looking into vlogging, which may be the next step for Adriansvfx@blogspot.com. But down to business, what I want to talk about to day is something that I found too disturbing to not mention.
While browsing my usual websites I came across a short film about a homeless blind man. It was pretty poorly shot, but managed to get front page postings on more than one popular website. Normally this would bother me (I see a lot of trash that makes it to the front pages), but this particular video is a complete and blatant, shot-for-shot, word-for-word rip off of a Cannes Film Festival winner from 2007. It makes me sick that someone with true originality and obviously far more talent can be thieved from without any mention or recognition. Here are both videos, decide for yourself.
The Original:
The Rip Off:
Just disgusting.
Because I can.

Drumtastic
Just a short one today. Thought I would share something with you folks out there in internet land. Years ago I discovered a set of videos on youtube of a young hipster looking kid playing a HUGE set of drums. I found him again today and needed to share him yet again. I need to get a set and start playing. And inspiration like this really makes me want to.
Because I can.

The Unseen New York
Browsing my usual online sites, I came across this fun little gem of a documentary made by Steve Duncan and his brave cameraman. The documentary follows them as they explore the closed and abandoned areas of the New York City underground rail system. It's amazing what they find in these vast and forgotten caves. He also scales the Brooklyn Bridge for an unbelievable view of Manhattan Island. Check it out:

2011 Superbowl Commercials
The only sporting day of the year that i genuinely look forward to is the Superbowl. Not that I watch football at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the most boring of all sports. However, I ADORE watching the Superbowl simply for the commercials (as everyone does, lets be honest). So, for your viewing pleasure, I have tracked down almost all of them. For better or worse, here they are:
This movie looks awesome!
Another Fast and the Furious movie? SO EXCITED!

Canadian Internet Cap Scandal!
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are about to impose usage-based billing on YOU.
This means we're looking at a future where ISPs will charge per byte, the way they do with smart phones. If we allow this to happen Canadians will have no choice but to pay MUCH more for less Internet. Big Telecom companies are obviously trying to gouge consumers, control the Internet market, and ensure that consumers continue to subscribe to their television services.
These Big Telecom companies are forcing small competing ISPs to adopt the same pricing scheme, so that we have no choice but to pay these punitive fees.
This will crush innovative services, Canada's digital competitiveness, and your wallet.
We urgently need to send a clear message to Ottawa, saying that we won't stand by while some of the most profitable companies in the country indiscriminately add new fees to our Internet bills. Enough is enough.
UPDATE: The CRTC just made a decision that paves the way for new internet fees to be added to your bill. To stop this we need to raise our voices now more than ever.
