Sorry for the lack of posting on my part recently, we've been thick deep in our documentary work which I will be posting up soon. It’s all coming together nicely apart from the fact that our interview audio quality is not quite what we wanted. To solve this we are hiring out a sound booth and an edirol sound recorder to get some clear crisp voice quality. The other problem we have been facing is our busking subject himself. He really doesn't like picking up his phone. It's been hard contacting him and this affects our contingency time. We plan to get the final audio recording tomorrow (Thursday) And we will put this into our edit for the mastered version for the following Monday.
Back on track for what this post was about now. I found a great website called booooooom (yes the 6 o's are a part of it hehe). I don't remember how I came across it but when I did stumble onto its turf I was quite chuffed with what I had found. Jeff Hamada, an America designer, has created this website / blog containing relevant and interesting projects that are current with the times. Here is a more about it on the website, from the man himself:
" Hello friends! My name is Jeff Hamada, I am a designer from Vancouver. I created Booooooom in hopes of fostering a community of people excited to go out and be creative!
For your convenience the site has been broken up into six areas of interest, as well as a seventh section for on-going projects. The projects in this section are open to anyone! So if you’re browsing the site and you suddenly feel like ‘Hey, I want to make something’ - head on over to the projects section, follow the directions, and submit some work! Hopefully, as more projects are launched, the most inspirational work displayed on the site will be found in this section!
You may subscribe to this site via RSS or EMAIL, and if you do, you will also have the ability to indicate which sections interest you. This way you only receive notifications when there are new posts related to your interests!
Take some time to really explore the site, and feel free to contact me if you have something interesting to share or you just want to say hello!"
I felt the need to post about this due to relevant learning outcomes of my course. As you may or may not know I have to write an essay on the importance of networking. A key issue of networking is viewing other creative practitioners work and to critique it. This website helps facilitate this, consolidating lots of current designers work into one area. It’s very supportive and handy for an aspiring practitioner like me. Hope you like the website as much as I do.

Yeah it does suck that the ol' Rock Band didn't work... Gears of War worked fine though which was abit strange.. Yeah I will be picking up the RB2 instrument bundle when it comes out next week.
I LOVE that Boooooooom website. Some of the ideas on there are amazing. Sounds like you are really busy at the moment, hiring sound booths and all! I really want to do what you're done. Just for like a week. Would be sooo fun!
