Czech Republic gets new logo

"Selling a country's image abroad is by no means an easy task - and when a survey six months ago indicated that many of the Czech Republic's neighbours thought the majority of Czechs were peasants whose major export was sunflower oil, it became alarmingly clear something needed to be done, to present the country in a rich, relevant, and above all, more truthful light. The Foreign Ministry announced a competition to find a new logo for the Czech Republic by the end of the year. The winner was chosen last week." Read the article on Radio Praha's website.

.Mac refreshment

Got into my .Mac account page and found the following note: "Your .Mac account now has 1 GB of combined email and iDisk storage for you to use, any way you choose." Cool.

Beside that, a new breed of animal, called .Mac Groups: "How revolutionary is an idea if you don't tell others? What fun is a photo if you can't share it with anyone? What's a party if no one comes? Welcome to .Mac Groups — your place to get connected with friends and family online." Doesn't this sound like a blog to you? More to come.

The incredibles

I've seen Pixar's The Incredibles and it was just great. I can't wait for the DVD to be released! It's extraordinary how far the 3D animation as a discipline has come in the last 15 years – even though this movie it's not really about 3D animation only if you want to look at it that way – it's about complex character development and the perfect pace of a masterly written script.
