The amount of advertising getting tagged onto posts in subscribed feeds is getting to be a joke. Getting to the point where the footprint of adverts is bigger than the post itself.

Oh dear. It’s one of those birthdays. The kind that knocks on the door and ask for directions. Or the guy that asked for your digits. The hung-drawn-and-quartered kinda birthday.
I always did really well at school, but never particularly excelled at anything. For me, the process was always as important, if not more important than the product. What can I learn? How can I do better? Is the right question being asked here? Always a shout-out loud reason to love algebra. Always my Friday treat. Always something new to draw freestyle in Art.
And now, somehow I find myself doing that again. In the evenings, I stick my fingers and thumbs in all of the plum pies. Tasting. Prodding. Feeling. Does this smell good?
Perhaps, it’s the realisation that this year wears a pretty dress. Or that the things we do and the people we share those baubles with is our great work in progress. I’m choosing more of those things and I want to choose more of those people too.

The Darklight Film Festival and the EU Commission are holding a competition for shorts. Snip:
Make a short film, one inspired by the notion of Democracy & Dialogue. Go on… It doesn’t matter if you record it on your mobile phone, a state of the art digital video camera, or create your own DIY animation – the idea’s the thing. Make it a comedy, a tragedy, a documentary, an animation – whatever takes your fancy. It’s about self-expression. And if it gets people thinking, even better.
The maker of the winning short nabs a HD video camera. More details on the EU Ireland site.
A quick peep over at the IFI’s weekend sees a pair of movies exploring isolation in wildly different ways. Lars von Trier’s Antichrist is set snugly beside the closing film of the French New Wave festival, Godard’s Bande à part.
