BlogFest 2008 - Tonight
December saw the year anniversary of this blog and I have had an idea about how I might celebrate this momentous occasion. I would like to invite you, the rubbishcorp® readers, to the spiritual home of rubbish - a pub. We can talk about blogging and stuff in a non-virtual type environment with lovely ‘actual’ drinks. If nothing else it will be interesting to see what a bunch of misfits you really are.
BlogFest tonight - The Blue Posts on Berwick Street from 7pm.
If you can, come along and I’ll buy you a beer.
Transformers - HD DVD
Let’s get our facts straight; Transformers is based on some 1980’s toys and a cartoon that had a rubbish/brilliant theme song. In Transformers world there are goodies (Autobots) and baddies (Decepticons). The goodies are led by a lorry, called Optimus Prime, and the baddies by a robot whose original “alternate mode” is a Walther P38 (funny how they didn’t mention that in the movie). Anyway, these robots have come to Earth from planet Cybertron to find an all-powerful cube thingy that could, in the wrong hands, destroy humanity forever by turning washing machines into trained killers.
Given that I knew a lot of this before I sat down to watch the film, I can hardly claim it’s rubbish. Plus the Transformers do look absolutely incredible (the best CGI I’ve seen) and it’s basically a binge fest of giant robots/guns action.
Sweet.
Be sure to watch it on the loudest biggest screen you can find (that’s not a baddie “robot in disguise” obviously).

Lovely design and stuff.
Super Lazy
This canned cheeseburger is sold by a company that develops specialist ready-meals for the outdoor, expedition and extreme athlete markets. Apparently this food stuff ensures ‘enjoyable’ food in the mountains and other extreme situations (like after a shed load of Stella and a fatty).

This is brilliant. Perfect for when I am Brilliant At Dinosaurs. Thank you Neil.
Do You Wanna Do Digital?
From Scamp:
Most above-the-line creatives claim that most digital creative work is poor, and they will be able to do it much better, when they’re asked to. However, my question to above-the-line people is… do you actually want to?Did you come into this business to sell, by any channel necessary? Or did you come into it to make ‘films’, and quite frankly you’d rather someone else took care of the banners, just like they take care of the DM.
Vote Here (as long as you don’t already work in digital).
Football In A Non Traditional Environment
Yes, I know what I said - but this is freaking brilliant. In my (spurious) defense, this isn’t for a shoe, it’s for FIFA Street 3, so there’s sort of a stronger link to the product.

Jeff Bridges
I don’t know what to make of this. It appears to actually be from Jeff Bridges, which is weird. This is obviously what happens if you are de-rezzed by the Master Control Program and refuse to say who programmed you.
