recently released upon the vue community is chipp´s brand new vuetools, a pretty good looking featureset that makes use of vue6´s python implementation to offer it´s users a few more robust and to the point working modelling tools.
low pricetag and a decent toolset make´s it worth it´s price if you´re a heavy vue user, but it´s of course not going to replace your 3d modelling apps in your pipeline, but it for sure gives vue a few more tricks up it´s sleave and will only strenghten it´s own rightfull place in your production pipeline.

console price comparision.1976-2007
Nothing much to say about that since it´s pretty to the point all by itself and everyone´s free to contemplent over the chart.
My personal reflection is that current consoles aint that expensive at all, comparing the relative price and then weighing in the different hardware and software features of each console and well to me that put´s both the ps3 and xbox 360 in a very favorably position and especialy the ps3 comes off as more then worth it´s price if you factor in it´s media center capability.
Which of course is a moot point if all you´re going to do is play games, but even then both consoles aint that pricy.
And of course, prices will continue to fall aswell and in the end, the loss that both microsoft and sony is making on their consoledivisions right now will as always be turned into a profit since launching a console is about longevity and it´s entire lifespan, as it always has been but usualy forgotten by "media" every single time a console launch happens.

ps3.memory footprint
The playstation 3´s memory footprint keeps decreasing through each firmware update, good news both for it´s users and it´s developers and since the 2.0 firmware has been leaked or atleast has alot of rumours flying around it shouldnt be to far away so let´s hope sony is once again not just adding new features but also keeps on improving on the behind the scenes stuff.
safe and secure relationships and sex
In a recent article here in Sweden 49% of the Swedish citizens voted that a safe and secure relationship would kill the suspense and excitement with sex..
Now, for me, this is arguably a showcase as to why alot of relationships looks the way they do, for me it´s the other way around.
Sure it is exciting getting to know each other, but please..
A healthy relationship isnt boring and a good sexlife can be great from the get go, our´s was, but a great sexlife can still improve and mature, and that´s how it is for us and how i think it should be for everyone, granted that´s not the case, but to see that 49% think´s that knowing that you´r secure with your partner will kill the excitement is.. plain sad.
Shoudnt people explore each other, get to know how to please each other and improve upon it, learning knew ways, having fun and so forth, and if you can do that with a person that you know will stick around and a person you´re safe with, that should be exciting and fun, leaving room for alot more "fun" and exploration :).
Anyway, the article covered the fact that almost half of the female population (according to a german study) over the age of 30 lost interest in sex (with their partner) after a few years if they felt secure with him, because to that group of females, sex was all about bonding your male partner to yourself, once they felt that was accomplished they lost their sexual drive, which of course the males didnt.
Guess that
a: explains why more or less 40-50% of both males and females are cheating on each other.
and b: why alot of relationships seems to be more dead then alive.
The good part of the article was that 51% felt the other way around and i guess it´s in that part of the population we can see alittle hope for humanity :)
To sum it up, losing interest in doing my partner, well that would be just sad, not that a persons sexual drive wont go up and down, it will and it does for everyone, but losing interest and the excitement with doing each other, that´s just sad and a sure way of making sure either one or both partners in the relationship will end up playing with someone else.
And no, i do not support cheating, never have and i never will, it´s just not my cup of tea and if it isnt your´s, keep in mind that you have to work for it to keep having a great sex life just as you have to when it comes to love.
Not to mention that regardless of how we look at it, sex and love are closely tied to each other in most relationships and most peoples lives and minds regardless of what they say.
In the end of the day, in most cases if you stop enjoying sex with your partner, trouble is bound to happen, sooner or later(not that there arent exceptions of course).

spiderman 3.the movie, not the game
We caught it on the cinema last week with a female friend of ours but i have to say that we were alittle disapointed all three.
Sure it was wellmade, the story were alot more adult(which is usualy a good thing in our book), the fx was on target, catchy script and a cast that worked as is.
But for some reason the movie wasnt what we have come to expect seeing the first two spiderman films, i dont know, i think the movie missed it´s own legacy or something, But who cares,it´s a decent, wellmade movie that´s worth to see on dvd slash blue-ray, but it´s realy not worth it seeing it on the big screen.
Atleast in our humble opinion :)

vue6 materials.free of charge
one of the talented vue6 merchants decided to release a bunch of new vue6 materials free of charge so here you go if you happen to be a happy owner of this (vue6) soon to become a industry standard 3d landscape and scenery application.
Have to say im surprised but happy to see how quickly the media world has adapted vue to it´s pipeline, each month you´ll see more and more studios picking up vue, looking for talented vue users for both movie,stills,ad´s and website projects making use of vue.

NY Times: Ornskoldsvik spits out nhl stars
Ny times tried to cover the swedish wonder, also known as Ovik,modo hockeys hometown, just as so many other´s have tried before them, but no one has of course been capable of hitting the head on the nail.
simply put, because there´s not a single nail to find, there´s alot of reasons why modo hockey churns out so many top performing ice hockey players and nhl players.
But anyway, it´s nice to see ovik and modo and swedish ice hockey players mentioned in ny times, even tho i think they´ve seriously missed the beauty of our belowed hometown.
