A 27 year old Canadian player recently got signed to Modo Hockey, The current sm gold champions in Swedens elitserien ice hockey league, Modo has done a bunch of realy good recruitments last few years, including signing Karol Krizan for several seasons, Justin morrison last year(even tho it just ended with one season),Robert döme was another highlight, which sadly ended with just one season aswell even tho the player himself wanted to stay in the club and was realy loved by the fans.
Kristian Kusela was yet one more succesfull recruitment, signed just for the playoffs, and as such he did the match ending goals in the two last games, so i have high hopes that modo once again has done it´s homework.
Anyway, im sure Patrick is psyched over coming to Modo, playing in the worlds second best ice hockey league outside of NHL and getting to play for Modo, a globaly wellknown club and recognised for it´s ability to produce NHL stars, actually more then anyother town of it´s size in the world, so it will be fun to see how much energy he can bring with him.
Welcome to hockeyville Patrick.

poserpro. when the world turns
It sometimes brings with it unexpected changes, and this is one of those.
Poser with it´s akward and unfriendly userinterface wasnt the app i thought would get a pro treatment, not that it isnt used in alot of commercial studios, it is.
But e.frontier has realy been lagging behind last few years and has been struggling with an ever growing bigger and older and slower software, but now that daz studio 1.7 is out(a lightweight app for hobbyists, but alot smoother and pro looking tho) e.frontier unleashed the poser pro version.
Great stuff and i love seeing more and more apps supporting collada, just wished that vue would do it to, just imagine how much smoother workflow would be.
Anyway, as for poser, it´s a great addition, im not found of poser myself but it´s usefull, and i hope that the pro version get´s a serious gui,workflow overhaul aswell now that it dips it toes into the pro taged app land.

life. enjoying the sun
mm, the sun and warmth just keeps on ticking in northern Sweden so im outside, working from my laptop, enjoing the sun instead of sitting inside.
It´s a great feeling being able to work outside when you realy feel like it even tho our vacation is over for this year.
great day at work in other words :)

siggraph07. and e.on
Hot on the heels of the siggraph vue 6.5 unveiling e.on decided to release the public 6.5 build, it´s what´s called an interim update and it´s free of charge for every vue6 user.
The v6i, 6.5 release gives us even better and more natural looking atmospheres to play with, or atleast it give´s us even better tools to play with, creating our own atmospheres, so no guaranteed results as with anything creative :) heck, the create art button is still not there, but anyway, this is a realy nice update and it also fixes some issues that´s been around in previous v6 updates.
But the main thing is the improvements made to the atmosphere editor and how lights affects cloudlayers.
doing a small qoute.
Download the v6i, 6.5 update here

New features in 6.5:
- Create skies with as many overlapping spectral cloud layers as you like for complex and unbelievably realistic cloudscapes!
- Revolutionary new cloud lighting technology that lets local lights affect spectral atmospheres and clouds!
- Create true-to-life thunder storms, search lights or illuminated fly through clouds.
- Render spectral atmosphere animations significantly faster thanks to the optimized spectral atmosphere anti-flickering technology!

console sales.latest numbers from europe
Here´s the latest numbers from Eu,aug 06 to be precise.
Per week, total since eu release
PS3 36,759 1,249,384
PS2: 34,617 41,786,533
X360: 18,471 3,253,571
Biggest change was that ps3 increased it´s sale´s per week with 5000 units more then what it mustered last week, it´s of course remarkable to see the now older then old ps2 selling as much as it does, but then again, sony and it´s ps2 dev´s have managed to crame out alot more performance out of the ps2 then anyone would have imagined.
And modern ps2 games actually doesnt look that bad at all and gameplay is as rewarding as always, + singstar, eyetoy and buzz is games that will always have an appeal to quite alot of people.
Which brings us to the not to distant ps3 singstar debut, a casual game like singstar will be a nice addition to the growing ps3 library.

gaming.rage by id
First trailer looked like a motorstorm rip off but the second trailer that just got released looks damn sweet and i have to say that rage might put id back at the driver seat as far as gamers are concerned and not just as a powerhouse when it comes to 3d engines.
