Big Buck Bunny

And it’s out! The second open source powered movie, made from Blender, has been released. I’m already downloading it, from bittorrent, and anxious to watch it! Obviously, the download is completely free, but you can choose to order the DVD to support the team and the next open movie.

If you’re wandering, the first open movie was Elephant Dreams and I remember that the image quality was really something, so I’m really looking forward to this one!

Cube Craft

Ever felt the need to go back to your younger year and make some paper toys? CubeCraft is here for those of you!

The idea is simple: download the image, print it, cut, fold and it’s done. You don’t even need glue. I’ve made two of them, and they really rock! Have fun!

Rockstar Classics

GTA has been around for about ten years now, in more than 4 different titles. I’m sure that there are a lot of players out there who will be really interest to know that they can download the entire GTA and GTA2 games from Rockstar Classics website, completely for free! Have fun :D

Transformers

I’ve went to see the movie yesterday, and I’ve just LOVED it. I was very excited when, some months ago, I’ve seen the first images from it, and it was exactly what I was expecting.

It isn’t probably a movie for everyone, since the story is too fictional, but it is a great movie for the kid in each one of us, who has once seen the animated series of the Transformers!

WordPress 2.2.1

It is out, and for those who have upgraded to 2.2.x, upgrade might be a good idea, since it corrects some security issues from the previous versions.

Details in here.

Amazon

Last week, I wasn’t sure if I should buy from Amazon. There were some risks, like the conditions of the book and shipping issues, that could damage the book. Still, I’ve decided to take the chance, and ordered Just For Fun, by Linus Torvalds and David Diamond. The order was placed by May 27, and, today, I’ve already received it.

I was amazed with the quality of the service, the book was cheaper than if it was bought in a local store, it was really fast to arrive and the quality of it was exactly as I was expecting, without any damage.

Amazon has just got a new happy customer.
