A good song accompanied by a cool music video, they've used Little Big Planet to record the footage of their in-game avatars for it.
Middle of March see’s the third iteration of the Flatpack Film Festival run by the inspiring 7inch Cinema peeps. There's a whole host of great stuff being shown around Birmingham highlights for me have got to be:
It’s great to have such an inspiring event happening in the city and is a must view for anyone into (experiemental) film / music / animation.
Fantastic!
This application lets you create color schemes with alot of examples(how it looks on a light and dark website) and gives you some handy information about the color vision deficiency relating to your current color scheme, pretty nifty stuff. If I had to choose between this and Adobe's own kuler i'd say Color Scheme Designer, just because it's stronger overall due to it's handy features.

Quite often I'll find myself suddenly subscribed onto an unknown mailing list usually offering garbage. This isn't the case with 14 Tracks — although it's taken 5 or 6 weekly emails before I finally clicked through to see what it was all about. Well that's a lie, I was going to unsubscribe... weekly emails? Urrgh!
Anyways, what I've discovered is a great source of new & obscure music supplied via Boomkat. Each week a theme is explored and tracks are hand selected to form the infamous 14. It's a great way to hear new music, especially when there is simply too much out there to wade through.
"Our selections aren't meant to be definitive, they have been specially
compiled and curated in order to introduce you to incredible music that
might otherwise have passed you by. The selections are made up of those
tracks that have filled our record boxes, music that has always
triggered a reaction, that people have asked us about whenever we've
played them out, or when they've passed by our office and wanted to
know what it was we were playing."
Even better, buy all 14 tracks and you save 50% off the total cost. Bargin. It seems like Wednesday's are now days to look forward to.
Brilliant.
So... here's 14 Tracks covering the best of Basic Channel - Mmmmmmmm
Ever wanted to know what your website is valued, money-wise?
Now you can find out using Stimator, an application that checks your sites base value, volume, recognition, popularity, social score and other factors, and renders an estimate worth for you to either brag or cry about. Though the result is a rough estimate and should of course be taken with a grain of salt. Fun none the less however
This is the worth of our website:
