Flektor is really cool. It’s amazing(and really fun) what you can do with 40 minutes and some images:
‘Video game development approach to web app development
Flektor was acquired by Fox Interactive primarily for the great product that they built for personal media sharing. Unlike the more en vogue approach to Web 2.0 development of releasing early (and often times buggy), Flektor took an approach that is more common in the video game development business. Flektor invested time and focus up-front on building a platform (or toolkit) that would enable rapid iteration of the service in the future. ‘
These are the guys that founded Naughty Dog software afterall. They produced such titles as Crash Bandicoot as well as Jak and Daxter using their own platform called GOAL (Game Oriented Assembly Lisp). There’s no real surprise that they could get 20M+ for Flektor in just under a year.

Yesterday a fire started in griffith park consumed 200 acres and by this morning is up to 600 acres. The video clip below is shot from Hollywood Blvd and Vermont Ave in Los Feliz. I lived on Los Feliz Blvd and Hillhurst a few years ago which is a few miles closer to the SW edge of the blaze.

“Welcome to Costco, I love you.”
Idiocracy, the second live film by Mike Judge (the 1st was ‘Office Space’) is a Science Fiction, Action Comedy set 500 years in the future. The world is inhabited(and ruled) by dysgenics while 2 unfortunate people from a failed military hibernation experiment in 2005 have the unfortunate chance of waking up in a completely bungled future. Luke Wilson gets a shot at the U.S. presidency because he ‘discovers’ that the dying crops of the world may grow again if they are watered instead of being fed a futuristic gatorade.
