We speak here of writing, film and other media, but I’ve been taking a look at a blog that speaks about design. Design tends to sit about and when its good - we hardly notice it, when its great - we go “Way Cool”, and when its bad we tend to gripe. Yet despite the [...]...
Time to mention a useful and free resource to all artists working in a digital medium. I am referring to the digital artists handbook. You can pick it up from:
http://www.digitalartistshandbook.org/
The objective of the handbook is to be a source of valuable content that bridges the gaps between arts and various platforms and resources. The handbook [...]...
I torn as to whether this should be a news post in the magazine or here in the Projects section. I figured that what I’m about to talk about only grows and exists so long as it is worked on - so its a project.
A Shared Creation group now exists on Facebook. It’s purpose is [...]...
I’ve just discovered a new blog that takes on the job of issuing advice to new film makers. This is a great personal project by Marion - a 32 year old commentator from Canada.
If you’re interested take a look at this blog at: http://www.myspace.com/maryscolumn

Many-to-Many points to one of two new Michael Gorman postings: Siren Song of the Internet contains a curious omission and a basic misunderstanding. The omission is part of his defense of the Luddites; the misunderstanding is about the value of paper and the nature of e-books. This statement does not go far enough. Read Gorman and you cannot help but agree with some of the more obvious statements that he makes..."the Internet in particular and the digital resources available to us in general are ineluctable forces that are shaping our lives, in many ways for the better" or "we must exercise judgment, use digital resources intelligently, and import into the digital world the values that have pervaded scholarship in Western societies for many centuries" You are lulled into a false sense of...
I rarely have difficulty figuring out where to place an entry. Then I heard about castingfirst.net and realised that it had to go into both magazine and projects sections of Shared Creation. So here is a quote of the entry in the Magazine. Enjoy
We’d like to introduce you to castingfirst.net Putting it simply this is [...]...

Sayaka
(a learner from Swansea) has created a website called
Vocab Tester
. You register and then create your own vocab list (as I've done below), then test yourself. You can even create vocab lists for other languages as well if you happen to be learning more than one language at once!

It
is still not known when the deadline for objections to the GCCC application
will be. But the sooner they go off the better.
So please write your letters now!
The fact that you wrote before about the first application no longer counts.
Please do it again.
The key new point is that it is much the same as before (bar the prettying
up and the spin) but the GCCC documents accept all the criticisms that
were made last time.
This
document contains all you need: it's RTF format so will work
in most wordprocessors. As before though, use your own words, rather than
cut and paste. And don't forget to write to everyone - not just the Planning
Department....
No, not another sale, but a real chance to put money into the campaign
to protect Cardiff's historic parklands - and have something to show for
it. Today the Hit
It For Six shop goes on-line. Here you can buy an exclusive range
of campaign goodies - all designed to promote the message into 2006.
The "Just Say No!" range uses bold typography to let people know
what we are concerned about - stopping Glamorgan Cricket Club developing
one of Wales' listed parklands with a 17,000 seat stadium and a 2,500 spectator
permanent indoor arena. Those braving the weather - or in central heating
- can sport the two sided T-Shirt with the "Just Say No! and Hit It
For Six logo on the front, and the full text on the back. Or you can argue
with colleagues at work over the coffee mug.

Since
Glamorgan Cricket Club have submitted a new application - albeit with minimal
changes to the old one - Objectors have to start from scratch. That means
new Petitions, new objection letters. It's most important too that
as many objections are tabled within the 21 days period since these will
be reviewed by officers and commented in their report. The planning department
has made it clear, however, that all objections received up until the day
of the meeting WILL be tabled for committee - it's just that they won't
be recognised as such in their report.
We don't know if the application will be at the January Meetings (there
are two on 18th and 25th) since there are other consultations such as the
Conservation committee which have to be completed. The Next Meeting
is 15th...
