The Dork Report for September 22, 2006

  • Aww, look! The cutest li’l space­ships you ever did see, from IconFactory.
  • Vot­ing is open for the MyDreamApp first elim­i­na­tion round. You can vote for up to 18 projects, so the task is really bet­ter described as choos­ing which 6 will have to leave the island. The three I find most inter­est­ing and/or use­ful to me are Blos­som (a vir­tual plant that feeds on pro­duc­tiv­ity), Ground Con­trol (an at-a-glance view of well, every­thing going on in your Mac), and Whistler (bring­ing music mak­ing to the masses in an amaz­ing new way, which if is tech­ni­cally pos­si­ble, could be huge).
  • Two of my favorite Doc­tor Who sto­ries are com­ing to DVD as parts of the Return of the Mas­ter DVD box set: “The Keeper of Traken” and “Logopo­lis,” plus “Cas­trovalva.” The exhaus­tive repair work done by the Restora­tion Team should put George Lucas to shame for dump­ing sub-par copies of the orig­i­nal Star Wars tril­ogy out on DVD.
  • WHO’s a good dog? Park Enter­tain­ment posts details and a poster (WHERE’s the hyphen?) on their site about K-9 Adven­tures.
  • King Crim­son singer Boz Bur­rell died on Thurs­day, and DGM Live posts an free unre­leased mix of Ladies of the Road as tribute.
  • Down­load Peter Gabriel’s Pas­sion Out­takes, a boot­leg of unre­leased record­ings from the Pas­sion ses­sions and loca­tion record­ings for Mar­tin Scorcese’s The Last Temp­ta­tion of Christ.
  • Goril­laz’ Phase Two — Slow Boat to Hades, a DVD of videos and live per­for­mances from over the past two years, is com­ing out in Europe on Octo­ber 30. Comes with a CD-ROM and an absurd amount of extras.
Be Socia­ble, Share!
