Ok so if you have been living under a rock Id just like to let you know Peter Jackson has finished King Kong and is Kicking but in hollywood. That was released a few days ago. Today Another Kiwi,  the creator of shrek and shrek II premiered Narnia in England, and kicked butt there too.

But there is another movie maker in New Zealand that not alot of people know about. He too like Peter Jackson has his little quirks, but more on those in a minute. What Simon Jansen made is the Starwars IV movie frame by frame in ascii. A couple of hours worth. And if that isnt enough for you …. you watch it over telnet (thats just Uber geek done by a dutch guy). How does it work?:

 This guys quirks are that he also makes turbine engines out of old turbo chargers. Now this is nothing new in itself but Simon made the first Turbine powered beer cooler out of it ) GOOD MAN. I especially like the comment

"Guinness was used as it is an internationally recognised beer. I would have used a good, well known American beer but that is like finding the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow."

On a last note the company I work for, Right Hemisphere was in the news today with a nice marketing piece with details on how our software is used by Nasa. Maybe that would explain why bits fall off the rockets. Maybe I should have escaped that string
