The end of October brought me to the tenth annual Planet in Focus environmental film and video festival held here in Toronto. I can’t say enough good things about this yet-untapped gem. While undoubtedly bigger this year, it still hasn’t reached the proportions of some of the other better-known, and longer-running local film fests. That’s […]

This is big considering their source (a pulsar) spans a mere 19.3 km. The particles have had such wide reach because the pulsar spins incredibly fast: seven complete rotations […]

Jeff Berman, one of the fantastic segment producers at Daily Planet, is working on a behind-the-scenes piece for this upcoming IMAX 3D feature, directed by Howard Hall. I’ll be working on the web-side version, for our soon-to-be-relaunched site, www.DiscoveryChannel.ca. Digging around on the doc site, I found this neat widget. I spent a large part […]

Embedded video from <a href=”http://www.cnn.com/video” mce_href=”http://www.cnn.com/video”>CNN Video</a> You can view the image, and the specks on Gigapan.org. […]
