With the New Year, Artisan has been busy working on some interesting projects. Karl actually spent New Years Eve in Hong Kong as he was off Directing a new TVC for Canon. He has a blog entry on it here. Returning briefly to Australia, he shot some Camera tests for a new Documentary called “Machete Maidens Unleashed” which kicked off on the 1st of Feb. Karl also has some interesting reading on Machete Maidens via his blog here. However before he could start this production, Karl flew to Jakarta to start the ball rolling on a TVC project scheduled in March. Currently Karl will be away for all of February and most of March, shooting the Doco in the USA, the UK, France, Manila & Singapore. You can follow along here. Additionally he will continue on in Singapore, finishing the Canon TVC before heading to Jakarta. There he will shoot another TVC. It certainly sounds crazy but somehow it all just works! On the home front, Bronte has been busy working on a new campaign for Preshil and coordinating the reworking of several older jobs. It’s been a fantastic start to the year so lets hope it continues.

Hurricane Celia
Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm’s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA

- Some Windows CE-based ATMs especially generous (and vulnerable to hackers) 29 July, 2010Speaking at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, a fellow named Barnaby Jack (really!) used custom software to hack Windows CE-based ATMs on stage. After using an industry standard key to gain entry to the machines (apparently many ATM owners are too lazy to install new locks on their machines) Jack was able to load a rootkit on the device using a USB thum […]
- iMac's latest 27-inch iteration requires special parts for your own SSD in second drive bay 29 July, 2010One of the few highlights of the refreshed 27-inch iMac is the new SSD option for its second drive bay. This sure is good news for performance addicts carrying some spare cash, but with the 256GB SSD addition costing from $750, some may prefer the DIY route to save a few pennies for that gold iPad. Sadly, it won't be as straight forward as sliding in a […]

- Anybots QB telepresence robot: nag employees remotely for $15,000 29 July, 2010Anybots has a new telepresence robot, the QB -- and while it certainly seems to be an advance on the QA, which we saw at CES 2009, we gotta admit that it's not nearly as cute as its predecessor. Marketed towards CEO-types, this bad boy can be controlled via your PC (or eventually your Mac), and it features WiFi b/g connectivity, 5 megapixel camera, spea […]

The guys worked tirelessly for a month on this, constructing every mechanical component as if they were a […]
