If you live in the Porto area and have a secret desire to appear in a movie no-one will never know about, here's your chance: My class needs willing actors for a seven-part fiction film (I'll be directing the third part) which will be shot in 35mm in later April / early May. We need people of both sexes and all ages, and the casting process is already taking place. If you are interested, auditions will take place in March, and you should send an e-mail before March 5th with your personal information (and maybe a photograph) to my colleagues in charge of production at actores7@hotmail.com, so they can set a date for auditioning.···

Ah yes, that weblog design competition's results are out. This weblog came out between 4th and last (it'd be nice to know if any of the 46 voters did vote for me), and my personal favourite Lightstripping came out 3rd with let's see 0.152x46 = 7 votes, I think. Barnabé, the winners, had 15 votes. Hm. I'm not willing to act like a sour loser, but the Blogo people could at least say 460 people voted. That's be less embarrassing... for their own sake. Barnabé, despite its appealing quality (to me at least) as a good rational left-wing blog, is not exactly a website noted for its aesthetic appeal, and I think sheer traffic (I can figure it out since I have many hits from their blogroll) did play an important part since there were so few voters overall. An award based on just 46 votes... ought to feel too much like electing the class delegate in junior high.···



Via BoingBoing (as many things lately), a Flash page where you can Barcode Yourself. It does feel evil and inhuman, but it's not a very dystopian-evil-pragmatic barcode since it encodes obvious and irrelevant information (weight and height — why?), so you better think twice before even thinking about making a tattoo. You freak.···
