Frustration

Trying to get the New Year under way but being hampered by rescheduled meetings and uncertainty due to the weather. It's pretty outside but pretty unhelpful!

Office nearly closed

Only Jim made it to the office today through the heavy snow. At least he made good use of his time!

Augmented Music?

Little Boots, creator of a modern techno retro 80s electronic music style, has released an iPhone app where you create tour own unique versions of three of her songs by interacting with the iPhone, movement and the environment around you. It is intuitive, very interesting an strangely addictive - a fascinating use of technology.

Think Big

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.”
—DANIEL BURNHAM, CHICAGO ARCHITECT. (1846-1912)

Happy New Year

Wishing everyone associated with Cascade a happy and prosperous new year, we're looking forward to it - who will be Prime Minister, what will the economy do, who will win the World Cup, what will Microsofts' Natal be like? Most importantly did Jim get a new jumper for Christmas?

CrowdSourcing

This concert video, soon to be released on BluRay has been compiled and edited by fans from footage supplied by fans at a concert by band Nine Inch Nails. The power of the crowd in the example has lead to the creation of an excellent video with some fantastic viewpoints (it takes a minute or so to get into so stick with it).

When we have had the likes of Pixie Lott, Marc Almond or Girls Aloud on stage, all the cameras phones come - can we tap into the power of the crowd?

IMAX at Manchesters Printworks sold out all showings today and the 3D cinema full too - audience totally captivated with the beautiful cinematography and groundbreaking CGI. 3D comes of age, it's grown out of parlour tricks to a fantastically detailed virtual world. We recommend it.
