Mac OS X Software of the Month: MacOSaix. It's as easy as ... 1. Choose the image you want to make a mosaic from. 2. Choose the shape and number of tiles in the mosaic. 3. Choose the source of images to use for the tiles. Fab. It seems to be freeware, and I hope the author develops it further - it could need some tweaking. Anyway, my Commander Cliff Allister McLane as a mosaic made up from hundreds of Raumpatrouille images is here [260kb jpeg download, printout recommended]. Yes, I know, it could need some tweaking as well, but after 4 hours I just got fed up ... 4:31:46 PM     |

Again. Orion. Raumpatrouille. Blogged before, but who cares. Orion in colour. A review of the stupid movie in English is here, at The Starlight Casino. Update. Anthony Rooney writes: I have to say that I enjoyed what I saw. OK, there were a few problems - I would have lost the scene in the Starlight Casino with Cliff and a drunken Hasso discussing his marital problems. It's a scene that works well in the original episode because we see where it goes, but in the context of the re-edited movie it was out of place and served no purpose. I also would have lost the scene with Cliff and his nephews, as - again - it was great in the episode it came from but seemed odd here. As those are the only two nit-picks I have I am glad to have got them out of the way as I very much enjoyed the film. The 'news' items were funny but did not detract from the pace and excitement of the adventure. The characters of the Orion crew came across well in the English translation and I had to smile when Mario was talking about the very good looking 'bird' he's been pursuing ('bird' being British slang for a good looking girl - 'dolly- bird' - similar to the American 'chick'). 6:40:49 PM     |
