I am proud to announce the first public release of Xtatix. It’s a demo pack in video format, consisting of more than 300 demos captured in AVI and MPEG, scattered among four full DVDs. You can learn more at the Xtatix homepage, where you’ll find all the info, including the lists of the demos included, and also a torrent file you can get and use with your bittorrent client to acquire the four DVDs.

Xtatix is a totally freeware and legal production so I’ve used OpenBitTorrent as the main tracker; however you’re also free to upload the torrent to other public trackers. I hope that you enjoy Xtatix whether if you’re a demoscene fan, or if you’re new to demos and you are experiencing them for the first time.

The last two books I’ve bought for myself

So yesterday I was shopping and I pampered myself with two whimsical things I had from long ago. The first one is Gil Elvgren - The Complete Pin-Ups, which I’ve been searching for a long time, and that I found by pure chance. A wonderful thing, and with this thing of Taschen’s 25th anniversary, very cheapy. The other one is M.C. Escher, Graphic Work, and this one was also ubercheap for the quality it has. And both of them were together! I didn’t want to separate one of each other so I bought both ^_^

Fallingwater

Anyone who has read Hyperion Cantos, will have been overhelmed by the amount of references to poetry, literature, science, history and, well, any field of human arts and sciences. One doesn’t understand really the pain of John Keats until his biography hasn’t been read. The same happens at the beginning of The Rise of Endymion with the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, simply known as Mr. Wright by Aenea and the students who appear in the start of this book. Well, Wright was the designer of the fabulous Fallingwater, a house build in the woods and over a waterfall. Today the house is a museum, but those who can visit it, can witness the awesome sheer beauty of it in this Fallingwater in 3D video.
