Bunraku Trailer

looks good! GACKT!

This releases first on Demand Sept One, then at the end of Sept goes to a limited theater run in the US, which is somewhat an odd marketing strategy, particularly for a film that's strengths are action and visuals, not certain on distribution in other countries.

Art Poll for 1/11-7/11

Just a little poll, if you want to put in comments how certain images worked for you, I'm looking for responses that are 1) technical - you liked a texture or a composition. Or 2) conceptual - you like it because it is funny or in character)

It all helps as I decide to do new work this year. ;D You can choose as many as you want - but maybe not all of them!

If you need to see them you can click here

The worst attack in Norway since World War 2

Two explosions tore through government buildings in Oslo, and a man dressed as a policeman stalked youths on an island summer camp for children of members of the governing Labor Party.

Simple ways to keep your phone from being hacked.

When the phone hacking scandal was taking place in the UK, there were about 3 to 4 cell phone carriers. Once private investigators got a hold of phone numbers, they were able to access voicemail by having a list of these phone carriers and the default pin numbers for customer voicemail accounts.

This is because most people never change the pin number from the default. So, as soon as you get your new phone, create an individual pin, don't use defaults and do not use the same pin for various acccounts, as most people are known to do.

If you have Verison or AT and T in the US - complain to your service about the hole in security which allows users to access their voicemail without a pin - if the call is made with your primary phone! (apparently, this was how Paris Hilton was able to hack into Lindsay Lohan's voicemail account, so it doens't take much thought or effort.)
