Scifi channel changing their name to “SyFy”
SCI FI Channel to become Syfy; “Imagine Greater” is new message.
I couldn’t think of a more try-hard name change. Although, I’m not sure which is worse, the new “ownable trademark” or the tagline. The Sci-Fi channel will always have a warmspot in my heart. Despite all the painful ways in which they try to lose their audience. Horror movies featuring, *gasp*, another giant creature from the animal kingdom. Despite painful corporate meme driven name changes. It’s still scifi and I’ll still be watching… even if I am not tuning in directly these days. Hulu gives us yet another reason to avoid the TV. Corporate branding.

Nine Inch Nails – Iphone App
Trent Reznor, Rob Sheridan, Kevin Rose, and wired, give us a sneak peak at the NIN Iphone app. While the video focuses on the iphone app, the article has quite a few gems in it.
The free Nine Inch Nails app, scheduled for release as soon as it gets final approval from Apple, is a mobile window on all things NIN: music, photos, videos, message boards, even — thanks to a GPS-enabled feature called Nearby — the fans themselves.
“My quest in life now is to surround myself with smart, innovative people,” he [Trent Reznor] says, “instead of the gangster types who have exploited artists over the years.”

Wickedintellect.com
I had been planning on switching domain names for a long time, but I basically stopped blogging in general. Recently, my old web server started having hardware problems and I finally got around to dismantling it. I’ve had this new server up and running for awhile, but never got around to migrating the sites. While I do plan on migrating all the old content, I am in no rush… So, for now, good-bye wickedintellect.com and hello typefury.
