For the price of a movie ticket ($8-15), WonderCon is definitely worth checking out this weekend. Part film fanfest with cast/crew screenings, part kitsch-o-rama with toy novelties, comics and tees, action-packed with aliens, creatures and celebrity mentoring everywhere.

Noise Pop, WonderCon Rocks SF
It’s a world class gorgeous day in San Francisco, the type of day where kids sell lemonade at the beach and everyone is smiling. Sun is beaming down on the Castro as music industry folks are starting their day at Noise Pop’s Industry Noise to discuss indie music, technology and what’s working. Produced by Bandwidth’s [...]

And The Winner Is…Oscar.com
The show was warm and fuzzy if not awkward at times, the staging dramatic, but the real winner of the night was the synced updates on Oscar.com. So even if you were in a restaurant without a tv, and couldn’t stream the flash on your phone, you could still get the winners blow by blow. [...]

GameFly on Demand
The problem with buying any titles (video, music, games) is the boredom factor. After a certain number of plays, it’s great to try something new. So rental is revolutionary but with a week turnaround, GameFly is far from the solution. Hopefully Netflix will buy them, but til then XBLA and WiiWare are the only [...]

Simone Nelson, BAWIFM board chair, flew in from the Berlin Film Festival. Brenda Chapman, Director, The Bear and The Bow (TBATB) left Reese Witherspoon and flew in from L.A.

Gripes, gripes and more gripes
As dramatic as the Djokovic melt down, Serena’s triumphs, and Federer’s tears at AO 09 were the trials and tribulations of the online timeshifter in search of the midnight matches. ESPN.com really needs to pay attention to audience demands for front and center online streaming. Same can be said for the Grammys. The best moment of the [...]
