1. Chico and Rita
tonight
2010’s best musical and one of
the year's finest animated films, this utterly delightful
Spanish movie is an affecting, funny, historically accurate
and, at times, sensual story of the on-again, off-again love
affair between Chico, a Cuban jazz pianist and composer, and
the feisty Cuban chanteuse Rita. Chico, rather like one of
the forgotten musicians in Buena Vista Social Club, looks
back 60 years from the dilapidated Havana of 2008 to the
frantic, swinging pre-revolutionary city of 1948, where he
meets the gorgeous Rita. A gig with the visiting Woody
Herman band sets the pair on a romantic and musical journey
that takes them to New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood,
through the post-war history of swing, bebop and Latin
American music. There is heartbreak, but a happy ending…
‘As Brad Bird of Pixar fame has
said, animation is not a genre, but an art form…’ (IMDB)
‘Stunningly animated...Not to be missed by animation, music
and history buffs, or anyone who appreciates a good love
story…’ (MovieDearest)
‘The drawing is magnificent, with ravishing, detailed
cityscapes of Havana, New York and Las Vegas…’ (The
Telegraph)

Will Facebook
take over the world? Who knows, but it could
in a heartbeat add a search window and then we
wouldn't need Google or Explorer? This is
unlikely, but so was the iPod that took over the
music industry and the touchscreen of the iPhone/iPad
that may spawn a keyboard-less generation.
A bit of
history: Remember WordStar (Ctrl KB), it was
thought to be the first and last word processor,
then WordPerfect came along with a spell checker and
function key template, the ultimate, no; Microsoft
Word came along and we now all use that. But
now we have Facebook which does nearly all things
for all people (not for business though). It
effectively replaces letters, documents, photographs
and e-mails all at once! It is so powerful and
useful that on the iPhone and iPad the dedicated
application works in its own right, no web browser,
it's just there. |

Steve Jobs the
founder of Apple has died of cancer at 56. The
Dartmouth dot TV crew first wrote software for the Apple
II in the early 1980's followed by the Apple IIGS for
the USA education market in 1986. Later in 1991 we
bought an Macintosh Quada 900 with Photoshop and Quark
from the Apple Centre in Cambridge to produce our own
colour brochures, life was never the same for us
after this breakthrough. Today our office is a
happier place because of an iTunes music server remotely
controlled by our iPhone and iPad. Steve Jobs was
a visionary who has enriched our lives.

Don't forget the
Farmers' Market in Dartmouth's historic Old Market this
