Zuckerman has entered the HBO/Cinemax contest over at Machinima.com.
When asked about the contest and his entry he responded:
So, I decided to take my favorite MMO, City of Heroes, along with my favorite machinima-making tool, Moviestorm,
and make a little spin on “This American Life” hosted by Ira Glass, a
documentary series about everyday people which then became “This
American Hero” hosted by Johnny Barbarian — don’t ask me about the name
— a documentary series about Superheroes.
This first episode
focuses on the life of an old Mexican superhero by the name of Javier
Jimenez aka “Mr. Fantastico.” I had to cut it short — I cut to
commercial — because I found out about the conetst a little late but
the next part is being worked on and I know where it’s going and I hope
it’s kind of surprising.
That’s it. Oh, and “The Radical”
Ricky Grove is the voice of Javier and once you hear him I know you’ll
want to have ten billion of his babies.
A Moviestorm’s a comin’.

On May 5th, Trent Reznor, frontman for industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails posted a short message on his blog stating “This one’s on me,” and released the band’s latest album The Slip for free on their site.
The Slip is the band’s newest studio album, a followup to the four-part instrumental album Ghosts I-IV
released in March, the first volume which he also released free on file
sharing sites. The remaining portion was released in a variety of
formats include low-cost digital downloads and inexpensive CDS, along
with a higher cost deluxe edition.
He posted the album’s 10
tracks - which are available in a variety of audio formats accompanied
by files containing the album’s artwork and credits - “as a thank you
to our fans for your continued support.” CD and vinyl versions will go
on sale in July. He also urged fans to share the album however they
like:
We encourage you to remix it, share it
with your friends, post it on your blog, play it on your podcast, give
it to strangers, etc.”
Reznor has been an outspoken opponent of the traditional model for music distribution and NIN split from record label Interscope in late 2007:
I
have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the
business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very
different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a
direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.
As of this writing, there are 8759 Comments on the NIN blog about the download.
