Smash TV’s homage to the Old West – 30 years of westerns condensed into a single hour starring Clint Eastwood.
Sure where would you get it?
Painstakingly assembled from more than 50 Western movies, ranging from Sergio Leone’s early Spaghetti Westerns all the way up to 90s reimaginings such as Desperado and Wild Wild West, Gunslinger serves as a humble attempt to pay homage to one of the longest running and most influential genres of the silver screen. Whether your loyalty lies with the trusty sheriff, the dastardly villain, the ruthless mercenary, the opportunistic thief, or the unpredictable vigilante, it provides a thrilling look at heroism, betrayal, greed, loss, and justice in a time when law and order was as rare as the gold men killed for.
If you liked that, check out the two previous hour-long specials in the series: Skinemax (an ode to late night TV and B-movies with Kurt Russell) and Memorex (50 minutes of vintage 80s adverts ripped from VHS starring Ronald McDonald).

A new Cycling With… profile featuring cycle-newbie Dr. Madeleine Lyes who, sez Paddy Cahill:
…started cycling so she could enjoy trips with her boyfriend but she soon saw the potential for cycling to transform Dublin, and other cities, for the better. We went for a cycle with Madeleine and she told us the lessons she has learned about cycling, her thoughts on recent changes in attitudes to urbanism in Dublin, and about her project, an urban forum in Dublin called City Intersections.

The Illum (€1089 on pre-order) from Lytro – launched this week – is a light field or ‘plenoptic’ camera that captures all the light in a given scene, giving all manner of ‘3D’ options, like selecting the focal points of a picture after you’ve taken it.
They’ve been mucking about with the technology since the summer of 2011 and developed a predecessor to the current model back in 2012.
This one however, has a 40 (as opposed to 11) megaray sensor and is targeted at ‘creative professionals’ (you know who you are.)
The technology is also the focus of an app by Lytro that allows 3D picture viewing, not to mention ‘light field movie capture’ enabling focus switching within an animation.

Not A Bully – a website started in 2012 by photographer Douglas Sonders that aims to change the perception of rescue dogs including Rottweilers, Boxers and Pit Bulls often unfairly labelled as ‘bully breeds’.
