Well it appears that it is official that the new 2008 Singapore F1 race is going to be held at Night!  How awesome is that going to be.  Some of the fastest cars flying around a new track in the dark.  Awesome.  September 2008 can not get here quick enough now.

This will be the first time in history of Formula 1 that a race will be held at night time.  As long as the FIA doesn’t monkey this one up, this should be incredible.  Way to go Singapore.

The inaugural Singapore event, to be held on a new street circuit, is scheduled to take place on September 28…. tick, tick, tick… quicker damn it.

Oh snap, finally some sound on the web for free. I am talking about sound samples in the nature of 30K all for free.

What is the service basically?

“Soundsnap is a free online sound library and community for sound designers and producers. People can upload sounds and share them with the world. ”

It was started it says by Tasos Frantzolas, a young sound designer living in Athens, Greece. Well I say hats off, because this was seriously lacking thing in the digital world. Anyone doing sound work knows that in the past you did one of three things:

1. Buy a sample CD(s)
2. Buy a sound effects “library”
3. Make your own. (What are we LucasArts here?)

All three choices usually meant a great deal of money (if you wanted any kind of quality) or #3 meant way to much time and work.
