The Nokia 6121 is designed for accessing the mobile internet, making and sending multimedia messages. I put my old pre-pay SIM card in, had a fiddle and was amazed to see the g33k show website on the phone within a minute. Vodafone have worked on a technical backend to their mobile internet service, that reformats webpages for easy viewing on a mobile screen. Best of all you no longer have to sign up to a mobile internet plan, and can go online when you need to for a $1 a day. Vodafone New Zealand say... The new $1 a day casual rate gives customers up to 10MB of data – more than enough for most casual users on their mobile devices. No matter how many times you access the internet in that one day, the rate is $1 for the whole day up to 10MB. Customers will receive notification before they reach the 10MB limit. Once they go over the 10MB data limit, they will be charged at $1 per megabyte and users who regularly need more can take advantage of a suite of data plans. For the competition question to win a Nokia 6121 phone, watch the g33k show on Friday 22nd August on Alt TV, at 8 p.m. on SKY TV 65, at the Alt TV site or podcast here next week. Entries to be emailed to theg33kshow@gmail.com and we'll announce our Kiwi winner on next week's show* *competition entries from New Zealand only. We'll have more competitions for our international viewers soon! |

I have loved animation from a very early age. I was lucky to spend time at animation nights as a child, where we watched crazy old cartoons from Canada, Poland and Eastern Europea on a noisy old spool projector. I also adored Road Runner with his Nemesis Wil E Coyote, Jungle Book, and the British kids classic Dangermouse. My list of favourite cartoons could go on for hours given enough nostalgia time. Then I lived in Bristol in the UK, which is the home of Aardman Animations and lots of hot young creative companies. You can't fail to be touched by the hand of claymation and animation if you live in Bristol long enough, and the Aardman Oscars turn up in the strangest of places. The last time I was at their riverside studios, I found one of the golden statues gracing the toilet cistern. Want to be an animator? Start with this flowgram of new animation tools. Inludes Blender, GoAnimate and Christchurch company Zencub3d, and we'll keep adding links as we find them.
