Check Out This Fan-Made “Good Omens” Title Sequence
With a TV mini-series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens still in development (recently confirmed by Gaiman himself on Twitter), this “book title sequence” made by Ariana T. on Vimeo gives us a tantalizing idea of what we might expect. A motion graphics assignment for school based on her favorite book, Ariana used After Effects and Photoshop to put this visually striking video.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
Trying to find an old photo of me, to answer a question, I resorted to Google, which gave me this… San Diego 1989. Aged 28. Sandman 8 had just been published.
And a really nice blog entry to go with it from the other person in the photo.

In the run-up to Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d knock up a few card ideas for Discworld fans! Hope you like it.
278. If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star, you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy (submitted by huntingdowneden).
