Miriam pointed out to me (a couple of times) that the flash version of my interview with actor Will Arnett ended abruptly. When I checked it out yesterday I noticed that the original flash video is borked. And as I didn’t keep the original avi version, I’m having trouble re-doing it. So if you haven’t seen the whole thing, just get the MP4 version.
Watch Cam interview Hollywood star Will Arnett here.

It’s wonderful how a good edit can make a movie.
Check out these two great edits on YouToob:
The first is the wonderful 7-minute Sopranos. Unfortunately only goes up to the end of the first half of the last series, but still worth watching:

The second is the edited version of The Big Lebowski with only the cuss words left in. Wonderful, truly wonderful.

My guest today, from a delightful little café in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, is Peter Styles, co-founder of RedBubble, an online art gallery and creative community that allows artists to display, sell and distribute their works.
Peter and I talk about the site, their business model, ambitions, his background, running a start-up in Australia and the long tail of art.
