Apparently this came out about a year ago, but I totally missed it. It’s Bruce Campbell singing the Duran Duran classic, Hungry like the Wolf, for an Old Spice commercial. I love it! When did Old Spice get so hip?

36,000 Americans die every year from the flu
I was watching a press conference this morning by the CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention), and they were going over statistics from the Swine Flu pandemic. They stated there’s been 1 confirmed death here in the U.S. as a result of the Swine Flu. To put that number in context, they said on average, 36,000 people die from the flu every year in the United Sates alone. I found that number shocking.

I just love this commercial.
Is After Effects Gobbling Up Your Hard Drive?
I recently discovered that After Effects (CS3) wasn’t deleting it’s Media Cache files when I quit the application. The folder had swelled to 6.19 GB.
I’m not sure if this is a bug in CS3, or if all versions of AE suffered from this problem. But, if you’re an After Effects user you may want to make sure you haven’t (unnecessarily) lost some drive space. On a Mac, the folder is located at ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/After Effects CS3/Media Cache Files. You can either manually toss the content of the folder, or you can open AE on go to the Memory & Cache preferences and click, Clean Database & Cache.

If you think they’re singing about yard work, you’re just not paying attention.
