When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

Canada’s largest online textbook exchange service just got a lot easier to use. BooksForSchool.ca, a free online textbook exchange service for post-secondary students, implemented the recently announced features which provide additional services and benefits to students.
Benefits include:
- Connecting buyers and sellers who want to exchange or sell used textbooks
- Offer discount coupons and promotions which also attract more viewers
- Allow students to print their online listings to post around their school
Concerned over the high cost of education, rising tuitions, living expenses and onerous textbook fees, student developers were motivated to find creative ways to manage the accumulating student debt load. As a result of much research and hard work by student developers, students across the nation now have an efficient system to save money and time through use of the free online textbook exchange service.
WHAT IS AN ONLINE TEXTBOOK EXCHANGE SERVICE?
It is a web site that facilitates the direct exchange of post-secondary textbooks between students. Members may buy, sell or exchange their new and used textbooks without surcharges. There are NO membership fees for students wishing to access the “BooksForSchool.ca” web site and NO commission fees to buy or sell books.
“Maximized exposure for textbooks listed online, is key to helping students become aware of discounts available to them ,” said Lawson Hennick, student press coordinator of the BooksForSchool.ca web site. “BooksForSchool.ca now allows students to print out a poster version of the textbooks they have available online which they can then circulate around their University or College campus.”
BooksForSchool.ca matches younger students with older students and vice versa, to help facilitate the sale of textbooks. Web site tools automatically inform students by email when a required textbook becomes available.
BooksForSchool.ca is a completely free service for students who wish to buy, sell or trade textbooks thereby allowing a student to retain much more of the initial investment when selling their textbooks online.
Student developer Paul Levine points out, “our peers saved over $25,000 nation-wide last year using BooksForSchool.ca and this fact has made our efforts very rewarding. Watching the growth of BooksForSchool.ca last year was very exciting and we are projecting a $50,000 savings for our members in the upcoming school year.”
Founded in 2003, BooksForSchool.ca pioneered the nation-wide online textbook exchange service in Canada. In 2005, BooksForSchool.ca combined textbook swapping with social networking, enabling students to minimize expenses and make it easier to buy and sell new and used textbooks.
BooksForSchool.ca is a completely free service for university and college students. The BooksForSchool.ca web site can be accessed by visiting: BooksForSchool.ca.

Hobbits, apes and now aliens. As if Peter Jackson’s resum? needs any more sci-fi padding.
His reputation as Lord of the Geeks is further cemented with today’s announcement that he’ll serve as executive producer of the upcoming video game movie Halo.
Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox revealed that Academy Award winners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will produce the highly anticipated feature film based on Microsoft’s beloved video game. The press release states that Jackson and Walsh will “provide creative counsel on all aspects of the film” through their state-of-the-art production companies Weta Digital Ltd. and Weta Workshop Ltd., famed for their high-tech visual effects. This is the first time that Weta is working on a major studio film that Jackson is not directing.
“As a gaming fan, I’m excited to bring Halo’s premise, action and settings to the screen with all the specificity and reality today’s technology can provide,” said Jackson. “I’m a huge fan of the game and look forward to helping it come alive on the cinema screen.”
Slated for a summer 2007 release, Halo will be shot in New Zealand, where all the cool movies are filmed nowadays. Alex Garland (28 Days Later) wrote the screenplay adaptation of the game, and a director will be announced shortly.
This partnership between Hollywood and Microsoft looks like a giant step forward in motion picture production, particularly in the world of emerging digital technologies.
“Peter Jackson is one of Hollywood’s most exciting innovators, and our partnership with him will greatly broaden the appeal of the Halo franchise,” said Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft and everybody’s favourite billionaire. Bungie Studios, a division of Microsoft, created the original Halo in 2001, and the franchise it spawned has grossed more than $600 million. “We’re confident he’ll create an epic that not only thrills existing Halo fans, but also introduces millions of moviegoers around the world to this amazing saga.”
Jackson is currently working on his next blockbuster, King Kong, which is in post-production and scheduled to open worldwide on December 14.
Tom Rothman and Jim Gianopulos, co-chairmen of Fox Filmed Entertainment remarked, “Halo, Peter Jackson & Fran Walsh, Fox, Universal and Microsoft. That is one hell of a starting five, and we can’t wait to play.”
Damn straight.
