Howdy folks, Jeff here with another update from up North at the Toronto After Dark 2012 Film Festival! Saturday was the third day of the festival, and as is customary, it was also Tadff’s “Zombie Appreciation Night.” Essentially, the festival programmers put two zombie-related films on the bill for the evening screenings, and they work with the Toronto Zombie Walk to integrate the two events, giving an admission discount to those dressed up as the undead.
First, however, was Tadff’s Shorts After Dark program, which showed during the afternoon and featured nine different shorts from all over the globe. Unlike the shorts that precede most of the feature screenings, these shorts are not solely Canadian-made. As with most short programs, you usually find a mixture of themes, and there are almost always a few that you love, and a few that you really don’t like. This year seemed to be pretty animation heavy.

We interview Douglas Edwards, Google's brand manager from 1999 to 2005, about his new book and discuss the challenge of humanizing information technology, Sergey Brin's anatomically correct cow costume, and how Google+ might succeed where orkut, Google's first social network, failed.
After spending years as a journalist for the San Jose Mercury News and Marketplace, in the late 1990s, Douglas Edwards became restless. In 1999, even though it seemed something like a Yahoo clone, Edwards joined a scrappy startup called Google, weathering the ridicule of his colleagues and protestations of his wife. Google's 59th employee was woefully underprepared, and for the next five-and-a-half years he spent as Google's director of consumer marketing and brand management, he felt a little like a civilian who had wandered onto a rocketship just before liftoff.
