Here's another handful of items about recent appearance of Blender in the international media: a new Blender tutorial in 3D World magazine, an interview with Enrico Valenza in the Italy, mentions in two German magazines and finally the appearance of Elephants Dream on DivX.com

*After the great interview of @ndy, Mark continues on through his list of interviewees at Siggraph 2006.

Wim Claes shares a .blend file that he created to learn the basics of the Blender animation tools.

We are all different. Separated by boundaries too numerous to count. But we can always rely on one thing, one thing that binds us all together for a single grand purpose – great 3D.

Walaber has published a freeware game called "Walaber's Trampoline". What makes it interesting (besides having a totally original and crazy concept), is that most of the modeling was done with Blender and that he used the Ogre3D game engine.
