YouTube Channel w/ free nuke tutorials.  Looks like a great resource.  There is an especially interesting video about Nuke being used for the compositing of District 9.

NYC has had me browsing around old deco websites and I randomly found this advertising collection of works put together by Gatochy.  The works are categorized by decade from the 1850’s-1980’s.  Also a cinema collection of posters. Pretty sweet resource.

Hey, a great blog resource for fonts.  ilovetypography.com

Cooliris is the shiz for those who search for a lot of reference.  It’s an add-on to your browswer, I use firefox.  Basically CoolIris turns your browswer into a photo browsing machine.  Super fast, with multi-search engine capabilities including flickr.  Thanks Iggy.

I know this has been around for a while but this color picker application through flickr can be a handy tool.

I’ve been playing with Maya 2009’s new passes update and I’m really excited the way things are going.  Now one can specify framebuffers (fairly easy) for each render layer.  For the past couple of years this technique has been around (for MR) but it has been behind the curtain of big fx companies and under the fingertips of smart Mental Ray enthusiasts.  Now one can easily render out framebuffers to seperate files, or embed them into a .exr file.

An interesting threads:
