Most people know mark Hamill as the Jedi Master from George Lucas’ Star Wars Universe, However Hamill has quite a few more tricks up his sleeve as well as a cache of familiar animated voices we’ve all heard. Hamill is also well known for being a prolific voice actor, voicing characters like Batman the animated series’ The Joker and many, many others. Hamill recently stepped into the voice acting spotlight voicing everyone’s favorite killer doll Chucky in the “Child’s Play” remake.

With Kano You Can Now Build Your Own Windows 2-in-1
Kano’s latest DIY creation is called the Kano PC, and it’s effectively exactly that. Instead of a Raspberry Pi, it’s powered by a 1.44 GHz Intel Atom x5-Z8350 quad-core processor with 4GB of DDR3L RAM and 64GB of storage which can be further expanded with a microSD card. It’s got dual band wifi, Bluetooth, a pair of USB ports, and a headphone jack (yay!).
Its 11.6-inch touchscreen can be supplemented with an external monitor using the Kano PC’s HDMI port, and its detachable keyboard almost makes this seem like the most affordable Surface touchscreen laptop on the market, because Kano has officially partnered for Microsoft with this one.
The kit still includes Kano’s STEAM-focused apps which help introduce kids to advanced concepts like coding using accessible games and fun activities, but it also comes with a 3D painting app that can produce 3D models compatible with a 3D and Microsoft Teams.The Kano PC will be available in October, and despite the hefty upgrades over the previous $280 touchscreen kit, this version will cost just $20 more at $300.
How Taron Egerton perfectly embodied Elton John
The people over at INSIDER recently did a great video in regards to the newly released Elton John Biopic “Rocketman” starring Taron Egerton. In the video it shows the extent Egerton went through to perfectly nail down John’s signature singing and performing style.
From Insider:
“From how to sing to how to play piano to how to move around on stage, there was a lot Egerton had to get right. We spoke with Michael L. Roberts, the movie’s pianist and vocal coach, about how he helped Egerton train for the role. Through weeks of rigorous training, Egerton was able to nail performances of such classic songs as “Rocket Man” and “Crocodile Rock.”
