  • Never saw that coming…oh wait…

    It turns out, the Internet is now, officially, out of real estate.  Begin the INTERNETACOLYPSE!  The public bar fight between Google and Microsoft were only harbingers of the End Times. No Easy Fixes as Internet Runs Out of Addresses | Epicenter | Wired.com.

  • I tried to put my dongle in it…

    This was actually forwarded to me by my dad. My dad is awesome.

  • Lazy Teenage Superheroes

    This 13 minute independent superhero film cost $300. Three. Hundred. Dollars. Seriously, Hollywood, watch your collective asses. No one cares about your stupid award shows anymore especially when kids are making shit like this for pennies.

  • Create a pop hit in 8 hours

    This is something I would never do: try to create a hit pop song in 8 hours.  It’s not that I couldn’t, it’s that I wouldn’t.  These guys, on the other hand, did.  I think it’s awesome. You can download their song, “Lights, Camera, Action” here.  (right-click, save as…)

  • Buh-bye to Wave

    In a long line of “wow that’s not really a surprise at all”‘s, Google has dropped (or is dropping, or is no longer actively developing at any rate) Wave. Cause of death: lack of user adoption.

  • quiet

    I know I haven’t posted much here.  Part of that has to do with spending every available moment working on Museum Themes.  But, in addition to that, I’ve been guest blogging on 10timesOne and WordCamp Utah 2010 as well as trying to keep an active blog going over at Arcane Palette with posts about art…

  • 8-Bit Interactive Twilight: Eclipse

    This is a brilliantly-crafted interactive game via YouTube, that works like a choose-your-own-adventure story for Twilight: Eclipse.  Click on the choices and you can actually steer the story a different way.  Oh, and it’s done in old school 8-bit NES style. Update: In an amazing display of ignorance and thick-headedness, Summit Entertainment, LLC removed 8-Bit…
