DANGEROUSLY cute

Ran across a dangerously cute flash animation. It’s set up for 3D viewing, kind of reminiscent of the old ViewMaster setup. I found it easiest to view it cross-eyed, but your milage may vary.

Big Gulp

I’m pretty wired right now, and I’ve only had one cup of coffee. Of course, that cup holds the contents of an entire pot. I made sure to make a second pot for everyone else though.

New Comic Friday

It’s time for another new comic!

I’ll apologize in advance if it’s one of those comics that gets a song stuck in your head. I’ve determined through long study that the only way to get rid of a song like that is to give it to someone else. You could do this by humming, singing or whistling, or you could just send folks here to read the comic.

That thing about passing on a song to get rid of it is a scientifically verifiable fact too, not a clever ploy to get more people reading the comic.

Not at all.

Busy busy..

Prepping for an open house at work. We’re giving away two iPods, one Nano, one Shuffle. All faculty & staff are eligible to win, except for me and my direct co-workers, obviously. I’ve preloaded them with music by two of my co-workers’ bands.

Also: made a rigged demo of our new work website. Basically, it’s set up as a slideshow. Each page will automatically refresh with the next page after 10 seconds. Rigged demo slideshows are a fun use of the META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" tag.

Tonight will be cookie baking and decorating time. And maybe washing the sizing out of the new embroidered shirts with the office logo on them.

Sleep may happen at some point too. No guarantees on that though.

New Comic!

It’s Friday, and that means new comic… And just for the record, no animals were harmed in the making of this comic. A few dewy eyed orphans were horribly maimed, but the freekin’ animals are all A-OK.

It’s like the Producers, except for real

Got a couple of Smithee-worthy and related things for y’all to read. First off, here’s an excerpt from this brilliant review of the movie BloodRayne:

…If I find out that you went and saw this film after I told you not to, I’ll phone your friends up and tell them to go to your house and pour ants in your bed. And when you wake up screaming, covered in ants, you’ll think “at least I’m not still watching BloodRayne.”

This led the reviewer (one Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary fame) to do some poking into the background of the guy who directed this film… Turns out he’s a German by the name of Uwe Boll, and he deliberately makes bad moves to exploit a loophole in German tax laws. There’s a Cinema Blend article describing the whole sordid situation.

Plague!

One of the lesser known plagues afflicting Egypt was the plague of Old Dudes.

And yeah, when you compare it to things like locusts or having your sea turn into blood, a plague of Old Dudes seems quite minor. But it’s a big deal when it’s happening, believe me.
