I’m pretty much done with anything Star Wars, but I have to admit that after watching ops and getting the back-story on one of those storm troopers, I now see things in an entirely different light. I could have done without the Pulp Fiction reference though since I’m pretty much done with that one too. It takes a while to load, so be patient.

The Kenya Flash animation is SO stupid. I had to watch it like 6 times.

The Daughters of Freya is a mystery story told entirely through e-mail. I’ve thought of doing an interactive story spread across various web sites/blogs/e-mails, but the complexity of it seemed really overwhelming to me when I sat down to think it through.

Confining the story to just e-mail is certainly easier. I imagine you end up with a modern day version of one of the old epistolary novels like Dracula.

They’ll send you the first 3 e-mails for free, but you have to pay $7 something if you want the rest. It only takes 3 weeks for the story to unfold. I’m intrigued, but it seems overpriced to me. I guess it would depend on how many e-mails you actually get over the course of those 3 weeks. I suspect not enough.

Wow, clickable hotspots in QuickTime! I had no idea that was possible. It’s an interesting technology, but Van Sowerwine: Play With Me is a creepy, creepy, seriously CREEPY!!! implementation.

When she took off her clothes, I was like I don’t even want to know what comes after this. This is not at all where I was expecting this thing to go. Of course, after I ran through all the other iterations, I had to go back and see anyway. Man that thing is completely F’d up.

I’ve only watched 2 of Ninjai: The Little Ninja shorts. They’re cute, but I need to get back to a few things and wanted to bookmark it before I lost it.

The Smart-Ass Guide to Art has lots of interesting facts about some artists I’ve never heard of. I should have taken art history when I was in school.

Degas, the first in the list and one of the three I had heard of, didn’t feature much in the way of smart-ass comments, but keep clicking. It’s there.

Email the Cartoon is wicked funny in a stupid kind of way. It’s also my second link to Milk and Cookies this morning. What can I say? They’re hitting on all cylinders today.

Hey regular penis, guess what? Shun!!!11

I’m still not really here (as per my article below). I just had to pop in to say that while I use Mozilla rather than Firefox (mostly just because I prefer the way they handle URL completion in the address bar), this article about how Greasemonkey will blow up business models makes me think that I may have to switch. It sounds too great and powerful to be without. Now, I wonder if there’s a hack to “fix” the address bar.

SleepyGeek has a fun tool that creates montages from Google image search results. Here’s My First Attempt. Sort of a fun diversion for a second or two. via

I’m just a bit. Oh yes, I’m only a bit. And, I’m sitting here on capitol hill, or something like that. Great school house rock inspired flash animation about Hitachi’s new perpendicular storage technology.
