Burning Man 2007

Just got back from Black Rock City, it was quite an eventful year: copious dust storms, a lunar eclipse, arson, a suicide, 'splosions and one amazing double rainbow. Felt like the town got a little too close for comfort the weekend of the burn, topping out at 47,097 participants. But you can't deny that it's still the most creative summer's end hoedown in the world.

70's Style: The Longest "Running" Joke

The good news: Nike has re-released their classic running shoe designs from the 70's. The bad news: they're only available in the faux-aged, pre-worn variety. The Nike Vintage site is amusing though.

EAGLE vs. SHARK

The attention to flash animation detail on the new EAGLE vs. SHARK movie site is really exceptional. The content is pretty kick-ass too: like the Kick-Ass Collage, and the Killer Soundboard. I get the feeling this film is the Kiwi equivalent of Napoleon Dynamite. If EAGLE vs. SHARK is half as entertaining as it's site then we're in for a nerd-loving chucklefest.

TRI-PONG FOR ALL!

Our infamous friend, Secil Boyd, shared he and his wife Melba's, invention with us.  And as Tri-Pong's most ardent supporter, Cheristy can attest that Tri-Pong has proven to be a great stress release.  We gotta get a tourney going soon!  Check out the rules at Wikipedia.

Prickles and Goo

Under the name FurryCarlos Productions,Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park) have brought to life the teachings of philosopher Alan Watts in 3 short animations. My favorite is Prickles and Goo but the other two shorts have their merits as well.

Free Flatpack Critters

Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build. They are designed to fit on an 8.5"x11" page and printed with any printer. You’ll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time.

Flying Colors

Stop what you are doing right now and go explore Red Interactive's new site: http://www.ff0000.com

Once you've set up the super simple ye olde thyme avatar just say "Hello There Good Sir!" to fellow visitors with the chat function. Or, if you are so inclined, you can even put your dukes up and start sparring with 'em. But I prefer just jumping up and flying into the starlit sky.

Word on the street is that this "Red Universe" was in beta form for quite a while where it was carefully refined and perfected by suggestions from invited friends and colleagues. It definitely shows in the final execution. A+

It's the land of sweets and joy... and joyness.
