Vintage 80’s Rap Music Video about Training Karate.
Not sure if this was a real 80s video or just a recent joke… I did some research and did find the production company Today Video, Inc and the CEO David Seeger is the star of the video. I’m leaning towards well done joke video from the past 10 years.

Digitals by Chris Crutchfield.
This is a well done musical short film about the modern age of social networking notifications. He’s even provided the music as an iPhone ringtone.

One day I got an email, an sms, a phone call, a Facebook message and two tweets all within about 5 seconds of one another. This video is a re-manifestation of my brain’s interpretation of that event. #trustory

Their first EP album is free, and their 2nd EP is really cheap on their website.

“Pixel Galaxy” & “Web City” - My first website (worth mentioning) I started around 1998 or 1999 when I was around 13 or 14. It was developed totally with free/basic software like Netscape Composer, Adobe PageMill and the AppleWorks paint application (long before I used Photoshop for the first time).
It started originally as just “Web City” but I got a little ahead of myself and started expanding to space before I had finished fleshing-out the city part. I also got my hands on a lite version of ‘Painter’ so the graphics style changes quite a bit before I abandoned development.
Visit the archived website. It’s mostly awful except for some of my illustrations. It’s a fun time capsule from my childhood and a more primitive internet.
Wow my anti #SOPA #PIPA Tumblr post went viral yesterday. It was reblogged and liked over 1,600 times (as of this post)! Hopefully it helped raise awareness.

On a side note, the app doesn’t seem to work too well with Squarespace hosted sites (my main portfolio site).
Reminder: Rayman Origins is awesome!
It’s an easy game to overlook thanks to the glut of great games that came out at the end of 2011, but you’ll be doing yourself a disfavor by not playing this game.
I too nearly overlooked it because of limited money in the holiday shopping season. I finally ordered a copy for 360 last week when it went on sale for $20 from ToysRus.com for a limited time. If you missed that sale, it is totally worth the $30 you can now find it for from most stores like Amazon (it sold for the full $60 price when it came-out Nov 15).
My girlfriend and I have started playing co-op together and really had a blast so far.
