I Wanna Be Famous

This is a short film made by Nick Fox-Geig based on a tune by Jessica Delfino. It explores an often-overlooked short cut to fame. It's a catchy song and the animation compliments it nicely. I'll be checking out more of Fox-Geigs work in the future.

It the internet there?

It will tell you, in case you were wondering.

Maze Game

Guide your robot through a maze that is randomly generated. Pick up a hammer to bust through a wall. Find a map to help you see the big picture. Escape before the time limit runs out. Waste some time while you're supposed to be doing something else.

Clock

This clock is made from images of numbers comprised of people in various poses. The creator found the images somewhere online and thought they would make a cool looking clock, which they do.

The Burg

It's an episodic series about hipsters in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They poke a lot of fun at the hipster lifestyle without letting it get too mean. The main characters are vapid and self-absorbed while convincing themselves that they aren't really. Also, it's very well made.

WEEKEND BONUS: Title Sequences from 80s Cartoons

Here's a weekend bonus. My cousin has compiled a page on his blog pulling together youtubes of a whole bunch of 80's cartoons. How many do you remember? Hooray for nostalgia.

Nate Van Dyke

Online portfolio of artist and illustrator Nate (or n8) Van Dyke. You can browse his portfolio, see some of his personal work, and even buy some his fine art. He has a distinct style and his work is very entertaining. At times it can be a tad disturbing, though (perhaps geiger-esque?), so consider yourself warned. But check it out anyway.

Flash Game Zero

This is another flash game. It lets you lock onto multiple targets and then destroy them all at once. Roll over to lock on and press 'space.'
They explode. It's pretty fun. Then bigger enemies come out that you have to shoot multiple times or aim at manually. And all of this is super slick.

Blufr

An ongoing trivia contest. This one gives you a "fact" and you have to guess whether or not it is true. It also tells you the percentage of previous guessers who got the answer correct. This seems to make me doubt my initial instincts. Interesting.

Very Funny Ads

This site features funny commercials from around the globe. It's made and maintained by the TBS cable network, and so probably ties into some show or another but that doesn't stop it from being entertaining. This was sent to me by Dave. He especially was fond of the "sexy" division and, honestly, I can't blame him.
