Three-Minute Fiction

I participated in NPR’s Three-Minute Fiction contest for February. To be precise, I wrote 600 words in about half an hour just before the deadline. The first I’d heard of it was when Weekend Edition said “last chance!” So I thought, “what the heck? It can’t hurt.” I’ve been having a lot of trouble with what my mom calls the “butt glue” lately. That is, the thing that gets you to sit down, turn off the TV, close the browser, and just write. I figured I wouldn’t have a shot in Hell of winning against thousands of entries that had more...

Her Morning Elegance – Human Stop Motion

Another great example of animation, though a totally different type. Very creative and original! And of course, inspiring.

Blue Hippy Cats

I think this video is brilliant on a few levels – the dry humor, the character, the counter-culture anti-Na’vi sentiment…but most especially the animation. I think it’s wonderful, and I desperately want to learn how to do this stuff. …Anyone know how to put together a home-made motion capture studio for less than $1k?  :P

Testing Wave in WordPress

So I finally got my developers sandbox account for Google Wave! …Only problem is that the sandbox accounts (username@wavesandbox.com) are apparently different than the preview accounts (username@googlewave.com), and they don’t connect yet, so it won’t let me find or chat with the only people I know who have accounts. :) Anyway, I’ve been spending last night and today trying to figure out how to embed waves into WordPress, so I can experiment with the liveblogging that I mentioned in my last post. It took awhile just to figure out how to add robots like Bloggy or WP-Bot so...

A Wave of Change

First of all, if you haven’t seen it already, go to wave.google.com and view the 80 minute demonstration video. Go ahead, I’ll wait. I’ll even let you go sign up for the service, because I know you want to! Or, if you’re impatient and don’t feel like siting through 1.3 hours of cool demonstrations, at least check out from about minute 19 to 22, which is what I’m going to be talking about. So you can see how Google Wave is going to completely change communication, right? Not just the tools that we use to communicate, or subtle changes such as character-by-character...

So I Did This Interview…

…on Tall Tale Radio. Tom Racine was kind enough to contact me about being interviewed for my ArtBloom project for his podcast series on art and cartooning. I won’t go into detail right now about ArtBloom and the philosophy behind it, since we get into it during the interview. But visit Tall Tale Features to hear more, or you can listen to the interview below. I hope I didn’t sound too out there. Sometimes I can get pretty thearetical. :P Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to...
