Studies in the Library

What do you do when you’re not working, but have to find a quiet place for studies? Well, ya head to the nearest library and share in the studying power of others. No internet at home, other than a crazy setup involving my phone (tethering rules). Been using the local libraries for their wireless internet. Some are nicer than others… :\ Only need to do this when working with web stuffs.

Been out of the cubical for over a year now, so I guess this is an excuse to surround myself with others, without feeling obligated to buy a coffee.

As a reward, I allow myself to ping the Facebook before disconnecting. Hah… “reward” on Facebook. HAH.

Ok, time to head out. It’s foookin hot up in here. This ceiling fan isn’t really helping any. I wonder why.

Two Victories for the Empire

Empire Kills Terrorist

Vader Announces Death of Rebel Terrorist

According to the Galactic Empire Times:

CORUSCANT — Obi-Wan Kenobi, the mastermind of some of the most devastating attacks on the Galactic Empire and the most hunted man in the galaxy, was killed in a firefight with Imperial forces near Alderaan, Darth Vader announced on Sunday.

Suspected Rebel “Jer” Detained

In a related victory for the galaxy, another rebel was apprehended by a squadron in the Toronto region. The unsuspecting terrorist was taken without incident. Identified as “Jer“, the rebel was armed with a concealed hot dog wrapped in paper towel and a bag full of independently financed comic books.

He was also in possession of a 20oz bottle of Coca Cola, though he denies that he was the owner. He was recorded saying, “It’s not mine!! I’m hypoglycemic!.

He is currently being detained at an undisclosed location and undergoing “questioning” in order to determine the whereabouts of other potential rebel terrorist cells.

With two historic victories in less than a single solar cycle, citizens of the Empire have reason to be proud.

Lasse Gjertsen: Multimedia Nut

Jay would probably call him a “brilliant” Norwegian, and I would have to agree. Music, video and additional points for personality. Granted, he is speaking Norwegian, but that’s similar enough to Swedish…  which I don’t know much either…   but I’ve been there…  finally.  :\

Music

Trippin Video:(tell me this doesn’t feel familiar)

Skit w/ FX: My roommate asked, “Did he really do that?”

Amateur: More music

Learn Sign Language w/ Vid-ucate

I find this funny… yet insightful… but mostly funny. A benefit of working with animators, who couldn’t help but find this amusing, and thus shared it with me immediately.

Food Fight by Stefan Nadelman

I’ve seen Stefan’s work in miscellaneous places, but Food Fight takes the cake. BoingBoing’s version of Food Fight adds some subtitles to identify the events being portrayed (for those of us that need to brush up on our history). After watching Food Fight, I immediately sought out some of his other work and was happy to come across his website Tourist Pictures. At the very least, take a look at his 2007 Reel to see some samples of his other work and to get a good feel for his style of motion graphics. It looks great and he can convey some pretty complex ideas with minimal work (at least compared to 3D). If I had a “Where Words Fail Us” award, he’d get one.
