Video Treat for lingering Shamboteers

For a quite some time I’ve been sporadically working on this animation idea, and have FINALLY finished it! It’s based on a video I took of my cousin playing one of his songs when I visited Vancouver a while back. I’m pretty satisfied with the result, so I hope you like it!
(Watch HD if you can)

Thank you Ben Thompson for your patient help and waking up early with me the day we made this !!!

“Ni no Kuni” is Studio Ghibli’s first attempt at a video game along side the wonderful development studio Level 5 (Professor Layton series), and it is going to be released on the Nintendo DS and PS3.

Where is John Lassiter!?

NPR’s Sunday Puzzle vs. ActionScript 3

Today I was listening to podcasts and came across this week’s Sunday Puzzler. Take a listen…

A doozie!
Well, I got a little idea to solve it new-school by letting the do computer the work.

All I needed to do was find a list of countries in the world, then make a little app that could read that list and compare the country names against each other. Evil genius laugh…

Three possible answers! That is TWO more than the “puzzle master” Will Shorts found! PaChow!

I’ll be swimming in NPR lapel pins come this Sunday.

Brenda’s grad party turned into a marketing think tank, and Allison was smart enough to document it on a napkin which I later found in the trash.
Patents pending.
