• My Experience As A Volunteer At Wordcamp Boston (with Session Slides) #wcbos

    Wordcamp Boston 2010Now that it’s over I wanted to write about how great Wordcamp Boston was. Check out #wcbos or #bestwordcampever if you need more proof. Or you can relive it on the live blog. I first found out about it a couple weeks before the tickets went on sale, and I immediately wanted to go. The next thing I heard was that tickets were sold out….bummer. I didn’t even know they went on sale and they were already gone. Luckily I happened to see they still needed volunteers, which I was willing to settle for even though I wouldn’t be able to see and do everything I wanted when I wanted, and I would have to do work. I just wanted to be apart of it, and I was one of those chosen to volunteer so I would be able to go after all

  • 25 Unbelievably Inspiring Works Of Art – Masters Of Design

    It’s time for another dose of design inspiration. I think it’s necessary for designers to look at others work often to help expanding the imagination of creativity. It opens you up to more ideas and things that you wouldn’t normally even think of or consider doing yourself. I think my favorite type graphic art is photo manipulation because it is one of the most creative forms of art I’ve ever seen, and it requires an extreme amount of skill to do effectively

  • A Fresh New Wordpress Theme Design By Tweeaks

I had a reason to do it this time, and was motivated to make it the best I could, but within some requirements

  • How To Make A Dynamic jQuery Feature Post Slider For Wordpress

    jqueryI finally finished getting my new custom jQuery featured post slider working as you can see in the header of the site. It took some trial and error but I eventually managed to figure out how to get it working.

tshirtwarIt’s time for some video creativity and inspiration. After Michelle shared the T-Shirt War video with me, which I think is absolutely awesome, I wanted to post it here. I decided to just do a roundup of other stop motion animations while I was at it too. It blows my mind how they can create such videos too. If you don’t think so, then you have no idea why it should. If you did know you’d understand.

pink-floyd-the-wall-bigIt is the 30 Year Anniversary Pink Floyd’s The Wall, and as a tribute, WAAF played 30 minute Walls of Plink Floyd every hour for the entire weekend of December 4th, 5th, and 6th. The songs consisted of rare live recordings from the Wall Tour, among various other rare versions of great songs.

Enjoy the music. I am fully aware that I am a bad singer, and a complete psychotic. I cannot stress that enough. I am insane. Just ignore that part, and bask in the musical bliss

vista-movie-maker-iconHow often do you see cool special talents that people who go on talk shows do? I always see stuff that I like, or am impressed by, but I think this guy is one, if not the coolest I’ve seen. While I was sitting at the car shop all morning today, I had nothing better to do than watch the female talk shows that were showing on the tv station they had on in the waiting area, one of which was the Ellen Degeneres Show. It was something that I think took part of my man-hood to be honest lol.
Disclaimer: I do not normally sit and watch Ellen or other female talk shows.

This looks like such an awesome movie. The special effects are amazing, and I wanted to share it here because it is really inspiring as far as animation and CGI goes. If I could do this type of stuff… well I wouldn’t be sitting here writing about how awesome it is would I?

Hell NO! I would be making movies!!
Maybe someday I will be able to do stuff like this, but until then I’ll just look on with awe.

Drunk Guy Goes to Buy More Beer and Fails

tn-beerYou would think that going into a store to buy some beer would be no big thing right? Well this guy finds out that it’s not always that easy. This is really very funny, but drinking is bad, very very bad. It’s funny though when you see people who make a complete ass of themselves in public while intoxicated, but only when it’s people you don’t know, and aren’t associated with. If you’ve ever had to babysit drunk people you know what I’m talking about.

This guy though didn’t have a friend to help him, not even the customers and employees of the store would bother to help him up, but I can understand why. The guy can’t stand on his own to save his life.

Now watch this video and enjoy, it’s a bunch of laughs

mid-upbuttcocoAnimation combined with dance music always equals success, and a great music video that is worth watching. This video is one of those things you’d be stupid not to share with other people because it is just that awesome. A member on Tweeaks Forum posted a thread with this and it made my day. I don’t know what goes through people’s minds who create things like this, or what kind of euphoria they may be experiencing at the time, because normal people don’t just come up with things quite like this.

A few of my friends told me about this video, Drinking out of cups, and said I HAD to watch it, because it is hilarious.  I can see why they so highly recommended after I watched it.  The animation, done by Liam Lynch, is so well done, and goes perfectly with Dan Deacon’s random ramblings.
