Cool Translink iPhone App

So this has nothing to do with my projects, but I was told about this site which was developed by some people that I went to school with... and this is an incredibly handy application.

For those that use the transit system in British Columbia, this page which is tailored for your iPhone will be a life saver. Numerous times I've arrived at bus stops wondering when the next bus will be, or where the other stops are... this site interfaces into the translink database and gives a nice easy to use interface to all that good information. More features on the way as well!!!

How I feel at work on a daily basis...

I'm so sick

Those with Rock Band may be sick of this song... but I love it. Again, this video is done with video game machima [mainly WoW, but I think there is some Bioshock in there too], and I think that the editing is crazy well done - professional quality for sure. Ragnaros makes a cameo if you look closely, as does Reliquary of Souls.

Picnik - Online photo editing tool

While doing some research for what I'm doing at work I ended up on Picnik which does online photo editing. It's pretty cool and I'd suggest having a look if you wanted to do some easy, free, photo editing.

Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros

Again, I know this is old, but I TOLD YOU that I was just going back and finding all my fav youtubes and such!!! Anyhoot - if you *haven't* seen the Flight of the Conchords before I'd look up some more of their stuff ['Business Time' for starters].

Stop Motion Music

This guy apparently can't actually play the drums or piano, but stop motioned himself [making individual notes] into an entire song. My favorite part is at about 1:30 where he brings in the piano as well as the drums... pretty darn catchy.

Too much cute

I didn't think it was possible, but this kitten may have broken the cute barrier. Here is my kitten moment of zen for this afternoon:

Code Monkey

Not only is this a song about being a code monkey... the video is also done via World Of Warcraft machinima. Doesn't get much nerdier then that - and I LOVE it!

Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his "Thing A Week" podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year.

I actually bought this song from his site for a dollar :) I find it pretty catchy, and his concept of a song a week is really neat.

1 Guy 2 Guitars

Again, it's an older video... this is Zack Kim playing the Super Mario theme on two guitars. I can't even air guitar properly...

I wish I was this cool of a kid...

So this video is a little old, but I'm trying to go back through and find all my favorite youtubes from over the years.

These kids are amazing. DJ Sara was 8 years old when this video was made, and her brother DJ Ryusei was just shy of 5 years... SAY WHAT!

So here it is...

I said I wasn't a blogger, and that I didn't really have anything interesting to say... but if nothing else this will give me a nice place to store all those wacky links to crazy things that I find funny and amusing. I may also torment those few readers with pics... who knows... but here it is.

Sometimes when I'm sitting on the couch and I want something but don't want to get up, I say "go go gadget arms" and thrust my arms out in front of me. So far nothing has happened... but when it does it will be freaking cool.

GO GO GADGET ARMS!
