2nd class

So I was looking on youtube for a music video when I suddenly remembered about this video I saw long ago where a guy, Noah, takes a picture of himself everyday. I thought i was really touching and beautiful. So if you haven't already seen it, I want to share it with you.


I seriously don't think I could remember to take a picture everyday or me, let alone want to >.> Kudos to Noah though, kudos.

More on the humorous side is Lasse Gjertsen, which I've really liked all his stuff that I've seen so far and think he's a pretty nifty guy, so here's a fun video from him. Please check him out too on youtube.



Beyond that the class discussed about zoetropes, where I made a lilac mouse roll over. I was happy with it, and surprisingly I had fun with the project. When it was first introduced to me I was completely lost and was supposing everything I was doing was wrong...it was, but it worked out better for me. Click me
They're nifty little toys aren't they? And very fun to make!

I also recently came across an internet game Warpfire where you play as part of the military in the future and blow up pirating ships and collect iron, talk and interact with other people... blow up their ships..all in fun though. I think it's really cool because it can be used with any kind of basic browser and the graphics are just major sharp.

But I also got way off track, this was the video I was looking for on youtube that started my little video spree. It's a fan made video I believe to the Orbital song Halcyon. It's one of my, and probably top, favorite songs EVER. I first heard it in the movie 'Hackers'. not many people know about the film, it's from the early 90s, and was one of Angelina Jolie's earlier films. I loved how the film starts out over a city scape and enters this song in to just capture the impact of the clip, I'm just upset I can't find the opening for you but this video is ever better, least I love the science fiction intake on things and the outerspace, bright lights just gets me.



And what do you know, with my blonde, dumb luck I stumbled across it on the 'related links'

So there you go, a lot of nifty videos just for you ^.^

that's such an interesting idea to take a picture of yourself everyday. it must be so frustrating though to have to wait to gather enough for it to really amount to something. impressive that he was able to keep the exact same expression every time too.
