not that i miss vancouver or anything, but this is a pretty good slideshow of vancouver, if you’ve never been there. and yes, most of the time it actually does look that good.

There’s a whole schwack of good flash games here. The best I could do at the skateboarding game was a 40% rail slide tho. A bit dissapointing. I wonder how 2D would do given his new found ability to slide on things with his snowboard.

I know 3D and Bruticus are going to like this one (even though they couldn’t help me find the Heineken font =), can anybody out there get it for me?). This site will let you design your own font online, and then download it in ttf format for inclusion in your word documents and the like. Mine was total gibberish, but I’m still hella impressed.

Also pretty damn impressive is this site. It allows you to enter some text and then click a button and it will repeat it for you in a variety of formats.

Google fan fiction. Pretty funny.

A good list of flash stuff.I couldn’t get All Your Smurf to work tho.

And finally, in the news world, Dubya has broken yet another promise to the rest of the world. It’s almost like the world doesn’t even really exist for him in compassionate terms outside the US (or even outside ofTexas really).

snow falls on this lovely new england burb. enjoy it vicariously through my webcam. refresh rate increased to 10 seconds for this momentous event.

Crusing back to drop SlantyOD and SlantyME off at their respective homes after donning our janitor uniforms and cleaning the proverbial “Floor of Volleyball” earlier that evening, SlantyK and I were discussing the merits of wandering through Eternia. This being the home of He-Man, the strongest man in the universe, I would have thought anything written about He-Man, the strongest man in the universe, would have some of the best writting…even the stongest writting in the universe would be expected by some. But as we are shown here, expectations often fall short of what is anticipated at a literary banquet.

We’re going to call that link above a pre-meal….how would you like to even call it an appetizer before the real-meal-deal. Feast your eyes on Shoot Club. This one especially wet my whistle….it made me chuckle on the inside knowing that others share the same pain that I do.

If I was any kind of good, or even fair chef I would probably feed you a little of the desserty goodness you so rightly deserve, but since I’m already feeling full you get none. NONE!!!

“She goes, “No, you’re not thinking, you’re on drugs!
Normal people don’t act in that way!”
I go, “Mom, just give me a Pepsi please,
All I want is a Pepsi.”
And she wouldn’t give it to me!
All I wanted was a Pepsi!
Just one Pepsi!
And she wouldn’t give it to me!
Just a Pepsi!”

…gets hammered down. I’ve been told that’s an old Japanese saying, and although it sounds contrary to our individualistic North American culture, that kind of sentiment might be useful in some cases.

Like, say for example, you’re on welfare. You definitely don’t want to draw attention to yourself in a way that would deprive you of your benefits… Like drawing flash animation abouts your “job search” and being unemployed and collecting donations from a PayPal account.

Like for example, OddTodd, who’s cartoons we have so enjoyed, is apparently is “so busted”.

my friend craig sent me this photo (which was apparently taken on my birthday)

on a related note, my brother and i were in a trendy furniture store the other day, and we heard a young mother sternly ask her 3-year-old child (who was throwing a bit of a hissy) “what are you attempting to accomplish?”

“i’m glad you asked,” responded the three-year-old, “this is my latest piece of performance art, which i have titled ‘i am three, and do not wish to be in a trendy furniture store.’ i hope you find it compelling and thought-provoking.”

just kidding. that’s actually what my brother said as we walked by. neither mother nor child were particularly amused.

almost forgot the unrelated stuff. my conspiracy-theorist friend kevin sent me this article. i’m not a conspiracy theorist myself, but if i were, i’d be all over this one. i might be anyway.

I’ve seen bad video games before in my career (Panty Raider, anything by Head Games, World War II online…) but sometimes a new one will come out that will redefine my opinions all over again. Unfortunately, this one will sell a ton of copies to those dance-pop music lovers (24601 and Kit-Kat).

And I’m sure that most of you have seen have heard about this, but I think that it is a classic story to finish the Olympic Games. What a great game.
