Animator vs Animation

A friend of mine just passed me the following YouTube video. It's a great example of someone who is extremely talented and creative with Flash. It's worth a watch.

Enjoy!

NYC Gas Leak?

If you're listening to the news, chances are they are talking about the gas leaks in NYC. Those of you who know me may also know that my roommate, aka, 'the doctor', is somewhat of a rocket scientist.

He said that a single bottle of mercaptan could cause all of Manhattan to stink like gas, seeing that gas only has one part per billion of mercaptan added to it.

Apparently a bad joke played on people at oil/gas refineries includes putting a drop of mercaptan on the engine block of a car... :-)

Interesting interview about Steve Wozniak

I just read a good article about Steve Wozniak. It brings out a few little known secrets about him and the hand he had in creating Apple, along with details about what he's really like. Here's a funny tidbit:

There are so many prank stories. I mean, they’re absolutely endless. Steve carries around books of two dollar bills. He actually goes to the mint — I guess if you have enough money, and you pay them enough money, they’ll give you your own sheets of money. And they’re funny, because they’re perforated. And so every time you go out with him,instead of paying like a normal person and giving them the cash; he holds out these long rolls of perforated two dollar bills and says, “How much is it? Okay, let’s count down… 2, 4, 6, 8… Okay, I’ll tear right here!” And at this point, the woman or the man behind the register always says, “That’s not real money. We can’t accept that.” And of course, it is real money, it’s just how he presents it.
