Fantastic.
Another beautiful cartoon
Do we call them cartoons anymore? Is “animation” the right word? Does cartoon imply childishness? Anyway, here it is:

Just the way Granny used to tell ‘em to me.

Whoosh!
As long as we’re talking about Hollywood special effects, this one just hurts.
Whoosh! – watch more funny videos

Stargate Studios
As far as I can tell, no link to the various TV shows of the same name.
I had no idea green screening was so common for things like walking down the street. Fascinating.

2010 Olympics
So we’ve been watching the Olympics for the last few nights, and I have a few notes.
1) Not to pile on with the hate, but the compulsory section of ice dancing, that is, watching couple after couple skate to the same song with the same choreography, is atomic-wedgie painful. You know – nothing you can’t live through, but not anything you’d like to ever repeat.
2) Googling for athlete names while watching events can inadvertently be spoiler-rific. The men’s Super-G was a lot less involving once I accidentally discovered Bode got silver.
3) As I mentioned on Twitter, I will never in my life be as good at something as Shaun White is at snow boarding. If you missed his runs, you missed something special.
4) Seriously, screw ice dancing.

If you haven’t been reading
Roger Ebert’s blog, then you’re missing some really good writing. His latest is as good a place to start as any.

Paul Graham is almost always insightful
and his latest essay is a good example of why I think so.
