FilmCow :: Videos and Animations

FilmCow :: Videos and Animations

I only watched "Charlie the Unicorn" 1 and 2. The first one, I read, is by far the most watched original animation on youtube.

Funny stuff. It's not offensive, but despite the name, it's not a kids video. FYI.

Horror: Internal Microsoft Vista Video is as Painful as Videos Get

Oh, I wish this hadn't been made... or that I hadn't watched it...

Horror: Internal Microsoft Vista Video is as Painful as Videos Get: ".' Seriously, how did this little slice of cringe-inducing embarrassment ever get made?"

Urgency is poisonous - (37signals)

Like in so many cases, people doing really good things do it in really cool ways. On the other hand, sweat shops usually churn out ho-hum junk by really unhappy people...

Urgency is poisonous - (37signals): "So far our four-day work week experiment is working. We haven’t found ourselves collectively wishing we had an extra work day a week. We haven’t found ourselves gasping for extra hours. Instead I feel like we’ve been more focused and working better together."

Alice.org

Alice.org

Learn how to code while making games and 3D animations w/ a graphical interface and have fun. A great way for kids to learn.

I believe Alice 2.0 uses Java and characters the Sims 2 game.

The head guy for this, Randy Pausch, was diagnosed w/ cancer in August and gave a great speech about his life.

Mailinator - Let Them Eat Spam!: "How do I create an account at Mailinator? It's simple, you just send email to it"

Great tool for avoiding spam - just use unique email addresses so you're not checking someone else's (and they're not checking yours).
