Now Those Are Pancakes!

Pancake Toilet

I came across this Blog the other day and just had to share: Jim’s Pancakes. While these may not be the Mona Lisa (though if suggested I am sure he would give the mysterious woman a go), Jim does a wonderful job making weekend pancakes magical for his little daughter. Many of the images on his blog are whimsical and fun. I found myself smiling on more then one occasion. The only concern that I have is that some of these work of culinary art are rater erect and as such must be rather crispy…Crisp pancakes? I always think of fluffy soft pancakes, but then again mine are not pretty or creative like these. Never the less, makes me hungry :-D

Animator vs. Animation

With the Chosen One breaking his bonds of servitude, he is back and with a vengeance. Of course the novelty of the idea has worn off a bit, never-the-less this is still a fun clip to watch and Flash student always get a kick out of it. Watch the full clip at Atom.com. Have a look…

Not only are you not the first person to have though of this, but this awesome company has come up with a solution, check out the above YouTube clip to hear about the exclusive offer.

One of my students showed me this, priceless. Enjoy :-)

Meme You Say?

Monday, September 13th, 2010

The classic Leeroy Jenkins clip from WOW and many other hilariously fabulous ways to waste your time can be found by the ever so bored and idle though out offices world wide by visiting fun websites like YouTube, assuming that “big brother” has not restricted your access to such amazing sites… These types of clips, also famously noted “Leave Brittney Alone, Surprised Kitty and Double Rainbow, have come to be know as “meme’s” (pronounced like beam only with an m). A meme has thus come to be a concept that spreads swiftly through the internet. Despite that loose definition, a meme really has to be a viral concept which people can apply to different areas, otherwise it is just a viral clip/concept…
