Here is the link to the site. I recommend 1970, 1994, and 1995

I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane if you grew up in states. Cracked was the one thing I could convince my dad to buy me once every couple of months at the grocery store. It was literally the best thing that happened to me in the early 90’s. Thanks for checking in.

If you’re interested in killing some time at work today, then shoot over to dampgnat.com and play some games. I highly recommend Icycle. Check it out!

Keep it real!

So do you all remember Emi Evans from the Mecha Groove show? Well if you don’t you can see who she is here. OK, now that you have familiarized yourself with her. In the interview she talks about recently doing some singing and voice work for video games. Are you interested in which game she is working on? Well ponder no more because here it is.

Hey I could be wrong but I’m about 99.9% sure that’s her lovely voice backing that epic and airy music.

ALSO! Do you like things that are funny? Jesse recently stumbled upon this funny article on a forum. Just make sure you keep reading the responses as it gets funnier as you read on. Enjoy, and thank Jesse for this wonderful find!

Get ready. This ‘internet’ thing is going to be huge.

One of the most exciting things about this job is getting involved with people who do their own thing. That is, people who have been committing 100% to their passions long enough to see them go from interest to hobby to freelance to career. Everyone I’ve met who has made it through that chain seems insanely happy, as well they should be.

For example, VIRG has been dancing since he was ten. That’s where his heart was, is and will be. Perhaps, you’ve seen him and the things he does. His birthday party is this Sunday at Vuenos in Shibuya. The party is from 4:00 – 10:00 PM on September sixth in the Year of our Lord 2009 (平成２１). If you are around that district, you should definitely check it out. Performances abound (01 Crew, J-Team, J-Kids, VIRG, Gemini, Shisei, DME Boys, and so on and so on). We will be there with our trusty cameras. If you see us, be sure to wave and smile like you’re having a lot of fun (which, no doubt, you will be).

Another perennial thing-doer in Tokyo is Deanne The Hooplover. I know she has a last name and I even know what it is, but anytime I ask her to say it on camera, she just says she’s Deanne The Hooplover… Anyway, she loves hula-hoops (a bit of information I’m sure you have already reverse engineered from her title).

Honestly, hula-hoops just look like circles to me. But, in the hands of this woman and her friends, they become so much more. These women makes these circles go in circles. This process might sound like geometry homework, but it is actually one of the most incredible and hypnotic things in the universe. These girls hold dominion over circles in much the same way Poseidon holds dominion over the ocean.

If you want to bear witness to such majesty, you should pass by Yoyogi Park (assuming you’re in Tokyo) this Sunday. I am under the impression that they will be hooping near the lake-thing area of the park, but I could be wrong. They’ll be doing their thing from 1-4. If you show up, there will surely be at least one circle that you can spin in a circle (again, way more fun than it sounds). Also, Deanne is collecting for a hoop-based charity. So, bring all that money you were trying to get rid of and I’m sure she’ll find a more than worthy use for it.

Without further ado, here are the new 3D pictures. In case you don’t have glasses, I’m posting the 2D versions.

Well, he’s back on the silver screen* with Avatar. Here’s the preview:

I think we all can agree: WHOOOO!!!!!!

* ‘Silver Screen’, in this case, referring to the silver matte necessary on the exhibition screen to prevent diffusion between the stereo polarized images and not referring to the silver sheen that was prescient in cinema’s infancy when black and white film development actually used a silver halide.

Another new addition to the site is our BLOG. Come here to check out what we are doing, what we are into, and what we have to say about it all. Check back regularly as we will surely have radical new content for you to consume on a daily basis. Thanks for stopping by!

We took some video, but it’ll be a little while until that’s edited. In the meantime, you have to settle for these 3D pictures (and their colorful 2D siblings).
