Fan-made Thundercats Trailer

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. This guy took existing movie clips, colorized them to make the characters look like the Thundercats and sliced them together - this is really pretty incredible.

By the way, the real Thundercats live action movie will be coming out in Summer of 2011

Happy Birthday dear Ma-ac.......

as someone else said when they saw this commercial today, looks like they invented the Mac before they invented the sportsbra.

ProPresenter

ProPresenter is the presentation software we use on Sundays at R2. Essentially everything that's shown on the screens on stage (and in the cafeteria) and all music you hear (that doesnt come from the band) comes through ProPresenter. ProPresenter is honestly the sole reason I switched to a Mac. I've always liked it, but since a crash we had on Sunday and the resulting tech support experience, I have to admit that now I totally love it. Great service, prompt response, and the right answer the first time - for FREE.

Kudos guys.

Audi Q5 - "Unboxed"

Ken Wilson's blog turned me onto Motionographer, which also turned me onto this incredible ad for Audi's Q5 SUV. Really creative and wonderfully produced.

The Invisible Chase

Bricks from Pierre-Abraham Rochat on Vimeo.

I totally ganked this from my buddy Jace's blog (which you should totally be reading because it's awesome). I hate stealing from a guy, especially on this birthday, but this was just too cool not to share.

The thing that so impresses me is that the creaters had to invision the entire "world" around these "guys" to know where everything was and how it fit together. I'm simply amazed. Enjoy!

Cynosura

I love my Black n Red notebook I got last week, but ever since I've started carrying it, a ton of people have asked my why I'm carrying around a high school yearbook.

BIG black book

Been looking for a cool notebook to carry for a while - one that I'd actually use. I figure if I spend more than 99 cents on it, I might actually keep up with it (I lose all my cheap ones), but the last leather bound notebook I got set me back $20 and lasted about a week before the puppies at it. I found this bad boy here from Black N' Red last night at Target. Man, I'm in love. It's a great size (A4 - black n red is british) has great heavyweight paper and even the little ribbon thingy. At $8 it's cheap enough to not fee like a tool for buying a book with nothing written in it.

Gmail Skins

Lovin' the new gmail skins.

PS. Dont look to close too the screen grab of my inbox - it'll ruin the surprise for Sunday.

The coolest looking car I've ever seen.

This is the Audi R8. I passed one on 311 in HP on Saturday morning - first time I had seen one in real life (Bruce Wayne drives one in The Dark Knight). Man, this thing looks great in person. Note, it's not painted silver - it all bare aluminum and carbon fiber. That's right boys and girls - aluminum and carbon fiber.... for the price of a small house or a large condo, she can be all yours.

Infamous

This is "Infamous", the show my friend Pharaba produces.  Until it gets picked up by a TV network there are mini episodes being posted to youtube every week.  It's the story of two struggling actors trying to make their big break in LA.  The rub is, until they make it, they have to have a day job.  In these guys' case, that day job is being contract killers.   

OK, BIG disclaimer time here, boys and girls...   This show's violent, a little sexist, and the language is rough to say the very least.  If it were a movie, it's easily "R".  That being said, it's smart and really genuinely hilarious.  Think Entourage meets The Professional with a lot of Lethal Weapon thrown in for good measure.  Anyway, enough talk, here it is.  You've been warned, but you can thank me later.

Opera

I'm a little behind the times on this one, but I just downloaded Opera today.   It's a free, open-source web-browser that advertises itself as the fastest available.  I don't know about that, but I do know I like it better than IE, Firefox and certainly Safari.  It's even got a mobile version for the iPhone that I will oneday own.  The coolest thing is "Speed Dial" which is a welcome screen that shows you current views of your 9 (or so) favorite sites so you can go directly to them.  Pretty awesome indeedy.
