Stratus
I might as well spill it here too.

Some of you might remember that PDF I linked to about something called Stratus a while back. Basically, it's a hosted server that can handle Adobe's new protocol RTMFP (Real Time Media Flow Protocol).

Anyway, long story short, it has now been released for beta usage if you sign up for a developer key.

In other news
MochiMedia is beta testing a way to let anyone with a minimum budget of just $100 buy advertising space without going through their sales team.

Very. Very. Cool

I got Left 4 Dead on Sunday and I'm loving it :X It's a bit buggy and my laptop sucks for gaming but it's still fun.

Back to work tomorrow, 8-5 :[ I haven't worked for 3 months (been at uni) so this will be interesting to see if I can remember.. how to .. serve burgers. YEAHH BOY.

Todays been great.
Left over chocolate b-day cake is great too.
Also, site updates - more comin' soon.
Another also, The Mars Volta are pretty sweet.

Some of you have probably seen this, but these pics of the riots in Greece (which seem very over the top but I have no idea about Greek politics so I'm not going to judge) are absolutely amazing. I already set the green laser picture as my wallpaper, it's breathtakingly cool.

Highlights: lone policeman, biker with petrol bomb, angry man, coca cola gun, flower = peace, let's do the running man, shoot the floors, Anarchy Rules, "meh", PEW PEW, melting children, dance for peace, sweating blood.

I realise that's a big list, but I could have easily included more. I love photography, especially with things like this - when things are happening, frantic things, a photo can literally speak a thousand words.. it gives us an insight into what is happening but also creates a totally separate and beautiful thing.

Here come the Winter Break collabs!
I actually love how everyone comes together for collabs, my favourite one in the making would have to be the pork and beans collab, and Jon Foreman - In My Arms Collab is going to be really great, just look at the animator line-up!

RE: Greece Riots
Oh my. That's horrible! Hopefully, those riots don't circulate to Canada! If they do, I'll have to keep Derek inside for the Winter!

Speaking of Winter....

RE: Winter-Break Collabs
I agree with SweetSkater, I sure do love the cousyness and feelings that circulate when a break comes about! Those collabs look promising. Hey Derek boy, Why don't you join one? You silly chump! :)

xoxox hugs and kisses xoxox

The running man and the guy with blood dripping from his sleeve are amazing shots. I should show you some of the pictures I took at the Phillies riots a month or so ago...definitely not up to the magnitude that these are, but it's by far the most intense thing I've been part of. I'll upload them somewhere and link the best one of these days.

I too love photography.

what is his post about anyways o.o

The current batch of flash adverts
Is it me or are these things becoming... well... decent? I mean there are plenty of boring adverts and ones for games that just don't capture your attention... but at least three have gone out of thier way to actually click on them to see what they're about.

SHIT SON! Some of those are epic, i like the angry man haha.

My friends sister was just in greece, apparently those riots were schedualed so every day at *certain time* she'd have to go into her home, lock all doors, maybe hide in basement im not sure :P Starting to forget the details she told me a few days ago haha.

I've always kinda wanted to give my future kid
a really ugly name, like
if i have a girl i'm naming her something like
Priscilla, Bernese, Gertrude...

Her future would be ruined, all because
daddy gave her a shitty name.
Har har har har. :]

Nevertheless more elegant to not have the ad block entirely. Firefox wins.
