Big Ideas (don’t get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.

James Houston assembled an orchestra of old electronics and taught them how to play “Nude” by Radiohead. Awesome. (read more about it on his site)

“Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes”
I love this video. A very entertaining & informative summary of why this web 2.0 thing is so dern cool. Use it to educate your less geeky friends

Randy Pausch was perhaps the most influential professor I had while at Carnegie Mellon. His class, Building Virtual Worlds, was the most challenging and rewarding class I’ve ever taken. He is now dying of pancreatic cancer, but has not let that dampen his energy, resolve, and enthusiasm.

I will write more here later, but I just wanted to get this post started so I could put this video up.

Best. Show. Ever.

Going into this, I heard a lot of hype. I heard that people who weren’t even Daft Punk fans (yet somehow went?) described it as a “religious experience”. Personally, I’d not call anything short of playing shuffleboard with Jesus a religious experience… but I certainly get where those folks were coming from.

Awesome show… certainly the best I’ve been to. (though if I could have somehow attended the Pink Floyd: The Wall tour, then this would possibly fall second)

Anyway, here are some clips that I managed to shoot in between frantic dancing and screaming. Enjoy.

PS: the video above, while reasonably good for web streaming, is half the quality of what
it really should be. (plus, this is just more fun to watch on your TV or iPod)

This film was created for the 2006 Filmerica Challenge, a 72-hour film making competition.

We were given a genre, prop, character, and line of dialog. They were action/adventure, a hammer, Morgan Becker (unemployed), and “Things are not always what they seem.”
…So, of course, we made a ninja movie.
