T-shirt pimpage

Posted in Links on March 31st, 2009

The one piece of clothing I own that outnumber any other is my T-shirts. Black, blue, green, yellow, red, white and browns. In huge numbers. I'm a sucker for tees, and I rarely throw any of them out (unfortunatly).

Here's a bunch of links to cool unique shirts.

Wow. This is the reason you want to include captcha or other human indentification tests on your submission forms. That forum is just crawling (pun intended) with spambots.

In2media won a Creative Circle Award, which is the second one we've won. This time it was for Normann-Copenhagen, which also got an FWA some time back.

I also have the pleasure of having added a new wallpaper to the site last night. It was a remix of two unfinished walls, and I think it turned out just fine and somewhat creepy yet fun.

Site updates coming soon

Posted in Pseudoart on March 23rd, 2009

I've been working on getting my portfolio up, but it will take at least a few more days to get everything in order. Besides having to do a player for the video work, I also have to screendump a bunch of stuff and write a lot of text. But at least the backend in is place for it now. I've managed to conjure up some nifty Ajax stuff, which I'll be blogging about at a later time. I'll also share some code, mostly custom connectors I've written to various jQuery plugins. Usually there's PHP connectors included, but rarely there's Cold Fusion ones.

But as I said, it'll take some time. Still no new wallpapers ready - I'm struggling, actually. Having learned a few new tricks, I'm trying to employ them, but so far I've failed in my attempts. As you might've guessed from my previous ones, I rarely do the same thing many times around. If I do, it's with a big twist or an enhancement of previous works.

In other news, my old web co-host, Precurser, released his first wallpaper of 2009. Go check it out, nifty stuff.

How I lost my rocking hair

Posted in Personal on March 20th, 2009

In the past, I'd often cut my own hair for extended periods of time. I started doing that about a year ago again. I think it's the creative drive that does it, and the fact that hairdressers never seem to get it just right. I've never had any problems, it has always turned out just fine.

This time, however, things were to change.

Games is Satanic Evil

Posted in Links, Games on March 17th, 2009

Hillarious article at destructoid. It's a great read for anyone, really, but especially if you've been following the Jack Thompson controversy, and the whole videogames are bad for our children statement. Eventually, it'll bleed out, just like the whole Heavy Metal made my child commit suicide did.

Blog update

Posted in Pseudoart on March 16th, 2009

I've added comments to the blog. You really should comment on anything, just to register your handle or name. Otherwise, someone might beat you to it. I've tried a different solution this time, comment posting is handled with Ajax, and as such, you currently need JavaScript to post. Not to worry, eventually I will enable regular posting as well, but it's sort of an experiment. I'd like to see if I can beat the spambots this way, and if it works properly.

Also, there will be an option to remember your details soon. Just working out the kinks with jquery cookies.

In2media is SOTD at FWA

Posted in Links on March 14th, 2009

The web agency I work for just recieved another Site of the Day Award from FWA. It's a corporate flash site with a lot of cases, good copy and just plain awesome video and flash animations. Has some really nifty features, and is a step up from our old site (which also won an SOTD award).

Visit In2media.

Colors

Posted in Pseudoart on March 11th, 2009

After seeing the site on a different monitor - namely, the one at work - I'm a bit worried that it's too dark. I checked it on all three screens at home (workstation, server and laptop), and it was a bit dark on the server. While I realize that my screen at work probably just is configured a bit dark, it probably still would be a good thing to lighten everything a bit. That means cutting out all the design elements again, and change a few colors in the stylesheet. Not exactly fun.

That just bugs me.

A few good music videos

Posted in Motion Graphics, Music on March 9th, 2009

I have a love for music videos. Well, not all of them, but the ones who are artsy, different and/or tells a story. Over the years I've found a lot of good videos to love, and I've had the good fortune to work on several videos myself (and appear in a few).
