Just wanted to talk about Vimeo, a flickr-like site for videos. You can see my videos at http://www.vimeo.com/user:djotaku/clips . Some of my readers may notice that I have these clips on my server (except Pao Bhangra). So why would you go to vimeo? Because my server has limited bandwidth. I think it uploads at 2 Mbits per second, while these people download a lot faster. So check them out! Then check out some other people’s work.

A group has redone the entire Star Wars Episode 4 in ascii art. You can see the javascript version of Star Wars Ascii Art here. Or, if you don’t have javascript, just telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl.

The website is a better experience because it comes in a little faster and you can fast forward and skip around. These are some ridiculously talented guys.

May the force be with them.

My penguin now has the gift of vision.

Doubtless he will complain about the crap environment I’ve put him in. There aren’t even any fish!

My penguin now has bones!

And you can see him do “Penguin Aerobics” in the accompanying short video.

It seems that way recently, but that’s just because I haven’t had much time for anything else. It’s been a crazy few days.

That said, here I’ve added light inside the penguin’s house.

and here he is snoozing on the bed I just made him.

Once I make him a few more things, I think I will make my next animation. That one will even have a soundtrack!

As you can see, he now has a door, but it’s a bit dark in there as I haven’t added any furniture or a lamp yet.
