Amazing Title Credits – Enter The Void

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the title credits are awesome and like nothing I’ve seen in a film before. Apparently the majority of the rest of the film is shot in first person POV which sounds interesting…

(If the beginning gets old just skip to about a minute in.)

I recently got a Kinect for the Xbox BUT I hooked it up to my computer instead. So far I’ve done…. nothing with it.

shambot-hibernation: “shamboternation”

OR the many faces of chance’s halloween costume

What? Its been two months since everyone went into hibernation mode? No one has posted since before the winter season began you say? Bored? Need some inspiration you say? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you:

Watch closely, as we look back at how Chance’s Halloween costume evolves and changes to match his environment (or moods?):

Initial word vegan correctly representing evil ex-boyfriend #3? check.
Rearranging the word vegan into other words? check.
Rearranging the word vegan into not other words, but possible acronyms instead? check.
Careless evolution into illegible symbols or characters? check.
Drunken reappropriation of tape into random shapes and genitals? check.
Inevitable hammer and sickle? of fuckin’ course!

I Got Props

I love Picross, PicCross, Nonogram or Paint by Numbers, whatever you want to call it. I bought PixelCross on my phone maybe a month ago and really liked it but wished it had a mode without a timer for a “more relaxed” play. I left a review saying so and the dev totally added it! Not only that but it was at my suggestion and he specifically noted that!

I’m totally famous now.

A doozie!
Well, I got a little idea to solve it new-school by letting the do computer the work.

All I needed to do was find a list of countries in the world, then make a little app that could read that list and compare the country names against each other. Evil genius laugh…

Three possible answers! That is TWO more than the “puzzle master” Will Shorts found! PaChow!

I’ll be swimming in NPR lapel pins come this Sunday.
