Firefox Download Day Record Set

Just got news from Mozilla, their download day succeeded. They set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours.

"From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3"

Nice to know I was part of it. Just like 8 million other people. Firefox 3 is awesome anyway though.

Pickle Jar; Animation

My friend and I used our past two days to make a short film. The plot is half-decent, but most of it consisted of us seeing how well we could do certain effects. Anyway, go watch it for yourself and see what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgfT9-uPQWQ

I have recently started working on an animation. It started as just messing around with hand drawing every frame using my Wacom tablet. After I made about 40 frames, I figured I might as well try and go somewhere with it. I do not have a full plot in my head, just a meager premise. When I am done, I am going to submit the animation to the Red Stick International Animation Festival. Currently, I have spent about 3 hours completing 194 frames or 12.9 seconds.
