Some Friday nights you want to go out and party. Others you just want to sit at your computer with a stiff drink and watch an animated bunny dance. What kinda Friday night are YOU having? Dance along if nobody’s near you to make fun of you.
I’m a big fan of Rhett and Link, the singing duo on YouTube who make sponsored videos that are so damned entertaining they hurt. It’s like watching MGM’s latest videos… I am both thrilled for them and ready to hang up my hat. I’ve blogged about them dozens of times, featured them in my book,…
Nice clip featuring “internet superstar” Charlene Li (Forrester) ruminating about online video. (Source: BeefTV via My thoughts: I can’t believe she’s so easy on YouTube.

It turned up on a recent CNN story about toll takers taking their revenge on people who annoy them. Thanks to viewer Emily from Ohio who noticed it, and told me. I’d otherwise be oblivious. Well-…

I just saw this one too. Very impressive animation. He (the creator)said he uses Maya for the animation. I’m going to have to look it up.
