This is still one of my all time favorite geek videos of ever. It is just dead on perfect, and you can tell everyone involved love what they are doing. It is a perfect little piece of wonderful.

Holy cow, this is weirdly awesome.

Perfect Strangers video game.
Absolutely stunning.
We can only assume this has been in development every single hour for the past 25 years.

It’s awesome that Palmer’s Kickstarter has done so well — but look at what it’s entailed. It’s entailed time, effort, planning and work both backward and forward in time. That currently $439,000 isn’t a windfall for her; it’s a marker of what all that commitment to the work has earned.
If you’re one of the people looking at her Kickstarter money with stars in your eyes and awesome plans of your own in your head, ask yourself first: Have you put in the time? Earned the credibility? Scoped out the financial balance sheet? Made the commitment to fulfill every single thing you have promised?
Palmer has. If you haven’t — on any of this — be aware that your results, shall we say, may vary.

John Scalzi explains the ups and downs and behind-the-scenes of how you do a successful Kickstarter and what the money means. Whether you’re interested in Amanda’s Kickstarter or not, this one should be required reading for anybody interested in how it works, what it is, and what you want to do if you want the same results… (via neil-gaiman)

The “Art” of Martial Arts by Ben Fuller

(This is a slightly revised version of my essay for my Black Belt/Instructor level examination from the early 90′s in Traditional Northern Style Chinese Martial Arts. The original version of this essay was published in the WuGong: Journal of Chinese Martial Arts, July-August 1998, Vol. 3, #16.)

Chimpanzee - some sorta prequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The CG was fantastic, but Buzz Lightyear’s narration was pretty listless.
