Up

Pixar really do rock - everything they make is just genius. I saw the trailer for their up coming movie, Up, when I saw Bolt a couple of weeks ago - and have just stumbled upon a longer version so thought I’d post it.

A’capella

November 12, 2008 | Videos

Someone Twittered a link to an A’capella Star Wars tribute today and I thought it was very cool so have posted it below. The video is of one man singing some random lyrics about Star Wars to the tunes of various John Williams movie scores. You can read the lyrics and a little information about the song here.

Showing someone at work the video he then mentioned an a’capella version of Michael Jacksons Thriller made by one man, François Macré. The singing is a little off - possibly because he is French (so there’s an accent) but the sound effects and music are spot on.

Some people have too much time on their hands… but I’m glad they do!

Ascension

Ascension is a rather amusing short film from Australia. I actually bookmarked the link from JazJaz a while ago but have only just gotten around to watching the thing. Very nicely done with a few genuine laugh out loud moments.

Wall-E + Lego = Awesome

September 24, 2008 | Links

I love Wall-E, and I love Lego (in paticular Robot Lego) so seeing Wall-E recreated in Lego was music to my senses.

I should probably point out that this was not made by me, and is not available for sale (which is a shame - I’d buy it!). It was actually built by Bazmarc from the Trossen Robotics Community Forums. It made my day!

Sumo at Miniclip

September 6, 2008 | Links

I mentioned the awesome Sumo bean bags the other day and, when talking to Andrew from Sumo, mentioned I work at Miniclip… and now they’ve sent us some free bean bags at work too!

You can see the photos on the Sumo gallery.

A short history of Miniclip.com

August 27, 2008 | Links

Rob, my boss and CEO of Miniclip.com, was recently interviewed by the Financial Times in the UK - and they put a video of the interview online for all to see.

I’d have embedded the video here but for some reason they have made embedding needlessly difficult so I’ll go for a link instead.

There’s lots of corporate speak going on there, but some of you may find it interesting The top of my head is visible through 90% of the film but otherwise I don’t show.

What they don’t mention in the video is that Rob got attacked by a variety of Nerf guns halfway through the interview, it’s a shame they cut that bit!

Apparently some people can’t view the video above as they have to log in, so here’s a youtube video that some kind soul has posted.
