from hipster to hippie

saw this linked on laughing squid, thought i'd check it out. pretty funny, and i wonder if all the little hipsters that follow fresno groups like yesterday's chonies are headed down this route.

kid on drugs animated remake

mike oz seems to be winning the best of the day youtube battle over here with the kid whacked out from the dentist office.

someone has done an animated version that i saw over @ boing boing.



i must say, the original is better.

how about you enjoy this animated parody (?) called conspiracy rock i encountered over @ laughing squid

2009 sundance short films

do you like short films? interested in free short movies? have you heard of the sundance film festival? do you have itunes?

if you answered yes to a few of those questions, then you should load up your itunes and download ten of the thousands of short films submitted to sundance.

now, how to find the films in itunes can be a little tricky. so, i'll just give you the directions that sf blogger violet blue wrote over @ laughing squid, and i followed.

"To find them, go to the iTunes store, and look in the left list for “Movies”, then scroll down and look left for their “Genres” list, where you’ll see a little *new* icon on Shorts. Click shorts, then look at the top of the page for the Sundance logo. Strangely then you’ll see your iTunes nav path has you in the “Music” area, but laugh bemusedly to yourself and ignore that, and watch the free shorts. Yeah, it’s *that* not-easy. But worth it."

hey, they're free, but only for a limited time. so jump over there soon and download. also, the films are all rated pg-13 or r, so no that they're not little kid friendly, at least by ratings standards.
