WordCamp Comes to Portland
They’re having one of these crazy WordCamp thingies here in Portland at the end of September… September 27th to be exact. So… if you like the WordPress, and you live in or around Portland, OR… you should sign up here. It costs $10… but they promise to feed you two meals, hook you up with a t-shirt and they even add your name to this cool list of attendees. I’m usually totally against paying money just to enter a building… but the folks putting together WordCamp PDX are really hooking it up:) See ya there!

Power Circus + Sallo
Last Sunday, I went to see Power Circus and Sallo play at Plan B in SE Portland. I brought along ye old trusty digital camera with the mission of taking at least ONE decent shot. I think I got a few, check ‘em out below.
I started out just wanting to take some decent pictures, but then discovered that while most of the shots didn’t really hold up well on their own (Dark, Blurry, etc…), they looked pretty rad when you advanced through them really quickly — like a really jerky stop animation. I have about 400 total shots for Power Circus and plan on piecing them together (with music) into a really jerky animation. Should be fun.

I think this theory is absolutely beautiful.

Creepy, Banned Children’s Animation
Youtube. It’s one of my favorite places to visit on the internet. Above, I have posted one of the favorite things that I have found on there to date. I have no idea who made it or why, but it is pretty creepy.
Basically, three kids are hanging out with Albert Einstein in an intergalactic elevator. Albert opens the door and the children are introduced to a headless angel named satan who does some pretty impressive magic tricks for them.
Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments section. And definitely leave a comment if you have more information on this clip.
Answers!!!
Thanks to Mike of flammableanimals.com, we have a few answers about this short (see comment below). So, it looks like Albert Einstein does not appear in this clip at all. The gray-haired blob of clay on the intergalactic elevator is actually a different fellow named Mark Twain. I wonder how I ever got these guys confused???
The Corporate Machine
I recently found this animation posted on huellaspyp.com and thought that you might it enjoy it too. The animation was made by The Flowfield Unity and is titled “The Corporate Machine”
Note: The original comic for this animation can be found here.
