My housemate Christopher and I are challenging each other every two weeks to keep things exciting this year.

My first two week challenge of 2010. The challenge: make a lip-sync video to Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” starring at least 10 people I didn’t know personally.

I started out in Dolores Park, and rocked out with a few fun folks, but after getting a full time job the next day, realized I needed another way to get videos. That’s where Reddit and Amazon’s Mechanical Turk came in. Thanks internet! For free to a dollar, you sent me videos of yourselves a-sing-song.

So here’s the final product, 10 people, 1 cat, and 1 crazy deer.

I’ve been posting something new to Flickr every day for 42 days now. There’s some pretty cool stuff, if I say so myself. Have a look!

New Year’s Eve – 2008. Just found I never uploaded this. Whoops?

Inspired by my housemate, Christopher, doing his rapping thing as usual, my other housemate and I decided that his “name” maddbadger deserved some making fun of. And perhaps some badgering. An idea was born – make the badger badger flash animation into Christopher.

After a few hours of re-learning After Effects, and wishing over and again that I simply had the original .fla file to work with, I created the amazing maddbadger.com – go look, even if you don’t know him.

I guess this (and similar things) is what happens when I have a bit too much free time on my hands. I’m slightly worried what will happen to the interwebs when I graduate next month. Yikes.

also, this is worth reading.
