Since my wife is pregnant, I'm perhaps a bit more susceptible to things infant-esque... but regardless, even non-breeding units will enjoy this very creative time-lapsey piece of stop-motion.

Excellent stop-motion... well... an excellent presentation of stop motion animation.  I particularly love the change in "camera angles" toward the end.

Niall, Maggie, and Jason shooting in Lantau...dunno about you, but that doesn't look like a real cable car to me...

Very cool reinterpretation of the classic Brothers Grimm tale...

It's not as if he usually goes out of his way to pull his punches or anything, but over at Daring Fireball, online pundit and Mac maven John Gruber is not happy with the Academy for dissing Wall-E...

Putting WALL-E up against Bolt and Kung Fu Panda rather than letting it compete against Slumdog Millionaire and Benjamin Button is like requiring a 13-year-old chess prodigy to compete only against other children, regardless whether he could stand his own against adult grandmasters. It’s a dismissive pat on the head.

 Read the whole rant here.... it's reasonably short, but in typical Gruber-style, well-argued and passionate.

Normally, I am not a fan of animation, but I am going to give this one a try.  Afro Samurai has a cool mix of cultures, the voice of Samuel L. Jackson, and with a soundtrack by RZA from Wu-Tang it will at least sound cool.

I feel ill.  Thought I'd share the feeling.

Seems sort of silly, but it's actually a very cool animation that contains a LOT of information.   Love how this presentation really makes you give your head a shake... "So THIS is what a 'carbon footprint' looks like...!"
