If you're interested in how I created the desktop animation for our Cincinnati preshow ACMRH The Musical , and you'd like the instructions and tools for doing the same thing on your own, see this post I wrote in my as_massive_tool community.

It's been a while since our cast (whose name and composition has varied over the years, but is currently the Transylvanian Concubines of Fairfax, VA) has done a preshow at a convention, due to time constraints, lack of motivation, or simply not enough cast members in attendance. Q and I only attended the Saturday afternoon portion of the last convention (Atlantic City, 2008)...

This is the video which served as the backdrop for the Transylvanian Concubines ' preshow at The Celluloid Jam Rocky Horror convention last weekend in Cincinnati. The music was written and performed by Glasgow Tunnel (a band formed by TC cast members) with additional lyrics/voices by other members of the TC cast. The startup/desktop animations were created using Allah...

Фантасты много писали о параллельных реальностях. Под катом пример такой паралленьной реальности. Виртуальной пока, но кто знает, как обернется... Обычная вроде картинка? А теперь попробуйте посмотреть на нее в двух разных браузерах: IE и Фаерфокс (или какой-нибудь другой - Опера, Хром и т.п.) Вы увидите не просто разные, а противоположные по смыслу картинки. Как это сделано технически...

If you're viewing this under Internet Explorer,¹ you'll see a standard IE logo. If you're viewing this with just about any other browser,² you'll see an anti-IE logo. (The post where I first invent and explain this trick is here , and I've seen it made use of by other people yesterday for April's Fool gags). The fun part is, anybody can do this with any images (although they should both be the...

This one isn't a random picture per se , but it is a variable one. If you're viewing this under Internet Explorer,¹ you'll see a standard IE logo. If you're viewing this with just about any other browser,² you'll see an anti-IE logo. (The post where I invent and explain this trick is here ; and to show you what you can do with this trick, 28bytes used it in an April Fool's joke here...

I just took a quick look through my spam folder before emptying it. (This is something I do occasionally, but not all the time.) I found a letter in there from someone that I know (she was at my recent surprise birthday party, in fact) who was asking me about my Massive Tool . I wonder how many other letters have ended up in my spam folder because Google Mail thought that the phrase "your...

Firstly, I'm writing this on semagic, in complete disregard of my husband's massive tool. Story of my life. Went to karaoke tonight while A took R to thetaet 's house, so A could work on their computers, and R could mack on their daughter. I understand both endeavors were successful. Karaoke was very double-sided sword. Polite applause is nice and all, but when you are the only person...

I finally got around to adding five more images to my personal mood theme that I've had in the works for a while. Next, I'm putting one together for Q .         Yep, way too much time on my hands today, in case you hadn't already noticed all of the other stuff I've accomplished…

ganked from Allah·Sulu This trailer shows quite a few bits that we haven't seen in the previous trailer; in particular, it shows us a few more plot/character bits and less random explosions than the American trailer. Also ganked from yendi (who got it from robyn_ma ) is this page of the Watchmen characters re-imagined as female manga characters (with translation...
