Qee Vader

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:15:47 -0600

Oh man! Check out Ben Cohen's outrageous Qee Vader. He screengrabbed the whole process, so you can figure out how it was done - Link.

There isn't a video, but Ben also made an R2Qee2. I'm hoping he'll finish a whole Star-Wars Qee series.

He says it took about 30 minutes, but I figure it'd take me a week. Unreal.

Art Is A Gift - make your very own Qee

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 00:20:58 -0600

One of my favorite projects this year is the artisagift.com site for Free Arts Minnesota, a non-profit organization that helps kids overcome traumatic life experiences through the healing powers of art.

Baby Qees: vinyl designer toys that are well loved and collected by folks who, well, love and collect vinyl designer toys. You know who you are.

My employer, Colle McVoy, purchased about a thousand of these cute little buggers and gave them to Free Arts Minnesota for kids to paint any way they like. The result was really outstanding.

To support the project, we put together a fun site that shows off these little works of art, and we also cooked up a virtual Qee maker that will let you participate too. Some quick dragging and dropping will let you create and share a virtual Qee of your own.

I showcased the three virtual Qees above just to give you an idea of what you can do. The Qee editor allows you to choose different body types, change the color and skin, add eyes, mouths, and accessories. It's really in keeping with the concept behind the vinyl toy subculture, only the limited edition design is created by you.

The AC jack and the turntable are mine. I have no idea who made the stormtrooper, but it's my favorite so far. It's your challenge to make something even more impressive.

Make sure to send your Qee to yourself and your friends. It'll toss a direct URL to your Qee in an email. Post your Qee's URL in the comments here. I'd like to see which ones team BC comes up with.

Elf and Scrooge Yourself

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 11:10:31 -0600

Last year, OfficeMax created the very fun Elf Yourself site where you could upload a picture of yourself and send off e-cards to friends of family of you dancing around like a silly elf. They've updated their site and now you can upload up to four faces.

If you are feeling more 'humbug' than 'ho ho ho', OfficeMax has created another site, Scrooge Yourself, which is more suited for those who are grumps during the holiday season.

Now there are two sites for your naughty and nice sides.

Rock Paper Scissors Online Flash Game

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 14:21:16 -0500

I never thought someone would actually create a Rock Paper Scissors online flash game. I just don't see the point, but I still managed to play a few rounds. I guess you could use the game as a way to make important life-changing decisions.

The game is simple -- Choose your ammo (rock, paper or scissors) and your opponent will fire at the same time as you.

Brawny Academy

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 11:36:20 -0500

The Brawny paper towel folks took 8 deadbeats and sent them away to "Brawny Academy," where they get schooled on romance, chivalry, and the respectful side of manliness from the Brawny Man himself.

I launched the 1st webisode yesterday and Brawny Man stopped by to thank me. I know it looks like I'm smiling in this photo, but it's really my face being pulled back from his death grip on my neck -- seriously, the guy has a kung-fu gorilla handshake. I'm sure it was just a little reminder that I've been working too hard and not paying enough attention to my lovely wife and family.

Check it out and tell your friends. A new episode goes up every two weeks, and I think you guys will really get a kick out of it.

Brawny Academy Links:
Flash site - full-screen video and extra content
Episode 1 - for lower bandwith users
RSS Feed - update notices for leet tech users :)

Update: Win a date with the Brawny Man. eBay auction ends Saturday, Oct. 14, 2006.
