All South Park episodes available online for free

South Park Studios has made every South Park episode ever made available online for absolutely free and uncensored.  The minor downside of "free" is that you have to sit through three short ads during each episode.  Link [via]

Qee Vader


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

Qee Maker

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

Zachary ScroogeLast 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.


Update:
Also check out the Holiday Qee Maker!
