Recent Notes

A nice little tribute.

The original video title had “fail” in it, but if you ask me, this is pretty awesome.

This seagull’s dancing like it’s never danced before.

Looks like Sega’s going to try a Megaman-9-style retro reboot. It’ll be totally awesome if they pull it off, but at this point I have almost zero faith in Sega’s ability to do that. Hit up the trailer and start holding your breath!

A music video from the new Takahashi Meijin + IOSYS “remix” album Takahashi Meijin Legend: Soul of the 16-Shot. I also recommend the video for We are the Bomber-MEEEEEN!!

As illustrated by Ishihara Gojin, a.k.a. “Japan’s gay Norman Rockwell”.

An amazing HTML5 video player. I'd like to say this marks the beginning of the end for Flash, but that was probably back when the iPhone launched. This is more like Chapter 2 of the end of Flash.

A simple custom-stylesheet-based way to disable comments on many web sites. While I like the idea of a web without a peanut gallery, I feel like CSS’s limitations make it too blunt an instrument for this purpose. Who’s gonna step up to the plate and make ClickToComments a real thing?
