Bohemian Rhapsody by 25 artists
Saw this on Kazim’s Korner. Reminded me of the Evolution of Dance video in a way, in that it’s one of those “must watch at some point in life” videos. Why not watch them now? hmm?
WHALLcats
I had mentioned earlier that I came up with WHALLcats, a complete rip-off of LOLcats, but I didn’t mention that I don’t have any cats. So all of my images are going to be of Jupiter, Zena or Nacho. Maybe Maverick and Nitro (passed away). The name stuck tho.
So I started on a couple.
The only frustrating part of this is that the software I use (SnagIt) for most of my quick photo manipulation needs - it’s truly a fantastic tool for quick changes, but it doesn’t support fonts with colored outlines, so I end up with letters that either need a bright or dark outline. So far, I had to just do a quick black line across the bottom. I think that’s annoying, both to make and to read. I guess I could use the LOLcats generator if I needed to…
In fact, I did - I went ahead and used the generator on this photo above and I must say, it is better than mine.
Here’s another try with the generator. I think I’ll stick with it from now on.
So I don’t think that these are “worthy” of trying to submit to I Can Has Cheezeburger… but if you think they are, add a comment and let me know. I know that if I do get one that’s very good, I’ll submit it.
Guitar Heronoid
So, seems someone came up with a robot to play Guitar Hero for you. Sounds like a great robotic project for a young up-and-comer in the science community - especially if they have a passion for music, technology, and overall high injections of coolosity.
Click on the picture to get a full run-down on the construction, fingers, strumming, the technology they used to “listen” to the screen and music and putting it all together.
It really is a fascinating read.
You know all I can do when I see completely adorable photos all I can say is “zomg squeeeee so adorable yeeeeeee” and such?
And I can’t even type right?
And these are all-natural! Fat-free! No added MSG!
Stay tuned to by sunday weekly summaries - the ’stuff you don’t want to MISC’ series, for I plan to have whallcats on all of them from now on…. Starring Jupiter and Nacho most of the time. Mommie has respectfully asked that Zina be left out of too many internet photos. Nitro and Maverick (now in puppy heaven) may make appearances. Nitro is the white fluffy bunlde of happiness above.
May I inquire as to why Zina should be left out but not the others?
Seems I can’t type either
“bundle”
I’m not sure - I didn’t ask. I was just asked that Zina be left out of whallcats (captioning and such), and Zina is _her_ dog and I don’t have a problem saying yes.
But I’ll probably put ‘normal’ photos of Zina up, if for no other reason than to keep you happy
And I have conquered yet another corner of the blogiverse.
Yar, me.
Thank you for placating me on your own blog!
But of course. I have no choice but to [poppy] cede to your request.
:/
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
And I’ve found another smart person who actually understands the word cede.
You’re one of the chosen ones. I think about 3 other people “get it”.
i can has a dikshunairry?
I should offer one in my sidebar:
“Need to know what my blog name means? Go here:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cede ”
Hehehehe
Or you could just play with them a little and say
“Poppy is accede; found in nature.”
Or combine it with the Southern Word of the day: ‘view’
View: asking someone if they’ve done something.
“I ain’t never seed New York. ‘View?”
I’m making this my tagline, it’s so funny.
‘Cept I’m changing seed to cede.
These a awesome. I’m an animal lover, so would love to see all your critters up there because I know they are think exactly what you are putting on the captions. You know, we all think things and just sometimes don’t know how to say it out loud. This is truly the case of animals. (I think) *smiles* Love all the pics and captions - very clever.
I luvs ur whallcats dat r reelly whalldogs.
