8bit Friday !

Wow...

This is one of the most amazing stop animation video's I've seen in a long time...

I'm utterly amazed at the time and dedication that this would have taken...

Autism wont hold Carly Fleischmann back.

What a story and a half! I look forward to reading this girls book!

Brilliant minds in disobedient bodies... Autism != Mentally diminished.

Through the love and persistence of her parents and continued intensive therapy, this severely Autistic girl finds her voice.

With the aid of a computer she has been able to unlock her voice, communicate and interact with the world around her.

I can not wait to read her book "Carly's Voice" and I hope her therapies and use of technology can assist many others with this debilitating condition to reach out.

Carly has a website and is a prolific tweeter, this story brought many tears to my eyes, what an inspiration!

8bit Friday!

This is a very pretty 8bit style clip and the song is quite boppy too.

What is utterly delightful is that they've done an 8bit Remix!!!

Youtube: Drupal, Joomla, WP Rap!

Some of you may be familiar with "The Drupal Song", well I wasn't, not until tonight!

Whilst scouring youtube clips and in a mad attempt to remove the drupal song #earworm, I came across a Drupal Rap!


A friend on twitter quickly brought to my attention that Joomla would definitely not been shown up by Drupal and has it's own Rap!


But wait... There is more!  WordPress has elbowed in on the Rap action and have their own rap song!



Geekery Drupal vs Joomla at its finest!

Geek Youtube - We Code Hard.

Came across this clip on Twitter.  I have so much respect for Coders and System Administrators.  Really love this clip although its specific referencing to Java is a bit blah!

8 Bit Friday - whoops Saturday?

I didn't do my 8bit Friday post yesterday...  Not that I've had much personal time to wander the world of the internet and uncover new 8bit themed goodness.


I love stop motion, retro games & 8bit so really this clip is a combination of them all and total win!

I'm always on the look out for new 8bit themed clips of amusing, clever, flashbacky goodness, please feel free to share with me :-D


So I'm posting this one a little late.  

Ninja Moped - Insert Coin


I was impressed by the quality of the stop motion and at times questioned it's authenticity until I wasted the behind the scenes / making of.  It was a bit of a mood killer for me since I think they kinda cheated... but what the hey it still would have taken ages.

vSphere - VMWare

I know it's been a while, with Mr O.G being unavailable my geek lessons have been somewhat sparse.

Last weekend however, I was introduced to vmware's vSphere & ESX.  I had never seen, had need of nor used virtual machines so this was all completely new territory, having a bit of a poke around and introduction was pretty ace.

vSphere is pretty spiffy and the UI is really smooth and clean.  This little introduction lead into some rather informative conversation regarding security architecture and methods of ensuring secure environments.

Not really a lot to report on the matter... other than "hey cool I get it now"
