IT Crowd Season Two

IT CrowdOh boy, this is a good day!

Britain’s Channel 4 has just announced the second season schedule for The IT Crowd, the geeky sitcom that rocked my socks when it debuted last season. They’ve posted some video of creator Graham Linehan (who also created the brilliant sitcom Father Ted) talking about the second season — but they’ve region-locked it so I have no idea what it’s like. Boy, that’s dumb. I thought that it was dumb to region-lock the web-previews of the show last season, but they supposedly had to do this due to their territorial deals — but surely there’s no territorial deal on Graham talking about the show. Someone put this on the Pirate Bay, please.

My Word! Is that a Flying Monkey On Your Desk?

Flying MonkeyWhen you look at that blank space on your bedroom wall don’t think of putting a picture of your in laws there. No, by all means you should have a handsome squirrel trophy head or a attractive FeeJee Mermaid gracing that honored space on your wall. As you can see I’m partial to the flying monkey my self. You know, nothing says you have class better than by having a drinking fez wearing flying monkey perched on your desk.

Amazing Music Video Animated With Dice!

Least anyone even dare to think that traditional animation is dead…

This is a neat music video, called Ankle Injuries, from the English band Fujiya & Miyagi, where the "ASCII"-styled animation was done with hundreds and hundreds of dice.

This animation must have taken forever to finish! I wonder if they shot the bottom of the dice through a sheet of glass to make it easier to keep things clean and to move the dice around. The tune is darn catchy too, I’m going to have to get some of their music.
