Ok, so Team Unicorn released this video on break.com yesterday–and it’s totally made of awesome. It even includes a Seth Green cameo.

Besides the fact that Michele Boyd (The Guild, SOLO, Zimm) is in it (mad props to you girl!), it seriously kicks some ass. Check it out below and spread it around!

Achievement UNLOCKED!

This is made of awesome.

…to be able to spend every day with my wife and 3 daughters.

And that I have a job that allows me to do so.

Here’s to the troops around the world, and their families waiting for their safe return.

So in an effort to liven up the website a bit, I’m going to post something funny every Friday. It’s a great way to end a busy week–with a laugh!

Today is Eddie Izzard’s awesome Death Star Canteen segment animated with Lego.

Death by tray!

This just made my Monday.

People. Shot in the face by a 120psi cupcake cannon. Captured at 700 frames per second.

And then played back in super slow motion.

EXPLOSIVE CUPCAKE CHAOS.

We were asked in the latest SF Signal MIND MELD: What are your favourite genre crossovers?

One of my picks was the anime series Ergo Proxy. This anime merges three of my favourite sub-genres together into one twisted trip: steampunk, cyberpunk and gothic noir. If you haven’t seen an episode–and there are, sadly, only 23–then check it out, you’ll be in for a visual treat. This anime has it all: self-aware androids, viruses, domed cities, mysterious immortals, shady governments, and kick-ass girls with kick-ass guns. Highly recommended.

Below is the opening credits with the kick ass song Kiri by MONORAL.

This should whet your appetite rather well for Ergo Proxy.

Yes, I’m a Tim Burton fan. It’s true. And this video cracks me up.

“Music kicks in…Danny Elfman what have you got?”

I’m not sure if it’s the wintry weather and the slow death of autumn or the recent passing of WFC2009 (which I did not attend, regrettably), but I’ve been missing my friends from abroad lately. Well, more than usual anyway. I’ve countered this somewhat by confirming I will be at Wiscon 24 in May–which I’m very excited about since I’ve never been able to make it before.

I’ve also countered this sudden malaise by uploading a quick little video I shot while out in old town Montreal during Worldcon 2009. We were needing a break from the chaos of the con and decided to go cupcakery hunting and sightseeing.

We found cupcakes:

We found a place to eat them:

And we found a place to make a quick video:

Also, we were actually quick sober during the making of this film–unless you count being high on sugary cupcake goodness.

It wasn’t until later that we hit the tequila.

Here are 3 solid short films by Andrew Huang for a Monday morning.

Listed among Creativity Magazine’s Top 25 “Directors to Watch” in 2008, Andrew Huang’s work has been increasingly recognized by his trademark combination of live action, animation and visual effects.

His latest is RIFT:

Doll Face:

The Gloaming:

Enjoy.

“Dad?”

“Yes, daughter?”

“Why is there a naked lady in my bedroom?”

Ah, Hank Moody, how I’ve missed you. Can’t wait for this!
