I just wanted to let you know that I’m still chugging along on “High Concept”. All the principal artwork is done, I just need to record a little more audio and start animating. I’m pretty excited about it. Happy New Year everyb…

High Concept – Episode 1 – 20 second excerpt from Daniel D Lindmark on Vimeo.
Just a taste, to prove that I still love you, infernet.
Great collection of Illustrator Brushes
I stumbled upon a great collection of illustrator brushes.
Windows XP Control Pannel Applets
In case I forget, here is a site that details some of the important control panel applets in WinXP. Very useful if you are doing “runas”

Scriptwriting Resource: Beat Sheet Central
Beat Sheet Central is a website that hosts movie / TV treatments aka beat sheets. The author has transcribed a series of movies and shows, but also has opened his site up for submissions. By understanding the technical breakdown of great works that have come before us, we can expand upon that experience and project [...]
Confusion in cart decorations.
I will have to remember that I carry a camera on my phone, because this morning, I saw a delightfully confusing collection of car accessories: Florida gators license plate holder. Confederate flag magnet. Puerto Rican flag. Navy sticker. The piece de resistance? An upsidedown american flag sticker. So what we’re talking about is a states [...]
Perfect Gift: A ride in a ferarri with this guy
For $300 / hr it’s a lot cheaper than skydiving. I bet if you wear something slutty, he’ll hit on you, or maybe even play his guitar for you.
Warning: He claims to be the most photographed man, next to the president.

Bad Day: Malware on the loose
You know it’s a bad day when your Internet Service Provider (ISP) calls your phone to tell you that your IP address is spewing forth spam. It’s also not good when that event is preceded by a webpage redirecting to a crap website and your antivirus software giving up. Luckily Windows has a malicious software [...]
Good for the recession: Cheapass Games
I just thought I would quickly mention Cheapass Games.
From their own mouth:
“We here at Cheapass Games are aware of two basic facts about games: they cost too much, and they are at some level all the same.
If you ignore the clever shapes they come [...]
Facets Videoteque: Video by mail
Facets, a Chicago video store with an amazing collection of obscure and out of the way videos, is now providing video by mail.
Essentially, they are servicing the long tail. I can’t wait to rent “Liquid Sky” which was not available at either Netflix or Blockbuster Video.

Craft Fair Depart-Ment closes shop
I’ve been a member of Depart-ment for over two years, and even designed the flyer for their last show.
They are closing down shop. It’s the end of an era. You will still see me at pitchfork this year, but read the press release for more details.
From their press release:“After six years and nearly twenty shows [...]
Hackery: Extending a TV Remote Control
The goal: We have two televisions and one satellite TV tuner. Occasionally, I want to watch something on the primary TV that is not satellite TV. Think DVD, video games, or silence.
Some times, my special lady friend would like to watch satellite TV. I get tired of schlepping the video games to the other room. [...]
Shepard Fairey knockoff from the future
It’s funny because Optimus Prime is _also_ a hyperbolicly adored leader that doesn’t live up to the hype.

Julia Roberts goes on Drunken exhaltation of Tom Hanks
So the real reason I bought a phone that a teenage girl could love was so that I can read the trashy blogs that talk about stars in the bathroom at work. This is the gem at the center of a mountain of awesome that I read while expelling poop from my body.
I cannot recommend [...]
Most Awesome T-shirt
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cartoons has a new shirt on pre-order:
I just love the description. Two guys playing tennis on the back of kodiak bears with a lit bundle of dynamite instead of a tennis ball.

Game: Don’t look back
This is a quick game, it should only take you about 20 minutes to complete.
It simultaneously satisfies my retro game itch, as well as introduces interesting game play.
Mostly you are a few blocky pixels adventuring across disapearing chasms, ropes, snakes, and hot lava. The bosses are fun to fight, and the “second half” of the [...]
Onion: Are reality TV Shows setting unrealistic standards for Skanks?
The best part is the end, when the round table erupts with talking heads breaking down into skanks and getting all up in each others grills.
The Twenty Weirdest TV Interviews of All Time
“When a bearded, bespectacled Joaquin Phoenix appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman February 11, he gave bloggers across the world the biggest Valentine they could hope for. What to say about this, that hasn’t already been pounded into oblivion by everyone from your neighborhood blogger to Ben Stiller? Movie star goes on talk [...]
How Rolando creator Simon Oliver caught the big fish
Oliver shows off the failed attempts that got him to the place where he could create the game, reveals how Ico/Shadow of the Colossus inspired its design, and gets big bonus points for referencing David Lynch’s excellent book Catching the Big Fish in showing where he gets his inspiration (here, physically, a swimming pool).
Simon Oliver, [...]
Chicago Zombie Pub Crawl 2 – Saturday April 25th, 2009
Oh, hell yes! For halloween a couple of years ago we dressed up as zombie republicans, but this is infinitely better, as there will be more zombies and better drinking.
On the list:
Simon’s – great dive bar. You can order food from the neighborhood and have it delivered here.
Charlie’s Ale House – decent food. A little [...]
Onion – Sony POS Tech Highlights (Audio and Text NSFW)
Audio and onscreen text NSFW.
I have to get a transcript of this. They do a great job of sounding exactly like a kowtowing electronic-interest piece.

Gloria Jones – Tainted Love (1964)
Hah ha! I said taint.
Listen to the original version of tainted love. I like the pictures of 1960s computers. Thank you infernet.
These are a few of my favorite things: “Spontaneous” Dancing to Julie Andrews
I do this same thing every day of my life, but the power is strengthened somewhat by other people participating:

I’m a little conflicted about this one.
1) I love full bodied women. Actually, I love all sorts of women. My standards are pretty low. I can’t really understand really picky men.
It’s like food. Some of it’s amazing. Most of it’s good. Some of it’s bad, but you eat it anyways because you’re hungry. Overall, [...]
