Hey! I'm over here!

Hello blog friends! 

It's true, I have been pretty quiet for a mighty long time, but not as silent as you may think! I have revived the whole .tiff ethos over on my (kinda) new tumblr blog, appropriately url-ed at dottiff.tumblr.com.

After taking a year long break from everything, major social networks and blogging included, I wasn't sure if I'd have enough gusto to go back to blogging. Turns out I still love the web as much as I did before, so I'll be updating as regular as I can! Y'all update your feeds and come back now!

Pixel Treats - True 8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5 and Demake Dump

Rough Seas Day by Mark Ferrari and Joseph Huckaby

How about I make up for all the recent *cricket noise* on this blog with this double whammy of pixel stuff. First, point your browsers in the general direction of this stunning display of True 8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5 by Mark Ferrari and Joseph Huckaby. While the static piece shown above looks glorious, be sure to click through and cycle through all of the animated drawings and their variants. Oh, and the sound effects are ++.

Deadspace by junkboy

Next up, a series of "Demake" mockups by junkboy that have been recently tossed around the web. "Demake" more or less means junkboy's retro-fied versions of modern games, such as the sweet mossy green pixels seen in retro-Deadspace above. He's showing off a whole boatload of these over at Pixelation, my other favorites being his take on Mirror's Edge and Brutal Legend (for purely obvious reasons).

Happy Friday - This Week's Essentials

*Yawn!* I'm *so* happy for Friday. This week has been nothing but utter exhaustion for me day after day, so it will be nice to take it easy this weekend. Wish I had more exciting tiff-news to share, but I don't, so here's a bunch of fun stuff for your Friday afternoon. Whee!

• Bear Sleeping Bag (shown above). Eiko Ishizawa combines bear and sleeping bag to give you the best of both worlds. (seen on Toxel, via Mark Weaver)
• Prison For Bitches This Lady Gaga fanzine is coming out in full force at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Spelunky man Derek Yu adds his fierce contribution, along with Hellen Jo, who's comic documentation of a Lady Gaga concert is excellent:
  
  
  
• Nina proves to the world that Hapa babies are the cutest. For additional proof, check out this recording of a baby .tiff reciting her "abc's" (which includes a few more e's, and an additional l-o-well-o-pee at the end)
• Babies, the Village Voice's top notch review for the upcoming documentary Babies
• And finally, Paul Rudd's computer. The only video you should be watching on repeat this weekend.
  
  
  
  

Enjoy Everything on your lunch break

Everything (Ep. 4) from dannyjelinek on Vimeo.

Everything is a video compilation orchestrated by Danny Jelinek which samples short works by a variety of artists into neatly packaged five minute episodes. Perfect for watching over a lunch break or between those dips of boredom when you need to see something refreshing, episode 4 of Everything kicks off with a short from one of my favorite Internet video teams Fatal Farm (the two responsible for Lasagna Cat) and goes in all sorts of other directions after that. So sit back, and enjoy Everything.

Happy Friday - Nano Snowman, Stuff, and Things

via The National Physical Laboratory

Thought I'd do my best to spread holiday cheer before I'm off for the next 10 days or so on vacation (a long time, I know!) This is a *real* vacation and I'm taking a break from my laptop. So, things might get a little quiet around here. But I'll be back! And since I won't be posting during that time, I'll just straight up spit out a bunch of "cool Internet hyperlinks" to junk that'll keep you entertained for a whole half a minute.

First off, that adorable little molecule of a snowman is the tiniest snowman ever, courtesy of the NPL. The little buddy is the width of a human hair, nano-constructed out of two tin beads. As the daughter of a nanotechnologist, I think [this is pretty swell].

And now, a list of other things that may pertain to your interest on a Friday afternoon:

• n0wak says "Hi"
• The LOST Underground Art Show (Scott C's "LOST Showdowns" are by far the best of the bunch)
• Robot Doppelgangers (Creepy_as_frak)
• Jack Bauer Interrogates Santa Claus
• Rammstein VS Cookie Monster
• Infinite Maru
• Usher feat. Goat yelling like a man

Finally, totally unrelated, and totally cowabunga:

TMNT IV - Big Apple, 3AM

Happy Holidays everyone!
