Tom Mannino, our programmer at Liquid Generation, left work a little early one day (or at least sooner than everyone else) and we had a little fun with with his desk.
Some neato cartoons that we produced this week on LiquidGeneration. Watch them now.
Everybody seems to like the American Idol piece we made on LiquidGeneration.com. It's a phone conversation between Michael Jackson and Sanjaya. It''s really really funny. Watch it now!
Here's an NYPost article about the tasteless humor on the net surrounding Anna Nicole Smith's death. Everyone from Fark to Perez has been chastisted for the dark humor. We talked a lot about this at LG this week, minutes after we heard the news that she died. What do we do? How should we cover this? This was Thursday. Thankfully we didn't start our news piece this week, so we went full swing into Anna-Mode.
But as we kicked around ideas, I was like, "Damn, whatever we're gonna do is going to be sooo mean." The first of the ideas we thought of were obviously tasteless (but hilarious), and some were just sentimental. In the end, we went with two pieces: The Anna Nicole Show: The Final Episode (tasteless and hilarious) and A Tribute To Anna Nicole (sentimental and kinda hilarious).
When we were deciding how to cover the death, we talked about Steve Erwin, grieving times, how long people should wait till poking fun at a tragedy (yes, I'm kinda sad that she died. I really, really liked her). The consensus was that we're working on internet time. The world's so lighten fast these days. Sadness was in the first few minutes, laughing and creating a piece that jokes about her death comes only a few minutes after that.
At least for Anna, anyway.
I rarely use this space to pimp Liquid Generation content (mainly because I hardly post here), but we just created the best freaking Lindsay Lohan piece ever last Friday. It's part of our Celebrity Slutsicles series. It's sung to the tune of Grease's "Summer Nights." It's amazing. Check it out.
Pretty neat so far, especially the way you add books, music, VIDEOS. It's all pretty sweet. So much less klunky than Tyeppad. Not exactly digging the Google Ads at the bottom, but Six-Apart's gotta make money somehow I guess.
I've been looking for a way to manage my personal websites. Used to use typepad, but then I was sick of paying for something I wasn't even using a whole lot, so, I decided to just get some cheap server space and put up a free Wordpress blog...which I did. But that is a pain in the ass, especially for such a causual blogger like me (although I do blog at LiquidGeneration.com a lot).
So this might be the perfect solution. I'll use SlippyJenkins.com as a place holder for contact info, and Vox as my main blog? I don't know.
But fun so far...
