Nice Work
I hate, hate, hate the fact that the page resizes my browser window, but Ugly Green Shirt is a pretty nice bit of animation all the same.

Delivery
Delivery is an animated short made by Till Nowak. It sort of reminded me of that animated short — I think it was called “Smile” — the one with the guy that invents the product that makes people happy. Same kind of dingy world view. Anyway, certainly worth the download.

Two Great Tastes
Stray Matter is a nice photoblog. I really like the combination of images and stories. I’m sure there must be lots of people doing that, but this is the first one I’ve come across.

Robot Chicken
Some people on the web were raving about how funny Robot Chicken was, so I told TiVo to grab me a few episodes. It really is kind of good in a wring the funny out of the morass of pop culture kind of way. More than any show I think I’ve ever seen it seems…
