Silly stuff
There's a lot of silly stuff on the web. I mean a lot. Loads. Gigabytes, probably more. This is my little collection of silly stuff that I've made myself. Lots of it is inspired by www.b3ta.com which is a constant daily source of new and ingenious silly stuff. There's other great silly stuff out there too though. Like Giant Bee and Badgers. What would the web be without silly stuff?
Flash! Aaaa-aaahhh. Erm, no, not that Flash. Not blokes in dirty raincoats either. I'm talking Macromedia Flash. You know, those web animations that for years where lame and needed to download the player whether you've installed it before or not. Well, the tech is sorted now and people know what to do with it. Well, some people do. Not me, as you can see by visiting this section.
B3ta run a weekly image challenge. They come up with a theme and invite people to mess with their heads by making silly images. This is lots of fun, and a little surreal at times. It's also more addictive than crack, which is a problem for people with little free time.
How bored do you get at work? I think I found the ideal pastime: Office Supply Sculpture! You pilfer a bunch of supplies from the stationary cupboard and see what you can make. If it does something mechanical, award yourself bonus points. This is what I do when I'm waiting for my slow and ineffecient programs to execute.
I've done lots of silly stuff. Not all of it is Flash or Photoshop. Anything thus far uncategorisable sort of resides here in this section. It's mostly unrelated and not particularly great stuff. Much like the rest of the site then.
