  Behind The Dumb Episode 1! 06:04 PM -- Sat February 28, 2009  



(and notice I finally learned how to make it use the high-quality version!) Please don't mind the odd double moment after the credits... that's just weird. It sure wasn't that way in the editing program. I'm learning... each week will be better! And more ridiculous instead of so ruthlessly informative.

  No Pumpkins! 05:16 PM -- Tue February 24, 2009  



What do you think of that? It's not being produced, it's being considered. This is a screenshot from one of those t-shirt sites, using my own image, obviously. I thought that hand-drawn (not terribly well) look was the most appropriate - yes, it is intentional! I'm not just a bad artist, I'm a bad artist with class. Would you buy this? Is it the wrong shade of green? Should the pumpkin be bigger and stick out around the NO sign? Should it be a 3D pumpkin from the game? Should it be a pixelated pixel pumpkin? Should there be some text somewhere? Should the artwork be moved up? Moved down? Bigger? Smaller? I don't think bigger is actually possible.

I kind of like it as is, although I wonder if people will interpret it as an anti-Halloween message. Quel traveste'!

  And Vimeo! 02:16 PM -- Mon February 23, 2009  

You make the call! After all the intense waiting, I think this is the winner... it's even in widescreen when embedded!



Lame... you can't view the high definition version unless you go to the Vimeo site itself. Much lower quality here embedded. How annoying. No good solutions anywhere. I might have to investigate self-hosting methods, which is pretty easy, as I recall... if you don't mind the bandwidth cost!

  Viddler On The Roof 01:05 PM -- Mon February 23, 2009  

Here's a Viddler version of the show... much higher quality, it seems like. The original video is 1280x720, so the youtube quality was a disappointment! I've also put it up on Vimeo, but they seem to have completely exploded the second after I did. They're back up now, but now my video says it has 2,130 minutes until it's done processing. So we'll check that out later... I think I'm liking Viddler best at this point. It's still annoying how both of these sites show videos in widescreen format, yet they both only provide square embedded players (note letterboxing below!). If you go to either Youtube or Viddler, you can see the video in full widescreen. It looks much sharper on Viddler.

  Behind The Dumb: Loonyland Tactics... Coming Soon! 06:09 PM -- Sun February 22, 2009  


I'm gonna give you all a show! Watch me crash and burn as I try to write a game! It's fun to make the video, so why not. Of course, it just means even more of a workload than just trying to make the game, but it's educational (sorta) and fun!

  Costume Party... 05:21 PM -- Fri February 13, 2009  


That's pretty much all there is to say about that! Happy Valentine's Day! You need a Dumb Account to play, but otherwise, you can play all 1060some levels right now, and keep on cranking until Monday! I'll be very impressed if you finish them all by then. Of course, then there will be hundreds more by the time another month has passed, so you'll have to buy the game to catch up!

In other news, I am working on something shocking and surprising that you will, with luck, hear about next weekend.

  I'm A Twit 08:24 PM -- Thu February 12, 2009  

Well, I'm trying something new. I don't know if it will stick or not. I'm on Twitter! I am of course "Hamumu" on there, so look me up. Oh here, a link: http://twitter.com/hamumu. I still have a bit of a mental block as to what all exactly Twitter is about and for, but some people seem pretty nuts about it, so I will see. If you are a twit too, you can add me or whatever it is you do. Kids today and their new-fangled websites.

  But... 10:41 AM -- Tue February 10, 2009  

It's always very pretty the next day!

And the dogs love it (they hate it when it's actually coming down, though).

But it was really cold.

That's a full-grown woman's hand. That ice is a solid inch thick! It took great violence to hew it forth from the wheelbarrow.

We're snowed in, of course. You might scoff if you live on the east coast, but I'm not driving our dirt road with no chains in this stuff.

  In related news... 01:23 PM -- Mon February 9, 2009  

"A $2 billion allocation intended to push universal broadband service into rural areas of the United States has been cut from President Obama's economic stimulus package."

COME ON!!! It's blizzarding on my satellite dish!

  Snow Day 01:17 PM -- Mon February 9, 2009  

It's another one of those fine blizzard days, I will probably not have much internet access! I didn't have any this morning, just visiting now, and the blizzard is kicking up a notch, so I think I will probably not be long for this virtual world... sorry if I don't get to your emails before I lose it!
