			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was reading a tweet by @mdowney which referred to a post on <a title="MJ vids... pretty cool just to watch" href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-top-10-michael-jackson-acapellas" target="_blank">BuzzFeed</a> about the top 10 Michael Jackson acapella videos.  This post is not about that&#8230; well, not directly anyway. I was watching the video for &#8220;Beat It&#8221; and during the breakdown/fight scene I had an amazing revelation.  Holy SH*T!!! THOSE THUGS ARE HIPSTERS!</p>
<p>So, apparently hipsters are 1983 thugs from the &#8220;Beat It&#8221; video. Amazing but true.  Check out around 2:30 in the video to revel in the pre-hipster-hipster fashion.</p>

<p>We reference :: zefrank a lot here.  I have been a fan back since his &#8220;<a title="The classic" href="http://www.zefrank.com/indexdance.html" target="_blank">Learn to Dance</a>&#8221; Flash invite that he created for a party.  Since then he has done a lot with Flash, video, art and humor.  His &#8220;Our Art Art Hour&#8221; is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. This may be the fact that I have a background in theatre and find the word play awesome&#8230; but I feel everyone will at least get a chuckle.</p>

<p>National Geographic (or NatGeo if you watch there awesome channel) has a new project on their website called Infinite Photograph.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dive into this photo-mosaic portrait of the Earth to see it through the eyes of users like you. It&#8217;s made up of hundreds of photos of the natural world, each submitted by users to My Shot.</p></blockquote>
<p>Its a interactive image viewer that uses hundreds of images to make a tile mosaic of another image. From there you can click on a quadrant and zoom in to see the images that made up the larger image. Very much worth checking out.</p>

<p>With the growth of control and interactivity available via video games, the world of Machinima is really taking off.  Games like Little Big Planet are designed with user content generation in mind and its amazing to see how it is being adapted and expanded by the user community.</p>
<p>Machinima, as defined via <a title="get your learn on!" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Machinima</strong> (pronounced <span class="IPA" title="Pronunciation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)"><a title="Wikipedia:IPA for English" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English">/məˈʃiːnɨmə/</a></span> or <span class="IPA" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/məˈʃɪnɨmə/</span>) is the use of real-time <a title="3D computer graphics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics">three-dimensional</a> (3-D) graphics <a title="Rendering (computer graphics)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_%28computer_graphics%29">rendering</a> engines to generate <a title="Computer animation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_animation">computer animation</a>. The term also refers to works that incorporate this animation technique. Machinima-based artists, sometimes called <strong>machinimists</strong> or <strong>machinimators</strong>, often use graphics engines from <a title="Video game" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game">video games</a>, a practice that arose from the animated software introductions of the 1980s <a title="Demoscene" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene">demoscene</a>, <a title="Disney Interactive Studios" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Interactive_Studios">Disney Interactive Studios</a>&#8216; <a title="1992 in video gaming" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_in_video_gaming">1992 computer game</a> <em><a title="Stunt Island" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Island">Stunt Island</a></em>, and 1990s recordings of gameplay in <a title="First-person shooter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person_shooter">first-person shooter</a> (FPS) video games, such as <a title="Id Software" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Software">id Software</a>&#8217;s <em><a title="Doom (video game)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_%28video_game%29">Doom</a></em> and <em><a title="Quake" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake">Quake</a></em>.</p></blockquote>
