These were taken on Kidian’s camera. Many thanks to him for making me a folder of them on my computer before he went back to Japan. Since he’s going to be deployed all over for the next year, I uploaded them for him. They’re available on my MySpace:

You gotta be logged in to see them, I believe.

Enjoy!

w00t! Troma Studios president, Lloyd Kaufman blogged about his cameo appearance in our web series, ./shutdown. I even got a special thanks by name. Read Lloyd’s post here.

I’m sure you’re wondering how the Ford Escape From Boredom went. I had a blast! The Ford people are the best! Anyway, I will post all about it in the next few days and look out for some video blogs about it too. This may be the first time you see me actually IN my online videos. WTF? OMFG!

Until then, please enjoy a couple of pictures. Click to enlarge.

Well, I am thoroughly exhausted from Comic-Con 2007. I have so much to talk about, from parties to interviewing Rosario Dawson, to talking about what’s happening next.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time for any of that. I WILL link the Rosario Dawson interview to you here though. Enjoy!

Yours truly was in La Jolla, California Sunday night for the screening of Pure Pwnage episode 13. It was technically for work since I filmed the event for DivX. Unfortunately, I can’t edit it until early May due to other backlogged DivX projects, but when it is done it will be glorious… AND in HD (1920×1080) so keep an eye out at DivX Stage6 and this blog for that piece of video-y goodness.

Alas, due to some contractual miscommunication, the Pwnage was not allowed to sell merchandise in the theater. Ben, also from DivX, offered up his car which ended up being where the shirts got sold out of in the parking lot… in the rain. Despite conditions, spirits were up and plenty of people stayed afterward for merch and autographs.

Happy double lucky dragon good time pictures!

Jeremy signs an autograph as the valiant DivX crew films on!

With the somewhat wet Pwnage. Oh and some guy’s butt.

Kyle seems amused by Dwight’s apparent lack of Micro next to Jeremy.

Zog keeps the camera dry as Cris and Jeannine show off frog attache.

Chris Spencer likes to pose when he’s waiting to be seated at TGI Fridays…

Few people know that Jeremy is an avid player of Peek-A-Boo.

Mattzog is, how do you say… “special.”
