The Ajax Universe + The Presentation Randomiser

This is partly for my own bookmarking benefit, but thought I’d share with the rest of the class. Ajaxian put up a video from a 2006 (seems so long ago…) WWDC presentation from Adobe. A thoroughly interesting talk in itself, but the fun part is their “Presentation Randomiser” which prompts them to change over who’s talking at random intervals between 10 seconds and 2 minutes. Despite being highly amusing at first it actually breaks up the talk very nicely and allows them both to chip into the same point without having to go into general banter, which can be a bit tedious at times if there are too many in-jokes.

We Won

“We are and always will be the United States of America…because of what we did this day, change has come to America.

Oh yes. Yes yes yes.

The Political Viewpoints of WoW

Quite an interesting video from the guys over at machinima.com, looking at the political opinion of the populous. To be honest I wasn’t massively surprised to see Obama having a high percentage. Amusingly they looked at not just Alliance vs Horde but also the different races, which probably means nothing whatsoever but fun to see all the same.

Poor Translation

Liking this translation blunder in Swansea, Wales- obviously no-one proof read it as it says “I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated.” The sign’s now been removed (see the via link), but the fail deed is done…
