The Notepad And Memo Device Of Movement

Nintendo is a much beloved game developer/publisher. Most people, gamers and non-gamers, have had at least minimal playtime with some Nintendo game. For those who haven't, they are at least vaguely acquainted with some of the characters and the name of the company.

Nintendo is also known as being The Most Forward-Thinking Console Developer. Naysaying persons often refer to that Forward Thinking Console Developer as basing its success off of gimmicks. The Blog Keeper would like to argue against that concept. The Same Blog Keeper would also like to counter the occasional flak fired at The Most Forward Thinking Console Developer for having concocted consoles and controls schemes that were terrifically terrible.

The defense being that one(in this case, The Forward Thinking Console Developer) cannot advance without many trials and subsequent errors. The Greatest Artists were not born being able to draw and paint well, they practiced and went through many more hideous scribbles than they ever did masterpieces.

That's what The Forward Thinking Console Developer's Virtua Boy and Power Glove(perhaps the two most famous flunks) were. Not to mention the Phillips Cdi and its attrocious acts being the direct result of a contract deal with Phillips.

However, were they not willing to take such risks, they would have never known the nature of how stereoscopic 3d should be presented. How would they know that the accelerometer technology in the Wii would be useful without having tried it? Everyone shided the DS with its unimaginative name and "gimmicky" touch screen that would supposedly never amount to serious gameplay. Yet the popularity of The Dual Screen Device From The Forward Thinking Developer shows that it was not a simple kitsch that would quickly fade away.

In fact, Apple, which nobody ever seems to want to criticize, has made a killing off of employing the same concept in their own device. The iTouch is not original. It is simply a more PSP-like version of The Forward Thinking Console Developer's The Dual Screen Device, which is what many people said they wanted to see. Many said that the next iteration of the DS should void the second screen, in favor of the real feature they wanted to experience, which was the more tactile interface.

There are cartridges that allowed The Afforementioned Dual Screened Device to Dual function(which, in this case, totals it up to a trifecta of function) as an MP3 playing device, which precedes the iPod Touch(henceforth refered to as the iTouch), and gives it all of the same functions. An Opera internet browser allowed The Dual Screened, Triple Functioned Device to conduct all of the same, frequently used operations of the iTouch. On top of it, there are games in existance for The Afforementioned Dual Screened Device that do not exist for the iTouch, due to its own lack of buttons being quite inhibiting in the long run for gameplay funcitonality.

Of course, the iTouch has the capacity for interpreting to points of contact simultaneously. However, the precision and sensitivity of The Apple Device With One Less Screen is inferior, not to mention the inability to respond to a plastic stylus(The Blog Keeper understands this as a limitation of the electrosensitive technology that give the device its tactile function).

Even with 3 years of time to follow up and improve, The Apple Device With One Less Screen still has inferior aspects to counter its superior functions. Colors, a popular app for the iPhone/iTouch, was first developed for The Afforementioned Dual Screened Device. Now, in following, we finally conclude this rant on the part of The Blog Keeper, and are given the opportunity to witness The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

Moving Memo

This Cool Thingamujig's main feature of attraction to The Blog Keeper is its capacity to create frame by frame animations on The Afforementioned Forward Thinking Console Developer's Dual Screened Device. This is cool, indeed.

So, The Blog Keeper presents to you, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day

The Act Of Surpassing

The act of surpassing has little to do with this post, aside from the fact that it once again has put this blog in front of The Blog Keeper's Other Blog in number of posts.

Aside from that, The Blog Keeper would like to bring to your attention The Cool Thingamujig Of This Calendar Day. This Cool Thingamujig being a set of illustrations of various children's respective dreams.

Without further delay, The Blog Keeper shall present to you, the reader, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

That is to say, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day will be presented to The Reader(you), not that The Blog Keeper shall present you to yourself. If you believe you are in need of presentation to yourself, The Blog Keeper would like to recommend that you first seek medical help, as that can't be good for you.

One Hell Of A Story From North America

The Blog Keeper's continent of residence has an interesting moral tale to tell. Whilst far from being a marvel of technically impressive animation, there is an interesting story here with some powerful characters, their power being derived from their origins in human primal and philosophical thought. The story speaks for itself quite well, so The Blog Keeper will circumvent any more long-winded description and simply present to you, fine reader, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

Experimental Animation Galore

The word "notebook" can mean multiple things, depending on context. Today's Cool Thingamujig Of The Day is a notebook of various kinds taken into a different context. In a fascinating display of witty animation, this digital notebook is made entirely out of paper. However, this paper is obviously some kind of magical electronic paper. How else to explain being able to run Windows XP on a screen that was drawn out with a pen? It's not as if one could use editing programs like After Effects to edit the footage and fake all of this obvious magic!

Without further ado, The Blog Keeper present to you, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

Belated Celebration!

Of having matched the writer's original blog's 14 posts with the Cool Thingamujig Of The Day! Though, in counter, The Blog Keeper actually updated that blog which most would expect to be his "main blog". No, the writer will not be a self promoting dousche and get cheap on today's Cool Thingamujig Of The Day by linking his own blog as The Cool Thingamujig. The writer simply felt that the score count was interesting. However, it will likely be some amount of time before it's been beaten thoroughly enough so as to not want to come back for more beatings.

With that said, I present to you, without further ado, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

Today's Cool Thingamujig was, in a sense, brought to the writer's attention by a friend. However, this attention bringing was not done in the traditional sense of being directly informed. Instead, One Of The Blog Keeper's Friends(yes, sole reader, you are not the only one) mentioned photo reference sites. In response to this, the writer recalled what then wasn't, but was later to be, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day. This Cool Thingamujig Of That Day We Will For Now Refer To As Today, is an interesting website that centers around character design. Along with the artists that they occasionally feature, clicking on the "Photosets" link under "Archive" in the navigation bar that is situated on the left hand(stage right) side. Here can be found a nice collection of reference photos that can be practiced from. So, with the long-winded-ness out of the way-ness, The Blog Keeper hopes that The Reader enjoys The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

That Mysterious Writing On The Wall

Today's Thingamujig is a short video showcasing some very skilled writers that not only have some beautiful 3d Wildstyle, but also did some very impressive background work. Let's also acknowledge their tenacity in restricting themselves to spraypaint cans, like so many muralists seem to do(which brings to mind the question of whether anyone has ever used oil paint to do graffiti, I have heard of house paint, etching fluids, markers are popular for tags....but has anyone ever tried oils?).

Questions of mediums aside, I present to you, the Cool Thingamujig Of The Day!

The Art Of Imagination

The Art Of Imagination apparently has a society dedicated to it. Not only that, but they have a website! Or, perhaps it's only a website, with little or no society actually backing it....

Regardless! This web page of imaginative, artsy goodness has many interesting works. All of said "imaginative works" are packed into one website with a distinctly 90's look.

Again, regardless! The various surrealist and mystical works come in various mediums, from traditional to digital paintings to sculptures. The Society, as I will refer to it for the next sentence or two, is a cool place. So cool, in fact, that it is today's Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.
