Exploring again
September 30th 2008 21:43
After several weeks of being more pushed for time than usual due to being heavily involved in the Narnia play, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I now have some room in my life again. Evenings are free, for instance, and I’m even have three days off from work and away from the office furniture!
Which is all giving me time to do a bit more exploring of the Net than I have done for a while. Anyway, came across a site today called Already Been Chewed. The aim of this blog is to serve up fresh media ideas for churches because nobody likes to be fed something that’s already been chewed.
The site is fairly new, I gather. I was alerted to it from another Church/digital site called The Digital Sanctuary, with whom it seems to share a fairly tongue-in-cheek approach to blogging. I’ll talk more about the Digital Sanctuary in another post, when I’ve had time to check it out further.
Meantime, if you’re a nerdy-geeky kind of person, check out the CollegeHumour video under the post, You May Be a Design Nerd…. It turns well-known fonts into characters, with Times New Roman as the most important and business-like, and puts them through a brief crisis (in which Courier is rescued by Comic Sans). Wingdings makes a couple of insane appearances. It’s made in a top professional style, with an excellent music score.
The CollegeHumour site itself has a heap of other crazy videos, such as The Awkward Rap (one of the few rap songs I’ve heard where the words are actually clear!) and 24: the Unaired 1994 Pilot, in which Jack Bauer and co try to cope with AOL 3.0, Internet charges, and phone boxes.
I’m not sure who these are made for, but they’re obviously popular, and there’s plenty of money behind them.
