Cool Opportunity: William Shatner Animation Contest(10/24/2010 12:23)
Can't. Believe. How awesome. This is. Can't stop. Typing. Like. William Shatner. Must. Resist. Urge. To say. Denny Crane.
nullOkay. My jokes aren't funny. I get it. Although now I'm going to have "Rocket Man" stuck in my head for a week. To get a little more to the point: Myouterspace.com, William Shatner, and Toon Boom are partnering for an animation contest that has my little geeky Trekkie heart all in a tizzy.

Which is Better: Flash or an Animated GIF? (10/10/2010 12:51)
Which is better: your big-screen plasma TV, or the little rabbit-eared portable black-and-white in the back of your camper? Well, maybe that's an unfair comparison, but it gives you an ...
