Don Hertzfeldt

He's a really awesome, creative, laid back dude - and it turns out he's right around my age. He's totally unassuming and approachable; all he cares about is making cartoons and putting crazy shit under a camera.

I got both his DVDs, and he happily signed them for me. He did almost an hour long Q&A after the animations, which included Billy's Balloon, Rejected, The Meaning of Life, and Everything will be OK chapters 1 and 2.

It's amazing how much more detail and clarity there is in both the visuals and the sound when you watch it on the big screen. I've only ever seen his stuff online, and I caught The Meaning of Life once when it was in The Animation Show. It remains my favorite.

I will be totally wasted tomorrow though. My god, I'm going to be utterly exhausted.

Want a Wii?

WII IS SOLD

I probably should have posed it this way... does anyone out there want to buy my Wii and all associated bits for $600?

I have several games, a Wiimote recharger, all the Wiimote accessories, a guitar, and some other stuff. I'd even be willing to throw in all my old Gamecube games, I've got quite a lot of those too. I can post a more detailed list if anyone's interested. Send me emails?

EDIT: Due to interest received over email, here's the full list of stuff for sale (at retail pricing, it all adds up to much more than $600)

- G-PAK Carrying Case - holds everything, including GameCube controllers
- 3 GameCube controllers
- Game Boy Advance (purple) with GameCube connecting cable (to use as controller)
- eReader for GBA with a bunch of cards
- Wii with Wiimote and all connecting cables, etc.
- 1 additional Wiimote (both with stronger strap and protective covers, both with rechargeable batteries)
- Wiimote battery recharger
- 2 nunchuks
- several GameCube memory cards
- Aerosmith Guitar Hero guitar
