Macromedia’s Flash is one of the single most powerful tools for web development. The combination of DHTML and Flash have created the all-singing, all-dancing web that we know and love (especially if we have nice fat broadband connections). Monkeyhub is a site dedicated to the power of flash as an animation tool. Check out their Radiohead “Creep” video and the hilarious “Microsoft Pants” sketch. I love the bit about IE being debugged by moles who live at the centre of the earth. I always suspected as much. Monkeyhub also have a collection of work-in-progres animations and websites for the various companies that have contracted their web design skills. These include RapidCare (contact lens cleaning system) and Ralph Lauren. The results are stunning.

Very funny and profane humour from Illwillpress.com. An particular favourite of mine is the tech support one. Like much of the best satire there’s serious social commentary here masquerading as comedy like the remark about the indian tech support getting $20 a week (about the same as their outsourced US counterparts used to get an hour). If ground-breaking US-satirist Bill Hicks was alive today I reckon he’d sound very much like Germaine on iwillpress.

Still can’t decide whether this is awful or funny? I’ll put it to the gallery..

Two fonts walk into a bar and the bartender says, “We don’t serve your type here.”
So the two fonts went and called the SERIF.
So, the fonts returned SANS SERIF, but they brought with them DEPUTY VETTICA. The deputy started to heavily quiz the bartender, and the fonts yelled, “Give ’em HELVETICA!”
The serif was finally located. He was around the BLOCK, reading the TIMES.
Now you may think the deputy’s name sounds Czech, but actually it is ITALIC.

Ever find yourself eyeing up someone near you in a nightclub. Most time you get away with it as nobody notices and there’s no photographic evidence to prove otherwise. Not if your mates are keen photographers who take a digital camera with them everywhere they go. Thanks for this one Jen, it’s dead funny and catches me at my best/worst… hahaha

Jen’s a budding amateur photographer and her online photo album is located at iwokeupdeadtoday.com. Check it out, some great shots there.
