Math Jokes (2)

When our calculus teacher actually told us this joke today, people actually did start laughing when she said they were walking down the street, which is what inspired Unnamed Character’s reactions throughout the daily flash. Except she actually understands the joke, contrary to what actually happened with some people. A lot of people in the class didn’t seem to get it at first, although they laughed at the earlier parts that weren’t really supposed to be funny. It was probably sarcastic laughter though; I know I was laughing sarcastically throughout, and then when she got to the punchline, I actually did think it was funny. Also, did I mention that calculus is awesome? Because it is.

Misc. Animation Stuff

Here’s this flash with Headphones Character and Long-Haired Character. I’ll probably add Bored-Looking Character and Teacher eventually as well. Maybe with some music and flashing lights, except I sorta fail at finding music.

And here’s the flash from the summer course I took, but with some new camera techniques (click the link to watch the original version without the fancy camera stuff). Except it’s not actually a camera because I’m not really filming anything, but you know what I mean. I made this because recently I decided to see if there was some way to move the visible area around like a camera instead of moving the entire background around the stage like I usually do, and I found something on the internet and decided to test it out. I chose to use this flash because it probably has the most action out of all the stuff I’ve ever made. Yeah.

Nascar Racing


Races would probably be much more interesting if the tracks weren’t just… ovals. Well they’re not exactly ovals, but close enough. Or maybe if they had boxes on the track with power-ups and items in them. And places where you can instantaneously boost your speed by driving over something. Looking back, I feel like that would’ve made for a much more interesting daily flash. By the way, something does happen if you decide to wait for the guy to go through 500 laps (assuming I did it correctly). It’s not really worth it, though.

In any case, while I’m on the subject of Nascar racing, I might as well post this satirical video from The Onion, which I think is hilarious.

Cirno is a Genius + Saimoe Stuff

Here are two videos from Cirno is a Genius (The second one is a parody, it’d probably help to see the original), with some super-awesome camera/lighting techniques and special effects! And create.swf! The videos look a lot better in HD. I mean a lot better. Anyway, yes. Nifty. It probably would’ve been better if I had posted the first one yesterday, seeing how it was Monday and everything…

In other news, a bunch of Touhou characters made it past the International Saimoe League 2009 nominations! Here’s what melange has to say:

Well in the end Reimu, Marisa, Aya, Remilia and Patchouli made it in with another 43 contestants to make 48 total.

Next will be 7 or 8 preliminary rounds which will whittle this number down to 27 characters who will join the 37 prequalified characters in the main league of 64.

In brief, these preliminary rounds will be held thus:
1. 48 characters divided into 4 groups of 12.
2. Each group will compete, the one with the most votes in each group will qualify for the main league.
3. Remaining characters are reshuffled into new groups and compete again until all 27 slots are filled.
(For more detailed information, please see the rules page)

The 1st preliminary round will be start on 0000 GMT, Monday, 19 January 2009.

P.S. In the main league of 64, each character will have a match with every other character, i.e. every character has 63 matches. This means that during each voting round, there will be 32 matches (32 characters vs 32 characters). The rules are such that during the main league voters must vote in a minimum of 8 matches.

And as you can probably guess, yes, homework took a lot longer than expected today too. Perhaps it’s because of my naps. I should stop taking naps after school… but I can’t.

Poppipo

In other news, homework took longer than expected… again.
