The Jurassic Park 404 page

As part of this new site I wanted to have a fun 404 page, as I think keeping an element of fun and personality is essential when representing yourself. You could say this may be a bit of a trend but me and Keirset out over a couple of nights to hack…

Where is the internet?

  • friend: did you fix the internetz yet?
  • me: a good portion of it, yeh
  • friend: lovely jubbly
  • me: didn't you notice?
  • friend: Well my email is still slow. I guess you didn't get to that bit yet. I was thinking earlier. If someone really wanted to, could they delete twitterens?
  • me: not really
  • friend: could someone delete the whole internet?
  • me: not really no - that's pretty scary isn't it?
  • friend: yeh… I still don't understand where it is
  • me: everywhere. every computer that connects to the internet potentially holds some of the internet. it's completely distributed
  • friend: it must have a base though. is there not a central internet brain?
  • me: nope
  • friend: so when the person thought of the internet. Where did he put it?
  • me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Internet_map_1024.jpg - a network of computers, like a parallel circuit rather than series. you know how if one bulb goes out in series, they all go out, where as parallel currents if one bulb goes out, all the others stay on?
  • friend: yes from GCSE physics!
  • me: yeah, it's kinda like that
  • friend: ok that makes some more sense
  • me: if in your house you have 3 computers that are networked - none of them ARE the network but they are key parts of the network. the existence of more than one computer connected… is the network
  • friend: ok
  • me: like roads - there is no _one_ road, just many connected roads and cities
  • friend: OMFG. I got it
  • me: enlightenment
  • friend: You're the internet aren't you?
  • me: *headdesk*
  • friend: It's you

Paperman, a beautiful animated short by Disney.

It’s amazing the way Disney can tell stories without words that still pull on your heart strings. They can do what How I Met Your Mother has been trying to do in 8 Seasons in just under 7 minutes and far more affective.

The Amazing World of Gumball- Dino Donkey Dash!

We (Aardman Digital) were lucky enough to work on a dashing new set of games for Cartoon Network’s awesome kids show The Amazing World of Gumball! If you haven’t seen it before it’s freaking brilliant, and so funny, even for us oldies :)

So if you like poking, chasing, and creeping away from dinosaurs…and who doesn’t, then have a little play on our series of mini games. Tina the T-Rex will thank you for it!
