Ninjai: Chapter 12

Is out for viewing. This round we get to see more action from his companion. If you don’t know who then you’ve got to head on over to Ninjai.com to find out. If you’ve not watch Ninjai before, it’s about this small samurai kid on a journey. He battles evils known as demons and tries to make friends.

Currentyly, he’s being hunted by a sick general who likes bathing in blood and his apprentice student. As the boy continues his journey, the Ninjai gang is continuing along the story. They actually stopped production approximately 2 years ago but are back and even far better.

Go and catch Chapter 12 now.

Winged Sandals

Produced by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
in association with The University of Melbourne’s Centre for Classics and Archaeology. It’s a website that tells about the Greek history with the Gods and Goddesses in it. The website is not as visual as what you’d normally come across but their stories section is the most interesting part of the website.

I think 2-3 artists did the stories. Each used different style to create the animation. I was only familiar with one of the styles because I’ve seen the work before at Federation Square. Anwyay, check out the website HERE and tickle Hermes while you’re at it.

It's BONUS Day

And I just found today that the small ninja boy, NINJAI HAS RETURNED! The animation is awesome and Chapter 11 is something that will opened up your eyes to detail. Watching it was like watching an anime but in Flash. 0.0 If you don’t believe me how good it was, here’s a teaser of images. If you want to just jump there, hop to Ninjai.com [opens new window].

If you’re not interested in Flash animation, then here are 2 absolutely pretty websites that I got notified through DesignersDepot. Ones called, Bill Winter Safari that can click HERE [opens in new window] to view. The other is called, F1 Play that you can visit by clicking HERE [opens in new window]. The thing I didn’t really like about F1 Play was that they should’ve utilized more space for content instead of having the scrollbar.

I’d sacrifice abit more for usability then to maintain the UIs consistency. However, I guess they do make up with their superb elegant modern design. Kudos to both website designers.

Tim Yang On Offense

Against Motorola’s Motoblog website has struck a fireball against Motorola and NetInfinium, who developed the project. He didn’t come from all sides as his geekiness only was up to the level of so-called, business blogging.

In my humble opinion, if there’s no clear sign of trading or selling practice then how do you even categorize it as a business? I’ve got a question for everyone, how do you look at the Nike Art of Speed website, HERE [opens new window]. And to be transparent with everyone, that was what Motoblog was trying to achieve.

I felt Tim Yang also took personal punches at the bloggers who helped the project by providing a space in their busy schedule. He criticized that none of the articles written had any dynamism in it. Now, if I were to ask you, how many of you really find dynamism in a person’s journal type of blog and get excited? I wonder how many hands would there be.

Tim definitely went all the way through as he even commented on the photos that were taken by the bloggers. He said, “And the photos are generic shots of cars, food and other still life. Hardly “dynamic” stuff.” Anyone could guess what kinda dynamic stuff he was looking for in terms of camera phone photography. Does a blonde with a high slit and nice numbers count as dynamic?

Oh, one of the best part of his article. He even hammered the Terms & Conditions that was on the website. Does a geek really do all this just to fill their time? Gosh.

I’ve got no true way to end this article but it would be for the better because for a person who comments on a project till this extent:

I don’t think he’s a person that qualifies himself as someone who accepts new ideas. As for those out there who’s done the same, it only takes one to create a rebellion but if you hadn’t any involvement in the project, all you can do is exploit the freedom of speech.

If you’ve worked with multibillion corporations, why not comment even on the clients you have online on your website? And also why not allow people to comment your article? Are you worried you wouldn’t have anymore freedom so you take other readers freedom away too? Oh yeah, guess what else Tim Yang the Malaysian does to his other fellow locals online, HERE [opens new window].

Does anyone want more? Google is such a lovely tool to use.
