I just spent the last few hours doing laundry, dishes, and vacuuming. I let it all pile up for as long as possible, so that I don't have to deal with it on a more regular basis. I don't know if I am energized from doing housework, or if it is because I started going back to the gym after taking a 16 month break, but for some reason I'm feeling very chatty and thought I would post some stuff that isn't related to Pico 2 or the web server.

I'll start with some plugs! The first is for Tromadance, which takes place during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. I attended the very first Tromadance, and would love to go this year. Unfortunately, I have classes on Wednesday and Thursday. Here is the schedule for anyone who can attend:

January 15th- 9:00pm-Midnight- Opening Ceremony and Reception at Night Flight Comics (Cottonwood Mall- 4835 South Highland Drive, SLC Utah 84117)

January 16th- 6:00pm-Midnight SLC Official Screenings @ Brewvies (677 South 200 West- SLC Utah 84101)

January 17th- 9:00am-6:30pm- Park City Official Screenings- Phat Tire Saloon (438 SO. MAIN Street- PARK CITY, UT 84060)
7:00pm- TromaDance 2002 Panel Discussion, (topic to be announced)
9:00pm- FREE TromaDance After-Party featuring the Finals of the First Annual Ultimate Tromette Competition

In other news... Shok is in Philly right now. I missed him at the Khyber because I had a wedding to attend, but we finally got to hang out yesterday. Shok recently did the soundtrack for A&E's Biography on River Pheonix - keep an eye out for it! All the music is by Shok! Also in this episode of Biography is Wil Wheaton, who has his own Blog.

MIT's Technology Review has a "special issue" about ENERGY. Pick up a copy at your local news stand! It is about all the fun alternatives to oil. I hear Bush is actually looking into fuel cells for cars now, which are non-polluting and can be made in America... I think - I just heard that, didn't actually read it anywhere.

If you are looking for some good music to listen to, I highly recommend The Strokes.

I hear that a video game company has moved into Philadelphia. Their name is Dream-something...? I am curious to learn more, so if anyone has any info, hook me up!

Ok, I'll get back to working on Pico 2 now.

Dont forget to have some fun and stay relaxed! and if your ever in nyc, drop me a line! w00t one of the first!@

hey, just remember, all work and no play make you a dull guy, and dull guys make lousey movies.

The Miss Dynamite game is alive and well. Sirkowski got diagnosed with tendonitis, and will be undergoing a few months of recovery during which he can't use his hand very much. It is possible that we will finish a smaller-scale version of the game in the meantime and then expand it later. The plans for it are pretty immense. Everyone wish Sirkowski good luck with his healing!

-Tom

I am close to Utah, but still a few states away. I would love to attend "A" film festival. What are they like? Does anyone know? Can you describe your experience?

The Strokes, are they a group with a weezer look and a 70's alternative rock feel? Would that be a general description?

Good Luck with your healing Sirkowski! I know I criticised your movies and gave them low marks but that's just me being a tight bastard! The Miss Dynamite series is great!

By d'way - Tom - if you manage to get a job working with a game's company will you still do the site?

(And will you be telling us how life's going in the new office?)

You probably get asked this a lot or summat... but you got any idea when Pico 2 will be finished?

YES PICO WILL BE HERE YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! PICO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the Strokes alright. :)

Tromadance goes on at the same time as Sundance, so there is a lot going on. Celebrities are out on the streets walking around, you can see lots of fresh new movies, and there are lotsa parties. Check it out!

-Tom

Another shameless promotion! Don't you just love it!!

MIT's Technology Review has a "special issue" about ENERGY. Pick up a copy at your local news stand! It is about all the fun alternatives to oil. I hear Bush is actually looking into fuel cells for cars now, which are non-polluting and can be made in America... I think - I just heard that, didn't actually read it anywhere.

I heard a bit about this myself. There is an interesting discussion going on at the Yahoo message boards under the Technology news. What I gathered is that the current project of increasing fuel efficiency to 70+ mpg is being scrapped in order to put money into the fuel-cell research. It was stated that the technology could be matured and mass-production of these new vehicles would begin in a decade. This would cause the need for a whole new infrastructure of hydrogen distribution and energy production (To create the neccessary hydrogen). Increases in the number of nuclear power plants was suggested as the only viable means to produce the energy, but other methods are possible (hydroelectric, wind, solar, and combinations thereof). The whole topic is fascinating, and Im happy to see a conservative administration considering it. What I can't figure out is how the heck "big oil" is allowing this to happen. They MUST be getting something out of this.
Anyway, there is more, and I recommend people check this out. There may be a need for educated voting in the near future (God help us!).

I hope you get into the Gaming biz. It would do us alot of good with your talents. (No, I'm not sucking up, I'm serious.) Alot of games out there, domestically made of course, are too... well.. overdone. I mean, yeah, no one seems to be getting tired of Grand Turismo, but still, can't someone here pop out something a bit different?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Tom, get into the Gaming Industry!

I agree. It would so rock if Tom became a full-blown game developer. :D
The Game industry has gotten really mainstream and Hollywoodized (which is not to say there's still some great stuff out).

The industry really could use someone original and unorthodox like Tom to shake things up.

I just wanted to add that an anime movie by the name of Metropolis is premiering in numerous cities on January 25th. It's from the creator of Akira and the director of X; and it's based on a comic from the creator of Astroboy. Anyway, for more info-including a trailer-go to http://www.spe.sony.com/cthv/metropolis/ .

bah i dont really like the strokes that much I think the band thats been touring with them alot (the Moldy Peaches) are much better and diffrent to most of the stuff that going around at the moment
yea i know what u mean about video games becoming mainstream and shit it seems like most games coming out now are just the same games with diffrent graphics and like a few more options in the game
i think tom could develop some new ideas and change the way things are acctually going in the games industry
any chance oh you putting on anouther NG party in a few years or something ?

Cool, I myself am cleaning me house. But I can't wait to see Pico 2, seems pretty neat....

Tom I have a question when will the site upgrades up and ready?

This isn't a response its more of a piece of information.. Atomik808 needs to be banned from NG. He posted a so called flash video of College University 5-1 which turned out to be nothing but a shit load of pop-ups. It even tries to download stuff to your puter. I along with various other members of NG want this put to an end.
Thank you for your time,

Here's my article, and it's ironic, "The Strokes" are playing next Saturday Night Live.

Crap, 56k! Or I like site.
By: Matt H.

Well my "friends", it's time to talk about God's curse to man: THE INTERNET. Now, the Internet isn't just a bunch of hormone crazed porno freaks, no, if you say that you're wrong, dead wrong! The Internet is full of lairs, freaks, porno freaks, morons, and pretenders, contenders, offenders, Ali, boxers, rockers, mockers, Woody Allen, etc..

Now we go to our first "attack": www.newgrounds.com The only other members "brave" enough to "attack" NG was the Clock Crew, which were hated (1)(remember, if there's a number in parenthesis next to a word, that's a footnote!) As I was saying, "Mr." Tom "NG CEO, creator, business contractor, porno salesman, etc.", created NG. Fulp who takes residence in (Note to self: find what state Tom lives in).
But seriously, Tom is truly "King of the Portal" Ranked #2 out of 150,000 some users. All of which only 24 people (2) HAVE flash 5. Most of the material is making fun of someone, but fortunately, we all hate those people, because we're told we do. Now I hate the Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, Tom (3), etc.
I don't hate Tom, so chill k? I must say that NG has given me so many laughs, and much more to come. It is a great site and the Creators, and writers, directors, asst. directors, Tom Hanks, people who hate Penny Bain, and soforth.
Well, we (4) only roast (I wouldn't consider this bad) the sites we love. So Tom, I salute you with a 21 ASSASSIN salute! Thank you….

Now we move on to www.dragonballzgtlegacy.com/org/http:getleg/moderation/forum/insertnamehere .com (5)
This site is full of good friends, old enemies, good old moderators, a guy named link (6), the KKK, and people who don't have anything better to do than to ask each other about cheese.
I've been at this site for about, oh, 8 months, and ALL my posts were erased. So in light of the fact it sux, I must continue to "crusade" my case: Give me back my 1000 posts! I need Jesse Jackson, this is racial divide, hatred on Chicago!
Seriously though, I have lots of friends, and people who care (7) about others (8). Now this site has more than cheese heads, it has pupils who make low-brow music videos, most of which I've downloaded, which is a lie! I must say though that makes me skip for joy is their RPG. Now I know what you're thinking, "RPG! This must take SOME programming skills, and lots of time!"
I got news for you, it's a writing game, (many boos and hisses from audience). Of course, I hooked in this addictive, write-your-own-fate game, I'm paying one right now! Science Fair!
So, this is truly a great site, many memories, too many Sweed's (9).

In conclusion, sites are great, I hate Osama, death to Osama, are you afraid? Tom Fulp is out to get you…….

(TO BE CONTINUED)

(1)MORE THAN ME!
(2)Lie
(3)Another lie
(4)As in I
(5)NOT REAL NAME! WOW!
(6)Amazing fact: He likes Link.
(7)Lie
(8)Except me
(9)FF

Tom HELP! I logg in but i can't vote with my name or deposit gold!!!!

The New Company is DreamWorks, and I hope that thing about fule cell cars is true cause I would like to get one, Because it only costs $.77 to fill up the cell and it gose 200kl on a tank of H1.

:) cool huh?

I'm really looking forward to the Miss.Dynamite fighting game!
Picture this:
Toom Fulp working for a gaming agency, and releasing Pico School, Pico 2, Pico VS Uberkids, Pico Bear, Sack Smash 2001, Disorderly, Disorderly Segway, Mason's Bubble Blast and Captain Low-Rez all on one CD for the Playstation 2!!!!
Can you dig it?!
