Well, it's the last day here at E3. I'm pretty exhausted, and am kind of looking forward to heading home and conking out on the bed. But hey, it's been pretty great so far. Yesterday I had a chance to play Mirror's Edge and Rhythm Heaven, both of which basically made the trip worthwhile for me. You can catch up with some of my impressions over on Destructoid, but for now here's me telling my favorite man in the world, Chad Concelmo, about the more interesting instruments available in WiiMusic. Woo hoo!

.tiff @ E3

Can't talk much as I have plenty of posts to write up for Destructoid, but things are pretty alright so far. This morning I woke up at 6 to be ready in time for the Nintendo press conference at 9, which sadly was pretty disappointing. Their biggest announcement was the introduction of the WiiMotion Plus, which essentially just makes the Wiimote work the way it was supposed to in the first place. The end all announcement was WiiMusic, which as you can tell, I did not have the most riveting impressions of.

Since then, I've been running around to various meetings... rapidly taking notes and trying to maintain a clam sense of sanity. I have yet to make it to the showroom floor to try any games hands-on, but all in due time I'm sure. Oh, and I'm also trying on Bionic arms. Pretty cool right?

p.s. I got a haircut :D

Last night, I went to my local Internet and found some really fantastic things! Since I haven't posted in a while (well, I did just go post on my other blog... actually) I figured I'd brush the dust off this blog and encrust it with some Internet G-E-M-Z! Here we go!:

1. V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A

The most amazing little girl with her most amazing father (and my good friend) singing Velouria by Pixies. I actually saw this a long time ago, but now I'm sharing!

2. The Faces of Anime - Bill Clinton

The Faces of Anime - Bill Clinton

From a something awful Photoshop Phriday thread. Braveheart is pretty brilliant too.

3. Card Crusher

Why I hadn't seen this video before Anthony posted it for Podtoid is beyond me.

I was having a pretty miserable day today. A vicious combination of stress, frustration, and loneliness typically will do the trick. Thank the gods that I have good friends, like ee.en, who even after he was drenched with my personal sorrows, went out of his way to send me this song. Interpret it how you like, but listening to A Postcard to Nina was exactly what I needed.

A Postcard To Nina

Jens Lekman

.tiff's score

alex's score

Nina I just want to check in
'cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way

Cathartic aural experiences also go well with a hefty dose of internet lulz. I took this Internet Culture quiz out of boredom, and was awfully pleased with my 184 score (as demonstrated below). Alex took the quiz too, but since he knows teh HTML's, ultimately pwned me with his score of OVER 9000. Thank you, Alex.

I think that .tiff has got her groove back. Check out today's selection on my TypePad blog.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Vimeo? Its one of those sites thats just so beautiful that you're compelled to visit just to get a breath of well designed air (or in some cases, upload vlogs about 3-D Cat Cards). I just came across this quick little music video of Robie, the Radioshack Robot Bank, on the front page.

My brother got Robie for Christmas one year and I was forever envious of his awesome robot bank. I'm pretty sure he still has it, and I'm pretty sure I still want to steal it. Observe the wonder that is Robie, soundtrack provided by Ratatat's Wildcat:

What was your random act of kindness today?
Submitted by Cher Cabula.

Convenient QOTD! Sweet! My fellow co-worker Kimmie has been feeling down and out as of late, so in effort to bring her happiness for the coming week I made these tiny felt happy tear buddies to cheer her up! You might notice that they look familiar, as they're based on a drawing I did last week.

Happy Tears - Felt Buddies

3-D Cat Cards

Much to my surprise, I too was greeted with an unexpected act of kindness when the visiting Vox product manager from Japan, Ayako, brought me a set of these incredible 3-D Cat Playing cards! The box design alone is pretty lovely, but the cards themselves are made of win and awesome. While you can't tell from the photographs below how awesome they truly, you can catch a glimpse of their 'special effects' in my very first Vimeo post over on my TypePad blog. Thank you so much Ayako :3!

What can I say, I have a lot of blogs. They're like my many precious chilluns, scampering around the blogosphere and spreading the good word of .tiff. Maybe I lack focus, but I'd like to think I have too many things to blog about to keep it all in one place. Or maybe I just have a multi-blog disorder. Either way, you'll have to get used to it.

My newest blog baby is my .tiff TypePad blog. A work in progress, by all means, but something I'd like to improve upon in the months to come. You should head over there and take a look at my post about the movie Murder Party. It has folks like the characters below, if you're interested.
