This is what happens when I get bored, I am tired of coding, and no one is around.
I found these fun little hobby things called CubeeCraft. They make great desk toys, they are relaxing to build, and they are cheap to make – you just need a printer and some time.
I started making a few, then a few more, and then I thought it would be cool to make one of everyone I know. But it dawned on me that I am not artistic in the slightest.
However, at WebDU 2009 I got a cool little animated head that looks similar to the CubeeCraft style so I decided to make a commemorative WebDU 2009 Rob Rohan Action Figure (my narcissism knows no bounds does it). Since I can’t do everyone else, might as well do myself eh?
For reference, here is my WebDU head:
And here is a photo from the iPhone Web App talk:
Here is my Action figure in all its glory:
However, that didn’t occupy enough of my time so I decided to try to film a commercial in order to entice you into buying my Action figure (which, of course, is not really for sale).
Anyway, so here is the commercial.
Man, I am pathetic.
It was interesting trying to get the blue screen to work (I don’t have iMovie 09 so I couldn’t use that feature). In the end it worked ok.
If for some crazy reason you do want the Rob Rohan WebDU 2009 Commemorative Action Figure, you can download it by clicking the image below – some assembly required.
If you still have time to burn, you can watch some clips of the after filming party (which was really me testing out all the parts to see if I could make the commercial).
I should also probably mention that the presentation and sample code can from the talk are available here, and the audio for the talk can be downloaded here. The feed to all the WebDU 2009 sessions is here.
