Stop-motion madness
Stop-motion animations are undeniably cool. A string of strategic still photographs shown as a progression can be used as a type of special effect, allowing its subjects to bend the laws of reality. Often, this is used for funny videos, like this one:
Tony vs. Paul

ASG presidential rap-off
Clarification appended
One round of ASG voting just wasn’t enough, apparently. Bill Pulte and Mike McGee ran closely enough to force a run-off vote, scheduled for this Friday. If you were one of the record 4,455 voters who cast a ballot, I’m sure you already have your mind made up (except for the Luke [...]
