Sheepfilms – animated GIF comedy

By Matthieu, January 24, 2010 2:37 pm

Today, I happened upon hilariously clever artist David Packer’s website, where he posts very short films, some of them short enough to fit in an animated GIF. (The two left images AREN’T animated. Click them.)

Sheepfilms – short comedy films and animations starring me, cardboard boxes and various fluffy animals including sheep.

Google may shut down Chinese operations due to censorship and cyber attacks – Wikinews, the free news source

Google may shut down Chinese operations due to censorship and cyber attacks – Wikinews, the free news source.

We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn…We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.

Good news, I say.

UMTS Network Frequencies

With all the new 3G cell technologies and phones, it’s kind of confusing to figure out which phones work on which networks. For example, the new Nokia N900 will not work on the Bell or Rogers 3G networks.

Fortunately, Wikipedia, as usual, has the answer.

Bell Mobility Canada November 2009 850/1900
DAVE Wireless Canada January 2010 1700
Fido Canada November 2007 850/1900
Rogers Wireless Canada November 2006 850/1900
Telus Canada November 2009 850/1900
WIND Mobile Canada December 2009 1700

Balloon Boy

“Six year old Falcon Heene was found to be hiding in the attic after allegedly being carried away in his father’s experimental balloon aircraft.”

Today a strange helium balloon was seen floating in Colorado. It was thought that there was a six-year-old boy aboard. The whole Internet watched in awe as the story unfolded. It was found out that the boy was actually hiding in his attic. Now the story is lolz, and has led to some precious tweets such as:

“What did Beyonce say to the parents of the 6-year-old kid that flew away in a balloon? If you liked it then you should have put a string on it.”

“Yo Balloon Boy, Imma let you finish, but Anne Frank had the best attic hideout spot of all time…”

“#balloonboy needs his ass poped…no pun intended lol”

I’ll say it again… what would we do without the internet?

So, did you know Shaq was a rapper? or that Jennifer Love Hewitt is a teenage girl? Here are some photos I found today on MSN.ca. (Yeah that’s right, I haven’t changed my IE homepage. because i use FIREFOX.) What would we do without random things on the Internet?
