Whoa, whoa there buddy. Where do you think you're going?
Not with that Mac you're not. The Fix, she don't like Macs.
But we're sweet talking her. Wining and dining her.
Sending appropriately casual yet suggestive IM's. Things will change.
Until then, here's a weekly mini-Fix.
Those chumps with PCs have to sift through all the other crap to find this gem.
While I appreciate their sensitivity to my needs, the mini-Fix does not do the job. Lucky for me, I think I have found a replacement. Meet Channel Frederator. They're the folks who brought you Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, etc. Now they've got a weekly webcast of user-submitted animated shorts, complete with snarky bumps between episodes. The fact that it is user-submitted means the occasional short can disappoint, but the huge variety of styles and ideas is more often rewarding than annoying. Plus, each week they let the viewers vote on which shorts they liked most, so they can improve their selections in the future.
What I like most of this is that submitting doesn't require agreeing to a verbose license agreement or forfeiting your rights to your work. I'm no lawyer, but the "fine print" seems clear and concise enough for me to understand it:
By submitting this form you agree that this cartoon is your work, you have permission from everyone who worked on the cartoon to submit it, you have composed all the music yourself or have permission to use it, the whole cartoon is original, and you're over 18 years old or have a parent's permission to submit this cartoon. You will retain complete ownership of your work and we will not use your film in any other way without your expressed permission.
Because we want to pack as many cartoons as we can into each episode, Channel Frederator may have to edit or delete your film's credits if we feel they go on way too long. Don't worry, we'll still list them on our Website.
It's a lot of fun, and definitely worth checking out the next time you have 15 minutes.

When I go to the Adult Swim fix, the page loads and then it buffers and then it says "Sorry, this short can only be viewed within the U.S." The don't even throw be a bone! And The Channel Frederator looks awesome, but again being in China means no Google video, though I've yet to see if I can find a way to play m4v files. What can I say, it's a hard knock life ...
"The don't even throw be a bone!"
wow ... I mean I use English words, but not really in the right order ...
BTW - China says it likes your blog again.
