Actually, I just noticed the comments are broken, but we’re leaving for the holidays soon and may not have time to fix it until we get back. So, in the meantime, as Douglas Adams wrote, sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE:
The comments are working again, so feel free.
This is really cool. It’s hard to describe until you see it. You can basically scroll in or out on the image to infinity.
Thanks to our friend Jerry Blanco for finding this.
If you ever started your own country, would you rule with an iron fist or let your citizens vote on issues? Now you can find out by creating your own nation state.
I created the Kingdom of Mozeland, a liberal democracy, or what the UN calls a “civil rights lovefest.”

This is a heartwarming and geniuinely emotional story about J.M. Barrie, the author the play Peter Pan, and his relationship with a family of three boys and their widowed mother. Johnny Depp turns in one of his more subtle performances as Barrie. And Freddie Highmore is a standout as the middle-child Peter Davies.
I highly recommend this film, especially for families during the holiday season.
It’s Thanksgiving, so here are some cool links.
Cutaway Illustrations Of A Cruise Ship
Okay, this is irrelevant to anything Moser, but it’s one of the most touching real-life things I’ve heard of in a while. It started off with flyers posted around Seattle, apparently from a boy who’d lost his frog Hopkins. The mysterious flyer made its rounds on the internet and quickly became a phenomenon.
Now it seems the writer of the flyer is an autistic teen. The frog was a toy frog, which he lost and was apparently important enough for the kid to make a ton of flyers and post them around the city.
Here’s a link. The first page is the actual flyer. Clicking on the image takes you into all the Photoshop art spawned from the enigmatic sign. The story is pretty touching. Are you ready to be touched? Well, okay then. HERE.
The full story is HERE.
Gobble gobble! We hope you have as much to be thankful for as we do.
And to our friends from nations all over the world…happy Thursday.
STUDIOS SUE PIXAR, DEMAND BAD MOVIE
“Stop making the rest of us look bad,” demand Hollywood executives
The Philadelphia Inquirer is running a piece on the advance of virtuality into cinema. Reading the opinions of Robert Zemeckis on one end of the spectrum and Brad Bird on the other, I can’t help but feel that they are both wrong.
