Recently we (that’s me and David Stevenson) were contracted to produce 40 quick websites – I’d love to tell you about them but I have to keep hush at the moment.
Here’s two that we liked so much that we kept back from the project to give to you, dear internet, to give to you.
BTW: I very much recommend attempting to think-up and produce 40 odd websites in two weeks. It certainly clears out the the brain a bit and makes you a bit mad and high.
Myself and Dave Stevenson have spent most of Jan and Feb writing songs and animating.
Bored of flash, we decided to use stop motion and bits of paper.
We really hope you like them because we put a lot of ourselves into this stuff.

A change of pace here – not so much meant to be amusing, just a quirky set a of lyrics I wrote 6 months ago that me and Dave adapted for the Mr Pitchy project.
I also should say thanks to Simon from The Pineapple for allowing me to film and annoy his regulars on a quiet Wednesday afternoon, and props to Rob Wakefield for making some very useful suggestions and listening to me prattle on about different versions of this project for a few weeks. HUZZAH.
I’ve been fiddling about turning my old flash stuff into videos so I can upload nice clean copies to the video sharing sites. Why? Because people are uploading my work anyway, and making it look rubbish by not encoding it properly.
You can get the complete list here, well not exactly complete but enough to be getting on with anyway.
Feel free to embed, or whatever you kids do with your upload codes these days.
Haven’t made an either/or quiz in three years or so, so I thought – like a dog returns to his vomit – I’d have another go.
As this is my blog, rather than the B3ta Newsletter, I’ll give you some geeky background that I wouldn’t normally bore people with as no one gives a shit.
I’ve rejigged the javascript back-end so that one bit of code now controls all the either/or games such as Female or Shemale and Man milk or Moo Milk.
The code no supports image reveals. Not that essential in Tranny or Granny, but might be useful in the future.
New layout – using the width of the screen rather than a big scroll.
Spent a fair bit of time making the backing music. Found that Garageband is bloody awesome. It allows me to make quick music ideas without fighting the technology.
Four years ago, Lastminute.com asked me to make a song and animation for promotional purposes. The chappy who commissioned me was Carl Lyons, and the project (executed with Jonti Picking) was Disco Squirrels.
Carl recently got in touch and asked if I could do something similar. He’s now part of Truphone, a company that supplies a service to allow free VOIP calls on wireless enabled mobile phones. And that’s a mouthful.
Of course I’m happy to oblige. This time I dragged in Joel Veitch and Ed Snow and we produced this:
Here’s a page that didn’t make the Sick Joke Book due to a last minute production issue, which was a shame as it was one of my favourite ideas: cut these jokes out and stick them in the crackers to liven up Christmas.
Anyway, you can download it as an A4 PDF for printing, and tell me if you do actually do this, this Christmas. Of course, if you’re stuck for present ideas? Buy the book.
RIP ROB MANUEL. I'll be taking kittens to his funeral. I love his Weebl & Bob stuff #riprobmanuel7 hours ago
I so don't trust the trending list these days that I see "RIP Eddie Murphy" and I assume someone has written a dickheady tweet and he's fine 7 hours ago
