My good buddy Rob Powers was the mastermind behind the virutal worlds in the hit movie Avatar. During SIGGRAPH 2010, he did a presentation in the NewTek booth that showed you how he created these award winning effects. In this video he’s not show the actual Avatar worlds but he is show how they linked real cameras into LightWave 3D and allowed James Cameron to see the virtual worlds in realtime.

It’s funny how time changes the meaning of things! Enjoy this flashback to the 70′s when enjoying your Johnson in public was not only accepted but also encouraged!
You and your Johnson. A way of life for over 50 years!

Ok… All of my friends out there.. go ahead and give me a hard time about being a Jewel fan. I don’t care how hard of a time you give me.. She’s awesome and you need to just admit it 
Saw this video today and had to share! With the help of the Funny or Die crew, Jewel goes undercover and hits a karaoke bar to do some of her own songs. Enjoy!
