• Animated GIF's have been around since the early days of the internet, and they've always been kind of low-rent. But the recent emergence of cinemagraphs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg have breathed new life into an old technology.

I follow several fashion blogs as part of my daily internet perusing. One of the stories that caught my eye recently is Burberry's intent to debut their catwalk collection via animated GIF's on Twitter.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!! And a very happy College Baseball Opening Day!! We wrapped up production this week on a few Intro Videos that will be debuting today. I can't wait to share them with you in the following weeks. For now, I'll share a few extreme sport videos that I am loving. Be sure to watch them in their full screen HD glory otherwise you might make Dustin cry.

So, yeah, this first one is a Red Bull commercial, but it's shot beautifully and the continuity in the editing is great. I'm having a total video-nerd moment here. I'd like to thank Tracie (aka Liz Taylor) for her contribution to this commercial's creation, for her years of loyalty to the Red Bull brand.

Today is Old Hat's 8-year anniversary as the baddest sports design firm in the biz-nazz. Thank you to all of our clients for supporting us and allowing us to still be in business after all these years. We're very grateful to be able to do the work we do, and some of it has even been pretty good. ;-)

I've been at Old Hat for 4 1/2 of those 8 years now, so I've seen a lot happen since I started. Instead of boring you with the details, I've decided to post a short little photo timeline celebrating some of the last year. Happy 8th Birthday Old Hat! Here's to 8 more.

ok guys, sorry for the short blog. I had a 500 word blog that was going NOWHERE....but THEN....then I saw this...and it left me speechless.

All you have to do is look at the gif and play the drum solo music...and try not to laugh. Easy for some, hard for those easily amused.

 

And if this doesn't do it for ya, take a break from all that work you have to do today and head over to your favorite go-to website that makes you smile...and LAUGH IT UP

• Cool post featuring early photos of hip hop artists before they were really huge. Check it out here. (via Feature Shoot)

• Like many I was sad to hear about Whitney Houston. When I was little my Mom had a small collection of records I used to listen to, with Whitney Houston featured prominently among them.

Even though I'm the manliest man among men (see below), I still love Whitney's music. One of my favorite songs of hers is below.
