I am now part of a World Record…
… ’cause the Mozilla Corporation says so!
It’s official.
With 8 002 530 downloads, they managed to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in 24 hours.
Congrats to the Mozilla Corporation and a pat on the back to everyone who helped!
We did it! We set a Guinnes World Record.
Balloon Race over - Thanks for your boosts
And it’s done!
I was nowhere near 1st place but that wasn’t what I was going for since Ibiza ain’t my cup o’ tea exactly. Got around 60 stars however, so if I’m lucky I’ll be winning something sweet when they start drawing the prizes (or did they already? whatever…)
I’d like to thank all you buddy boosters who took your time to boost me during this period. I tried my best boosting all of you back each day, and I hope it helped out in the end ;)
Mac vs PC - WALL·E Parody
Now, I don’t know nothing about how the movie goes because stupid ol’ Norway ain’t getting it until late, late next month (August 29th) so this comparison is purely based on visuals/aesthetics.
I’ll be creating a wallpaper pack soon with some resolution and grading variations.
Welcome, Balloon Racers! Need a boost?
The race is on now and I’m happy to see all of you fellow racers coming by.
Feeling a bit tired? Here’s a cool refreshing beverage:
In the meantime, while waiting for your balloon to exit the site, please take a breather, post a comment, let me hear how it’s going or just say hello.
Oh, and do you need a buddy boost perhaps? Boost me (I’ll take your word for it), post the link to your balloon and I’ll boost you in return for the favor.
If I happen to be all boosted out for the day, fear not. Just let me know and I’ll boost you anyway :)
Buddy boost me using the button in the sidebar here or @ http://www.playballoonacy.com/show/eda9c2b17ce04a4289d1e26ef2e09d12
Now, good luck and may the bestest balloon win! ;)
Beaded Game Characters [Updated]
Some make game characters more realistic by “untooning” them, I do the opposite by “beading” them… Here’s a truncated repost of a few game characters I did way back using beads as a medium. Sort of pixel art you could say.
I might just have to steal Pixeloo’s idea though and try this out for myself as well, perhaps both “untooned” and “beaded” — call it an unofficial collaboration if you will :)
Gallery back, again
This is what I get for brutally tearing down my site, having to rebuild an entire gallery. A pleasant surprise this time around however was the new gallery function introduced with WordPress 2.5
The gallery is currently 100% plugin-independent which is always a good thing. I also have a lot more control over it now since it’s all built manually with pages.
But I couldn’t find any guides on how to do it so I’m thinking maybe I should write a little guide on how I did it in case anyone would like to try it out for themselves(?)
Spore Creature Creator - Scrab, others
Another Oddworld habitant, this time the Scrab. But that’s not all folks, I’ve been having some fun creating other various creatures too, and I’m betting you might recognize the squiggly tentacles in this group of what I’ve created so far:
8 Million+ Firefox 3 downloads in 24hrs
And P.S.
I’m loving FF3, it just feels so much smoother, faster and finally it integrates well with the Mac theme natively, all compared to FF2.
Awesome work - we’re almost there!

Spore Creature Creator - Munch
So I got the Spore Creature Creator (Demo) for Mac yesterday. And, yeah, I know I’m late but I’ve been putting off updating to OS X 10.5.3 for some time now. Anyways, I’m a big fan of Oddworld and thought this game fits the theme perfectly, thus here’s my attempt at Munch, or a Munch-like creature at least. The demo is pretty limited so this is as close as I could, using some dirty tricks to get the eyes and mouth half-assed done.
Firefox 3.0 Today
Today is the big day we’ve all been waiting for! Firefox 3.0 is right around the corner but not only that, in case you haven’t heard, they are gonna try to set a world record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours.
