Dancing around copyright laws, Skuff & the Electric Slide LINKS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY HERE! I'm still annoyed that Ric went after people for doing his dance "wrong". So I made this video to express my displeasure. The "Electric Slide" dance is copywritten, and the creator went on a crusade a year ago, abusing the "Digital Millennium Copyright Act" in the process. He claimed people were infringing on his copyright, but a little research turned up otherwise. So I'm calling Ric to the carpet on a few other claims as well. In the video I make some claims, and here are my reference material, all available on the web to the public. Ric Silver Livejournal : http://nycsdancer.livejournal.com/ He used this to attack other LJ people who commented about "his dance". Electric Slide & legal trophy case / website : http://the-electricslidedance.com/ Oprah Show "contract" / http://the-electricslidedance.com/id6.html Ric's claim to have invented break dancing and it's various moves / http://the-electricslide.com/id6.html He claims to have done this between 1968 and 1972. He also claims a line dance in 1984, almost a decade before it was popular. Ric's resume / http://the-electricslidedance.com/id8.html C-Net article explaining why he made a crackdown / http://news.cnet.com/2100-1030_3-6156021.html "But on the YouTube page Silver himself posted showing the Electric Slide, he wrote, "Any video that shows my choreography being done incorrectly is being removed. I don't want future generations having to learn it wrong and then relearn it as I am being faced with now because of certain sites and (people) that have been teaching it incorrectly and without my permission. That's the reason I (copyrighted) it in the first place.""

Relay for Life in Second Life A tribute for heroes, survivors, and families left behind. "Relay for Life" is a nation wide fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. There are also events in Second Life, an online gaming community that has a global presence. RFLSL raised L$53,188,280 of in-game money, which roughly translates into $203,870 US. (http://events.cancer.org/RFLofSL) Other events held in the last two months included fishing tournaments, raffles, surf competitions, builds, concerts, and so much more. The Luminaria with the rose is the one I dedicated to my Mom, who fought the good fight but ultimately lost. I still miss you mom. This film is dedicated to her, and to the hope that nobody else has to suffer through what she did. Shot on the "Heroes" sims in Second Life after the event. Music by REM - "Everybody Hurts". Wolf avatar from Cheetah Kitty at "Lost Ferrals". Video production by myself. Tags: RFLSL Relay For Life American Cancer Society Machinma |

"Where the Hell is Socks" June '08 Second Life Surf Safari Matt made another video, so I do too. Furry see, furry do. Another surf safari, this time it's about 22 sims I think, including one I wanted to put in the last one but ran out of room for! Music is by "Blue Man Group" and is called "Mandelbrot part 4" All beaches are "live" as of right now, but that can change any minute really. Nothing is constant except change, especially in Second Life So if you go, enjoy it while you can. I know the footage is once again choppy, but until I get a new computer, it's the best I can do. On the bright side, we only crashed 4 times this go round. Oh, and this'll be the last machinma for a while. Need a new box, this one frustrated the hell out of us to do.

Where the hell is Socks (shorter) So, after some rethinking, I made a shorter version of this video, cutting about half the footage out to make it a little easier to digest. Plus cut out the end credits too, they did nothing really. The old vid is still here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWrQ_mqjfUs) if you'd like to see some extended rides and the bonus footage I cut out of this. Oh, and if you wanna fallow in my paw-prints, search for it. 28 links was killing youtube. Sorry. Tags: Second Life surfing furry cat fox |

"Where the Hell is Socks?" Surf Safari on Second Life READ MORE FOR INFO! Ok, we'll see who clicks on the "more info" tab here. This is a "response" video to the popular "Where the Hell is Matt?" I admire what he's done, and is going to be doing again apparently. But seeing as I'm not going to travel the world any time soon, I did it virtually. A Second Life surfing safari. "CameraFur" and me did this over the course of a few nights in May 2008. We were on the same wireless router, so I'm amazed the footage looked as good as it did using the equipment we have. We hit a lot of the major surf destinations in SL, but I know I left a few out. CameraFur is the fox you see at the "Neart" vid. And before someone asks, I'm on the wave in the background. Music credits : Rush "Dreamline" and Evanessence "Imaginary" We're working on a way to get higher quality video capture from SL, I'm thinking new computer with better video graphics, but we'll see how that goes. If that happens, a reshoot may be in order. The sequel is already being planned. When you see a the kitty pirate flag, it means it's a "Privateer" ride. (http://preview.tinyurl.com/68muly for more info on what that means, takes you to the "Surfwatch" blog.) Xuriel I should have had the flag up too, but it's listed as a "surf beach" even though you can't rez your board there. That was a long paddle, let me tell you. I was going to link to the slurl's, but after 25 links this seems to not like it. So, do a search for it instead. Just look up the sim name or the beach name, you should find it.

Majini Island surfing on Second Life Lag spikes from hell!!!! Just messing around on a few runs on Majini. WHEN DID THEY RELEASE SHARKS?!?!? Trying out a few things, experimenting and all that. Me and CameraFur are working on how to do decent video from SL, and this was the first attempt at it. We're gonna work on framerates, resolution, all that stuff. First try, kinda fun, we'll do it again sometime. Music is "Nitro" by Dick Dale. Tags: "Second Life" Surfing furry |

Dam Dariram (freestyle DDR puppy) Not the most elegant, I took two different dances and edited them together because of camera glitches, horrifying missteps, and other stuff. One of these years, I'll do it all in one shot for you folks. I also edit in a cleaner version of the song, so you can actually HEAR what it is. But this is me, halloween night, doing Dam Dariram. One of my favorite songs on the DDR machine. Tags: ddr freestyle fursuit fursuiter Dam Dariram furry dalmatian |

animals on treadmills I made this as practice, actually. Took a little time to go through several youtube videos, import them, and arrange them to the song. Mainly to stay in practice. And if you don't know the song, you haven't been on youtube very long, have you? Tags: treadmill cat dog ferret horse shrimp okgo compilation |

The MFF OPP reel, 2007 (Other people's pain is funny) Footage complied together for the MFF "Weird Stuff Found on the Net" video show. Music is credited at the end. As far as I know, everyone filmed walked away, eventually. Tags: opp ouch schadenfreude mff |

Ratchet and Clank 3, Biobliterator battle without hovercraft I really like this game, but I hate the hovercraft. It's slow, it's cumbersome, and honestly it SUCKS for firepower! While playing some time ago I figured that Ratchet has better guns than the hovercraft, so I decided to try it out. And, guess what, it works better this way. No cracks, no cheats, no glitches, just using what the game gives you. Tags: ratchet and clank biobliterator boss battle up your arsenal |

Puppy Flatland BMX I'm not the best BMX rider out there, I'm still learning. But considering I'm doing this in costume with thick gloves over my hands, it's not all that bad. Footage taken at a Halloween block event, where the kids went trick or treating on the Sunday before. I made the costume myself, and it's not the one I'll normally be wearing for BMX tricks later on. But in the short term, it's what I got. And hopefully, next Halloween I'll look a lot cooler on the bike. Music by "Blues Traveler" Tags: fursuiting BMX flatland halloween dalmatian furry |

Strongbad Funeral, redone so I was watching the Strongbad e-mail where he was talking about his funeral, and this scene came up. And it dawned on me that he could do better than "Tarantula"! So, I did a quick re-edit. Tags: homestar runner strongbad helena my chemical romance |
