EARTH DAY! (WHO KNEW!)

Well, it's Earth Day, and we at Wacky Canoe just wanted to say thanks to those who actually celebrate it. Seriously, the Earth is important, so why not DO something this Earth Day, instead of just wearing a blue and green t-shirt!

Top 5 Things to Do On Earth Day:

1) Dress up as Al Gore and say why YOU should have been elected Pres!

2) To reduce litter, get a pile of all those unrecyclable (gas tanks, paint cans) and cycle-able products, and put them on a huge fire. Mmm. Monoxide Marshmallows!

3) If you have one of those really annoying Earth Geeks, the ones who go to those “Environmental Meetings”, take them down to a Ceveron Company Conference, and show ‘em who’s boss!

4) Buy an electric car, and then use the battery to play Xbox!

5) Hope that next year, you won't be dared to strike naked painted green, saying "Go Hippies!" through the streets, all due to some dare that you made when you where drunk last St. Patrick's Day. :(

Phylosiphy and Video Picks of the Week

Post by Nathanael Draper (crazzymoose)

This week we had a new video uploaded on Machinima.com. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUXqYKlsWCU) This was another school project turned into a video. I was fun to make and fun to edit so now you can watch it. I'm kinda dissapointed because its not doing as well as I would like for the quality it is. Not that its bad its just that no body's watching it. I thought this would actually do better than some of the other stuff. The one thing I realized is there's a major flaw in my thinking, it is a trailer for a Shakespearean movie. Shakespeare doth speakith rather strangeth englisheth. The general Machinima fan doesn't have a very large tolerance for Shakespeare. I am not a large fan myself but think about it, his plays are still being performed 400 years later as if they're brand new. I sure wish my films could be around for centeries to come.



After my long and likely boring rant I now present my video picks of the week

Youtube Symphony Orchestra - "The Internet Symphony" Global Mash Up
KickThePj - Innovative Gaze

HAPPY EASTER!

From the WHOLE Wacky Canoe Team. Happy Easter! Stay in tune with the lastest updates on our shows "Talking to Mii's, Forged Physics, Larry the Loud Librarian", and our Wacky Podcast, and Living Cartoons! Oh, and for you Passover hommies, kinda late but HAPPY PASSOVER TOO!

I Can't Think of a Title for this Post

I know its a little late but I have some exciting news. I won a Thea Award! What's a Thea Award Nate? A Thea is like the Middle Ontario Theatre version of the Oscars. To be quite honest I had no idea the thing even existed until I recieved it. Before I mentioned that I was writing the music for a play. Apparently the adjudicator really liked it and gave me the "Most Promosing Youth or Newcommer Award." The coolest thing is that there's a trophy to go with it. It looks kind of like a female version of the oscar but it's wearing a monk robe.

In other news, you may have noticed the new podcast. My fried Dan wants to make one monthy. You may have also noticed our attempt to allow subscriptins via this blog. I'm still playing around with it but its not working. If anyone has any suggestions on a quick and easy way to subsribe to our podcast with iTunes can you please email info@wackycanoe.com?

One other thing I'd like to start doing in order to keep up with regularity is start doing a video pick of the week. This is where I'd pick videos from across the internet (not our videos, maybe sometimes) and tell you which ones I liked. These videos are going to be recent videos, within the last week or so, I may find something a bit older that I like and post it. I'll write it as creator-name of film

Video Picks of the Week
SMP Films - What Goes Up...
Patrick Boivin - Iron Man vs Bruce Lee
Mercer Report - RMR: Frontpage

There is also going to be a video uploaded to machinima in the next week or so. Happy Easter fellow Earthlings
