Three things I did not know:
1. The creator of Rocko's Modern Life made a Kickstarter three years ago.
2. Another British cartoonist is attempting to Kickstart something he made for Cartoon Network UK.
3. There are some websites that will help with funding to keep television shows alive.
Two opinions:
1. That British cartoon isn't going to get funded and that makes me sad, mostly because I'm a sucker for cute children and British accents. Combine them? I start throwing my wallet at the screen.
2. Kickstarter is good, but not everything produced there is always a good piece of entertainment.
One question:
1. Why does three more animated versions of that show cost $58000 (translated from pounds)?

First Film on iPad 2
Three things I did not know:
1. That this film existed.
2. The filmmaker compared using the iPad to to using 8mm film.
3. The filmmaker preferred the way the iPad made his video look.
Two opinions:
1. Meh. If it's the only thing you have, sure. Why not?
2. That trailer is one of the weirdest things I've seen.
One question:
1. Why not buy a $500 camera instead of an iPad?

Weekly comments
What I learned this week: I actually tried to learn some time management things.
What I want to learn in the future: How to not be so tired.
Something that frustrated me: That the weekend is already over.
Something that made me happy: Iron Man 3 was pretty good.
I'm on my iPad because I'm too lazy to grab my laptop, so... Here's a link to LEGO Breaking Bad. Pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSUK4WgQ3vk

Cute Characters
Three things I did not know:
1. To make cute characters, you need big eyes.
2. You should make the character look well fed.
3. Cuteness isn't just in the physical ports of a cartoon.
Two opinions:
1. Not all of the characters mentioned on the article are all that cute.
2. Sometimes characters shouldn't undergo transformations.
One question:
1. Why are the eyes the most important part of a character?

Vine
Three things I didn't know:
1. You could win $600 through Tribeca's Vine contest.
2. To make a six second film, you should always plan it out.
3. Leave the audience interested.
Two opinions:
1: I disagree with some other blog responders; to make a cohesive, enjoyable film in six seconds takes some serious talent.
2. Then again, they're pretty easy to mess up.
One question:
1. When will Vine come to Android?

Weekly Comments
What I learned this week: Going on a trip to a state competition puts you WAY behind work-wise.
What I want to learn in the future: How to stay focused in these last few weeks.
Something that frustrated me: That contest. I feel cheated because of the time restraints. 1pm means 1pm, not 2:30pm. Ugh.
Something that made me happy: I missed a lot of school this week :P
Hey, so I haven't finished this film, but it's pretty good so far. It's called Spy vs Guy, and it's on Vimeo. Click the link!

Pixar / Moore's Law
Three things I didn't know:
1. The Pixar guys knew that they would eventually be able to make something like Toy Story because of Moore's law.
2. Moore's law used both 12 months and then 24 months, and currently uses the average of 18 months (I normally hear 12 months, but that's just me.)
3. Moore's law is much like evolution - tiny changes become big results.
Two opinions:
1. Moore's law has become less useful in recent years as processor growth has slowed.
2. Animation will only keep getting better.
One question:
1. Imagine what animation will be like in 20 years? Lifelike?
