This kid is amazing. I'm just blown away.

The Brick Factory from Eric Tsutomu on Vimeo.

From Eric's vimeo profile:

"I'm a High School student that lives in the Bay Area. I am a huge fan of the Golden State Warriors. I film with a pretty inexpensive camera called the Canon HV30 w/a Raynox DCR-6600 wide conversion lens. I use a Rode NTG-2 shotgun microphone for my sound and I edit in FCS2."

iPhone 3.Oh?

I was all pumped to download the fabulous new iPhone 3.0 update yesterday. After all I had heard nothing but hype for the last few weeks about how awesome it was. I had seen tweets about how terrible the download and install process was throughout the day, about how some people had to do it 6 times. Really? 6 times. Sounds like an exaggeration to me.

After about 5 seconds the Song List view scrolls up from the bottom giving you the opportunity to either load a current song or create a new one. You get to name your song, tap the Create button and you're back to the matrix. At the bottom of the screen are several navigation buttons. Rewind, Play, Layer and Pattern selection, Options, and Mode.
