Here is the action figure I was talking about... onlinedid.com/products/obama_action_figure/
unfortunately, this one doesn't have him holding weapons and fighting Darth Vader. Ho Hum...

Sorry for yet more Obama-posts but I thought this was quite interesting.
It lists 500 of Obama's campaign promises and shows how many of them he has implemented, stalled on, is working on, or failed on.
Obviously, he hasn't got very far through the list yet [though he has made a good start!] but it would be interesting to see how it progresses through his term in office.
Now all we need is similar charts of ex-presidents' abilities to keep their campaign promises!
A British version would be interesting too - let's see just how truthful our politicians are.

The entire life, transformation and appearance of every Dalek prop ever made!
Gets a bit boring in the middle, not to mention rather excessively involved in speculation at times, but if you have the patience to wade thru it all you learn some fascinating facts, including which parts were re-used by our frugal Beeb for over 20 years, and how some commercial designs were mistakenly based upon rehearsal photos when the Daleks were numbered and tagged using tape and carried this 'design feature' thru to the completed models!
Goes on a bit, from their first appearance right till modern remakes, but it kept me entertained for hours!

Aye, if you want them to remain 'Real' then this is not the site for you!
However, if like me you're a geek for 'How It's Done' and behind the scenes and such, very enjoyable!
I never even knew they sat down inside them, and was most amused to discover a lot of the external appearance of screws and bolts was simply due to practical internal workings such as handles to hold onto!

Pretty straightforward, just guess the age of the person in the picture, NOT as easy as it looks, out of about 30, I only got 2 smack on target & LOADS of them MILES off.
It goes on for a bit,

Just a thought, he's taken a lot of knocks around here but is just doing what my mates did at his age, two of whom now have careers in television that pay the bills
Conrad Green and Finn McGough (Roger McGough's son)
(, Sat 24 Jan 2009, 11:24, Reply)
but a lot of his work is very self-indulgent and unresponsive to criticism, constructive or destructive, a la "welcome to my workings feel free to critically analyse because it makes no difference I still think I'm amazing". What is the difference between him and Rizzivision?
Two of your friends or two of his?
EDIT: Just realised you mean two of your friends. Did they respond to criticism or were they fortunate enough to be witty/interesting in the first place?
It sounds harsh but the amount of talent that they had was either the result of being brought up with it (McGough Jr) or by hard work (Mr Green seems to have been working hard at this and has), or even both as the case may be.
The point I am putting forward is that JacobDyer may well have talent somewhere, but unless I'm mistaken this person seems to be a far cry from your friends in terms of effort put in, receptiveness to critique and general demeanor as to the content and execution of his works, which I lay the blame partly at Youtube for.
(, Sat 24 Jan 2009, 11:34, Reply)
we're a bit older at 37 :)
As for Jacob, I don't particularly like his stuff; it's without doubt ego driven to an extreme, but that's like how teenagers are, full of the quite blatant self-indulgent, "look at me" factor, which is why they come across as being so ridiculous to the rest of us who come out the other side of being one. He'll learn to take on board criticism or he'll have no career ahead of him, it's just part of growing up. I'm sure we all were the same at that age, so i'll forgive him on that front. It's not as if i've ever seen the guy post a video containing malice, hatred, or anger to be honest; just him and his mates having fun :)
EDIT: We, of course, didn't have the internet in the eighties to post the crap we were playing around with
(, Sat 24 Jan 2009, 11:43, Reply)
A combination of his age, his (understandably) like-minded peers and the availability of Youtube could be contributing factors. If he wishes to follow in your friends' footsteps, godspeed to the man and I hope his learning curve will be good to him.
Admittedly, it was me who brought this latest creation to /link/'s attention and not Jacob himself. In realisation this could be interpreted as Jacob no longer doing the shameless self-promoting that I criticised him for, which introduces me to this very tasty slice of humble pie

I find his work self indulgent and self-obsessed (I mean, calling yourself jacobdyerMEDIA because you have a youtube account is pretty pretentious).
Most of his work is nothing more than youtube blogging. He seems obsessed with making himself an internet celebrity (he even puts his own name in the middle of this vid, which is a rare attempt to actually make something creative rather than just blog to camera).
His main contribution to b3ta seems to be to occasionally post his childish improvisations to camera on this and a billion other sites, before fucking off again (which is at least a blessing)
Also, he has a face I would like to punch.
