¡Poorrr fiiiiiiiiiiiin me digno a hacer (intentar) un Stop Motion, otra vez! Hace como cuatro años que hice el primero y desde entonces no he tocado nada de vídeo.
No es gran cosa, lo sé, pero llevo toda la tarde con ello xDDD parece mentira, pero son más de 300 fotos. Luego, me he vuelto loca para encontrar un programa que pasase de GIF a AVI (bueno, he intentado mil cosas antes para nada) y así poder ponerle algo de música.
Sé que puedo hacerlo mejor, más original, con más cambios de música, etc, pero es lo que ha salido y es la idea que tenía en mente (más o menos), así que espero que guste esta chorrada ^^
Va dirigida a mi novio, obviamente xDD que nos gusta mucho ver www.cuantocabron.com y somos un poquitín frikis :3
Para ti :) ¡te quiero!
Upon hearing the news of Steve Jobs’ passing, a deep sense of loss swept over me. In that very moment I thought about the life that this great man lived, the many lives that he touched, and the world he shaped and helped to transform.

If you built a webpage, then you've built a webpage. You are completely invisible unless you make your visible. There is a ton of internet noise out there and it's your job to stand out from the crowd.
This is Richard N. Stephenson at sidewages.com.
[The following is a transcript of the introduction video.]
Now I am going to cover some of the myths of a website and why it's needed and all of that jizz-jazz. I will be doing these as vlogs and then leveraging it out into all kinds of different things.
So if I blank out, it's probably because I am trying to be safe. But all of this is setup nicely so I don't have to touch it. And I've done it before and it works out pretty nicely. Don't try this at home kids unless you're a trained professional or something like that.
I'm probably going to split this up over 10 different videos for whatever purpose so I will use this next part as the general intro.
Here are the Top 10 Myths of Having a Website in a Business, brought to you by sidewages.com and Richard Stephenson.
Okay, here we go:
MYTH # 1: IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
MYTH # 2: A WEBSITE IS ONLY A BUSINESS TOOL
MYTH # 3: DESIGN IS EVERYTHING
MYTH # 4: MORE VISITS = MORE SALES
MYTH # 5: WEBSITES ONLY NEED IMAGES & TEXT
MYTH # 6: JUST COPY YOUR COMPETITORS
MYTH # 7: WEBSITES SELL THEMSELVES

The Winter Garden Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 1634 Broadway in midtown-Manhattan.
It was built by William Kissam Vanderbilt in 1896 to the be the American Horse Exchange.
In 1911 the Shuberts leased the building and Architect William Albert Swasey redesigned the building as a theatre. It is the fourth New York City venue to be christened the Winter Garden, it opened on March 10, 1911 with the early Jerome Kern musical La Belle Paree.
It was completely remodeled in 1922 by Herbert J. Krapp. The large stage is wider than those in most Broadway houses, and the proscenium arch is relatively low. The building is situated uniquely on its lot, with the main entrance and marquee, located on Broadway, connected to the 1530-seat Seventh Avenue auditorium via a long hallway, and the rear wall of the stage abutting 50th Street.
The theatre's longest tenant was Cats, which opened on October 7, 1982 and ran 7,485 performances spanning nearly nineteen years. The auditorium had been gutted to accommodate the show's junkyard setting, and after its closing architect Francesca Russo supervised its restoration, returning it to its 1920s appearance.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Cats,'
Broadway's Longevity Champ, to Close
After almost 18 years, $380 million in sales and untold gallons of makeup, ''Cats,'' the longest-running production in Broadway history, will close on June 25.
The musical, at the Winter Garden Theater, will end its run after 7,397 performances, a streak that began while much of the show's current cast was in grade school.
The closing, which has been rumored for several months, was confirmed yesterday.
An audience pleaser with seemingly endless appeal for children and tourists, ''Cats'' will have been seen by more than 10 million people in New York by the time its final curtain falls. Since opening in 1982 it often ranked near the top shows on Broadway in gross sales. It outlasted hundreds of other musicals, and will have come close to outlasting three presidential administrations.
In recent years, however, the well of audiences has slowly run dry, leaving the theater half full on some nights, with the show's producers taking losses during the winter with hopes of making a profit during the tourist-packed summers.
Reached in London yesterday, Lord Lloyd Webber said the closing was bittersweet. ''Obviously, I am sad that 'Cats' has to close on Broadway at the end of June, but it is also a day of great celebration,'' he said. ''Eighteen is a great age for a cat.''
In the end, ''Cats'' may have been simply done in by its own success. The musical has been produced in 30 countries worldwide and seen by an estimated 50 million people, or roughly the population of California and New York combined.
Financially, ''Cats'' ranks as one of the most successful musical of all time, churning millions into the pockets of its investors and making international stars and multimillionaires out of Lord Lloyd Webber and the show's lead producer, Sir Cameron Mackintosh. It also acted as an economic engine for the city of New York; a 1997 study by Audience Research and Analysis said ''Cats'' had contributed more than $3.12 billion to the city's economy and more than $195 million in state and local taxes.
But more than a financial juggernaut, ''Cats'' fundamentally reshaped the Broadway landscape by ushering in the era of the megamusicals: big, flashy spectacles that required little theatrical sophistication or knowledge of the English language to appreciate. As such, ''Cats''' proved that tourist audiences could drive a show's sales. Tourists filled the Winter Garden long after ''Cats'' had become passe among New York theatergoers.
But ''Cats,'' with its lavish design and elaborate special effects, also whetted audiences' appetites for increasingly complex stagecraft. Soon Broadway was witness to all variety of expensive stage magic, from falling chandeliers (in Lord Lloyd Webber's 1988 musical, ''The Phantom of the Opera'') to helicopters landing onstage (in Sir Cameron's 1991 production, ''Miss Saigon'') to the foundering of the Titanic (in the 1997 musical of the same name).
While visually arresting, these effects raised the cost of producing musicals, making producers' prospect of turning a profit -- always slim -- even more forbidding. Higher production costs led to higher ticket prices.
As the run of ''Cats'' continued, the musical also became a cultural touchstone, becoming synonymous with longevity -- and, eventually, longueur -- in comedians' routines and among theater gossips. Even its advertising slogan, ''Now and Forever,'' suggested a certain eerie, inevitable immortality.
And in an industry populated by old-time showmen, ''Cats'' also made its mark in marketing, adopting a text-free and thus internationally recognizable logo. The production also saturated the airwaves with television commercials and made its posters a permanent fixture in New York City subway stations.
It prompted a cottage industry in show-related trivia. More than 1.8 million pounds of dry ice have been used during the show's run to create fog onstage. The sheer poundage of yak hair used for wigs, 3,247 pounds during the run, outweighs a Volkswagen Beetle. One of the musical's most popular songs, ''Memory,'' has been recorded 180 times by different artists around the world. ''Cats'' has employed 284 actors, 19 of whom have died. One, Marlene Danielle, has been with the show since the beginning of its Broadway run.
''Cats'' opened in New York on Oct. 7, 1982, after months of pre-show hype and a sold-old run in the West End of London. (The London production is still running; ''Cats'' is now the longest-running show in the history of the British theater.)
Based on ''Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats,'' a slim volume of poems by T. S. Eliot, ''Cats'' follows the tale of a group of alley cats, one of whom, Grizabella, ascends to kitty heaven, known as the heaviside layer, by show's end.
But story was really never the appeal of ''Cats.'' The musical, with a catchy, melodic pop score by Lord Lloyd Webber, had no book and little plot.
Instead, the production's focus was on theatrical spectacle. The actors, directed by Trevor Nunn, are outfitted in feline body suits, foot-long whiskers and swirling face makeup and prowl the theater's aisles, stealing popcorn from children's hands and purring into people's faces. Aiding the illusion is a series of ingenious effects by the designer John Napier, who transformed the interior of the Winter Garden into a overrun junkyard seen from a cat's-eye perspective. At the musical's finale, a giant hydraulically powered tire lifts Grizabella into the sky.
Frank Rich wrote in The New York Times: ''Whatever the other failings and excesses, even banalities, of 'Cats,' it believes in purely theatrical magic, and on that faith it unquestionably delivers.'' He also predicted that ''Cats'' was ''likely to lurk around Broadway for a long time.''
His words proved prophetic. ''Cats'' won seven Tony Awards in 1983, including best musical, and in June 1997 it surpassed ''A Chorus Line'' as the longest-running production in Broadway history. The occasion was celebrated with a reunion of former cast members and a block party in front of the Winter Garden.

This was on the back of this 1913 picture of my grandfather. Unfortunately, while several people in my family speak Greek, none of them can read it. I'm posting this here hoping to get a translation. See also here. If anyone reading this can translate it, please let me know!
Update: yanni writes:
I don't think this is your papou writing, when he's a baby on the picture.
It is "like if" your papou (Georgios K. Kardakis) is writing this but it's definately another person (his mother?).
On the picture, around his head, you can read "Christos Anesti"..a greeting the Greeks use during Easter.
You probably know that Greeks celebrated their namedays sometimes more than their birthdays. In the first lines the text is a greeting and a wish for your papou's dad (your grand-grandfather) nameday. "For the purpose of your nameday, I wish you, my daddy, many happy years."
(During Easter, the names "Paskalis, Lambros, Anestis, Anastasios and Georgios" are celebrated).
Then the text goes on like: "I, your son Georgios K. Kardakis, kiss your right hand. My daddy, who you are not in Greece and left me as a small child. Now when you'll come back, you'll find a young man."
In the middle upper square: "Come back, my dad".
On the right there is a nice poem, they probably said for those who left Greece. I try to pass the meaning through as good as I can: "My beautiful swallows and doves...if you find my daddy, tell him a few words...tell him that I am handsome, tell him that I grew up...tell him that I'm not used to the trouble he left me."
I couldn't make out all of the words, but the meaning was more or less this. I hope it was helpful.
I'm very indebted to yanni for his translation. It appears that my great-grandfather came over a few years before my great-grandmother and grandfather; I had not known that before. I guess also he originally planned to go back to Greece; that didn't end up happening (my grandfather never went back after he came here at the age of 6).
Please feel free to comment if you have corrections, additions, etc.
