Pico Day and Other News

Posted by swiftstylerX - May 4th, 2008


Hey there everyone! I can finally make another front page news post after 2 weeks, and I've got a bunch of information to spew at you.

First off, Pico Day. What an AWESOME day. Pico Day has got to be my most favourite day of the year, which is extremely nerdy, but I really don't care. I love it. I submitted my Apology video, which I had promised to a few people I knew. I know it's not a real flash, and basically just crappy drawings every few seconds, but it DOES list some cool things that will be featured in next years "Finale: Pathway Through Newgrounds".

But anyways, here it is, don't expect anything great, or even good, really: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/

So lately I've been teaching my computer class how to use flash. The first day was probably the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. None of them had even seen the program, other than my one friend who I taught a few things months beforehand. They were asking questions literally every 10 seconds.

I would have 3 people with their hands up, asking for help, shouting my name, and being possibly the most annoying thing I've ever seen, all while I was ALREADY helping someone else. I was nearly RUNNING to these kids to help them out, because it was the only way I wouldn't be backed up and have a huge line of people to help.

Things are going much better now though. They're beginning to be used to the program, and aren't asking questions as often as they used to. I still get questions every minute or so, but at least it's not every 10 seconds. My teacher can't thank me enough, haha, she doesn't really know much about the program. Luckily she had such an "expert" as myself to help out.

I didn't even have to do the last project they've been working on for the past week, because I've been helping everyone. So I still get full marks, which is awesome. My name was also put into a draw 4 times now to win a mini-fridge(which would go great with the new computer I'm getting), for helping out (you have to do something nice, and then get a slip signed by a teacher to be put into the draw).

But all of this teaching flash has really drawn a lot of inspiration for me to work on more flash outside of school. Right now, I have to make a short animation for school, and then afterwards I'll finally start making new flash for Newgrounds. I'm really excited about this. =D

I'll try and crank out one or two shorts before the summer starts, and then begin work on contest entries. And by contest entries, I mean next years Pico Day and next years Madness Day. Hopefully I'll have my new computer some time soon, so work will be faster (WAY better computer).

All of those promises in my Pico Day Apology video WILL come true, by the way. That wasn't just spit balling random stuff at you, it's all true.

Congrats to all of the winners of Pico Day! I haven't gotten to watch them ALL yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I'll talk to you guys again in two weeks, I guess.
