Does anyone know if Brian is still making the buttons for the Empeg?? I've emailed him... and 6 months later (or so) I got a generic response...

I just don't know if I should send him another email or what?? I'd just like to order a set of the buttons (transluscent white) - no LED's - I'm already set there...

Any thoughts?? Does he read this site??

I'm slowly getting through the emails. As for non standard colors, I couldn't say when I'll get to that. If I have some time waiting for LEDs to come in I may do a few of those. If you want some special color buttons email to buttons@hulktronics.com then wait and see if anything happens.

Avitar?! Haha, I guess I've gone soft in considering the pics "BBS Buddy icons." Maybe I should make mine super tough like any good Avitar (as I think back to Ultima VII) instead of my crappy Flash 4 rendition of me. Hahah.

I don't think it's crappy, I think it's cool. Got links to any funny flash movies featuring the character?

Tony: You axe for it, you got it. This is the only flash animation which includes my character. It was my first attempt at Flash animation from back in 2000. It took me 32 hours to make this 32 second animation. Well, that time included learning Flash from scratch, learning animation from scratch, and drawing everything in there by hand, AND hacking the "phat remix soundtrack!"

This is the official intro of the (non-existant) public transportation rap group Metro which consisted of me and some of my boyz from college. Yes, we're "public transportation" rappers because the clan was inspired by a passing Metro bus in lovely Bethlehem, PA. After that point, we all donned public transportation names that represented us in some way (even mine, Traffik Jamm, which is props to the gridlocked state of NJ). I was going to make an entire site in Flash dedicated to our clan, but it never panned out.

So, without further adeu, enjoy my one and only Flash masterpiece. Oh, and dig the soundtrack which I hacked from some clips I found on line. Manually placing beats on a waveform timeline is a tough alternative to having a drum machine. I've gotten a lot better for my more recent 74 minute dance mixes... well, not that much more advanced. That's a different story.

Oh, and don't forget to zoom in on the final scene and look for easter egg details, even at the smallest level. Like, the logo on my old grey Ford Escort.

Ok, here's the Offical Metro Demo
