Good thing Big Brother Facebook was there to remind me, or I might not have known that today Elias adds another year to his tick count!

Happy Birthday Elias!!!

EDIT
Elias, I'm looking at an old forum thread (https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/611987) and it mentions an article you wrote (http://allefant.com/articles/vsync/). Is that still available anywhere?

Thanks! Haha, very fitting picture... I actually bought this as a birthday present for myself: {"name":"610581","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/2\/42f93272c93c2bc180cb0f63fa6eee6b.jpg","w":4000,"h":2992,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/2\/42f93272c93c2bc180cb0f63fa6eee6b"}610581

It's a Belgium beer with pink elephants on the bottle, which I liked to drink back home and re-discovered at a local store here :)

About that article, it lives at http://allefant.com/vsync now it seems. Somehow when I removed WordPress I must have lost the middle part of URLs.

Heppy Birthday!

Hey! You took my pattern! (don't ask how the hell I originally created that typo... though)

Febreze (and other air fresheners actually) is just below perfumes/colognes, and that's just below dead skunks in terms of smells that offend my nose.

Yeah, that scene is amazing! And quite apparently in the 1940s they must have had better drugs than just beer :P

I've always found those old animations random. If anything, I'd say that the artists didn't have much of a plan and "freestyled" it. What came out was chaos. It's curious to question what came first: the music or the animation. In any case, I find those kinds of absurd, meaningless animations disinteresting.

It seems pretty clear that the animation is modeled after the music. I'd say those guys were true artists. They actually had imagination and talent. It's rare to see animations as great as that anymore.

EDIT
Give those guys modern animation tools and I bet they would come up with something amazing.
