Three Dead Trolls' Anti-Corporate Internet Multimedia Happy Lucky Fun Page!!!!

---------- Some light reading... -------------
(you remember reading don't you? It was the New Media back in the old days... people thought it destroy our "oral" culture back then... Why, anyone could write any old idea down and someone else could read it! Children were scarred! Ideas ran free! It was a dark dark time. )
If I may rant a moment... bazillions of dollars are being spent on building the Internet's structure, but very little is being spent on actual content. This is why the internet is full of movie trailers and commercials. In the interests of populating this electronic wasteland with some REAL ART, we have started this page. We haven't figured out how to make any money off it yet, but thanks to Brainbuzz.com for ponying up the dough to get them made. Thanks to Apple for hosting my idisk which holds the actual movie files, and streams at a decent 50k/second most of the time.

Here are all our videos, mostly in quicktime.
Why quicktime?
Because it's the least evil compressed video format, that's why.

It's a fairly small (10 megish) video that will probably stream depending on Apple's web traffic. It was written, and edited for the web and compressed entirely on a mac by the way. Get one.
