    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

Today's reason to wish I had animation skills... · 1:46pm May 19th, 2014

...is so that I could do a ponified version of the Quarry Cereal commercial from the good old days of SNL starring the Pie family.

I... don't know what that is.:twilightoops: Yeesh, people are pulling out all the stops to make me confused these days.

When were the good old days of SNL?

Back when it started and stuff? :pinkiehappy:

Well, the YouTube video got taken down by NBC, but I was able to find a transcript. It does seem very suitable for the Pie family.

So THAT'S what SNL stands for!:facehoof: Well, now I want this.:pinkiehappy:

I'm never too fond of all these ponified shot-by-shot remakes of existing things because why not make new things using ponies instead?

And I want a version of the Edge of Tomorrow trailer ponified as one for Hard Reset: the Movie. Heck, even the IMDB synopsis makes it sound like Hard Reset!

You're right. That would be perfect ponified trailer fodder!
