Using just those ingredients, Erik builds a life size stunt dummy. (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
MYSPACE DELETED MY ACCOUNT
It’s true. DAMN YOU MYSPACE GODS!!! But seriously. Even though I barely used my myspace account anyways (since facebook lured me away) I can’t help but feel violated. You really start to feel like this chunk of digital real estate belongs to you, but apparently we are all just renting. And if you happen to live in the myspace projects, just know your landlord is a real jerk....
