I recently realized the blog was for fulfilling the Art Events Requirement, and it had to include 2 on-campus events from the visiting Mediamakers Series and/or Arts and Lectures at CSUSM and 8 entries including my encounters with art on the Internet. With that in mind, I thought I could talk about this once source of Internet entertainment: Homestar Runner. There was a lot I learned from getting this up as a Web site, and it came from the use of Dreamweaver. Created and run by Mike and Matt, the Bros. Chaps, this Web site used to get updated at least once every week. I'm into this Web site because it's not offensive, the humor is always clever, and 'crap' is the only bit of vulgarity used. The brothers are the only people to create the cartoons and Strong Bad E-mails (sbemails). They even provide the music, have no time for storyboarding, and are one of the biggest sources of pop culture. Matt is a man of more than a hundred voices (with a few exceptions, of course), and Missy, Mike's wife, provides the voice for Marzipan, "the only girl." Since November 2009, however, it's been on hiatus. My last visits were on April 1st and 26th, when "Xeriouxly Forxe" and its main page were put up, respectively.
