Our Best Phone Message… Ever!
Its been 4 months since Cambrian House’s last blog post. 4 months since our community website was deprecated and for all public activities, Cambrian House went dark. Ah the peaceful crickets.
Of course CH has signed over a million dollars in Chaordix sales over that time and infused our coding team with some amazing new talent. (But that is incredibly boring and I only mention because still the meme in circulation is that we’re dead. Thank you TechCrunch… How your gift keeps on giving while we continue chugging away.)
I expect we lost our core audience for this blog. Hello out there? [”Hello… hello… echo…”] Well there’s nothing more freeing than a blog without an audience. You can pretty much post anything you want!
In the coming months, we’re going to be posting video on a regular basis. The subject matter will be quite different since we don’t have an IdeaWarz to cover… but we’ll worry about that when we relaunch the video blog. What I wanted to do with this video was experiment with a style I first saw used in Zero Punctuation.
F-Word Language Warning!
How much effort can it be to animate like that I wondered? Minus the cleverness and stick figures of course… I was curious about frantic pacing of the visuals. The angry-man phone call was a perfect excuse enough to find out, and I’m here to report its a bit time consuming but totally doable!
So when you’re watching a future Cambrian House video and your friend says, “Hey, they’re kinda stealing Zero Punctuation’s animation style!” you can just shake your head and correct your friend:
“They are totally stealing Zero Punctuation’s animation style.”

Classic!! Awesome to hear that you are going to keep posting videos, the Internet is pretty boring without you.

Wait wait wait. I don’t understand. Why are you still posting to your blog if you’re dead?
Doesn’t make sense!
j/k I miss your videos. They’ll be a welcome (re-)addition.

I miss this kind of stuff. I am glad to hear you guys are on the up swing. Keep up the good work.

That video was awesome, good work. Glad to see posting has returned!
(PS, your tabindex on the replies is flawed, when you tab from name to mail, it goes to the top of the screen..)

We’re working on verticals (ch-dot-com and VenCorps being 2 past examples) built on Chaordix. Until we have a shiny new launch complete with video blogging and detailed product offering, this’ll serve as sort of a dumping ground for experimental blog posts.
Thanks for the feedback guys we weren’t really expecting any response!

I nearly cried a little inside.
With amusement.
I asked;
‘Is this a REAL MESSAGE???’
Tevin said;
‘Yes it is! It was on our voicemail.’
