I always thought about trying to make something else with all the pieces but some guy named Miguel Rivera has already taken the idea to a whole new level of awesomeness. Rivera managed to build a motorcycle, [...]]]> http://www.toddham.com/2009/12/10/hard-drive-sculptures/ Director Federico Alvarez just secured a $30m deal to develop a feature film based on his short “Panic Attack.” Alvarez runs a visual effects house in Uruguay and created the short with a mere $500 and some spare time.

I really felt the last version was outdated and unorganized. This time around I created a nice landing page to put emphasis on some of my recent work and an overview of my skills and services. From a development standpoint I really wanted to make use of a [...]]]> http://www.toddham.com/2009/12/01/relaunch/ Coming up with Halloween costumes every year is one of my favorite things to do. So when I saw this handmade Big Daddy costume my mind was totally blown. For those of you who don’t play video games, the Big Daddy character is from the XBOX 360 game Bioshock.

One thing that’s super cool is the keyboard controls Justin included. Simply hitting the J or K key moves you through each post, a feature I [...]]]> http://www.toddham.com/2009/07/09/question-suggestions/ I’m very excited to introduce our new website ShirtsTasteGood.com.

I’ve had my eye on the 2001 A Space Odyssey icons for awhile and finally got a chance to put this new theme together. Most of the other 2001 wallpapers out there have HAL in the center so I figured I’d show Dave some love on this one.
