Libertaria East Egg Hunt! Win Autographed Songbook and Digital Soundtrack!

Find Easter Eggs and win an Autographed Songbook and Digital Soundtrack! An Easter egg is an intentional inside joke , hidden message , or feature in a work such as a computer program , movie , book , or crossword . This practice is similar in some respects to hidden signature motifs such as Diego Rivera 's including himself in his murals , Alfred Hitchcock 's legendary cameo appearances (hint) , Fritz's appearances in the works of Chris van Allsburg , and various " Hidden Mickeys " that can be found throughout the various Disney Parks. - Wikipedia (of course) The rules are easy!  1. Watch Libertaria: The Virtual Opera 2. Jot down the time code for every film, book, art, music, or sci-fi reference that you can find (both in the visuals, lyrics and the music) with a short description.  Pris from Blade Runner makes an appearance at 24:16 in Libertaria.

College Stress: 3 Excuses You Never to Email Your Professor

Your professor was the kid in college that not only enjoyed learning about business or humanities or biology or computer science so much that s/he decided to spend the rest of their life

Holland Animation Film Festival Presents Libertaria: The Virtual Opera

Libertaria: The Virtual Opera - Holland Animation Film Festival - HAFF . Libertaria: The Virtual Opera will be shown March 20 and 21 at the Holland Animation Film Festival! Exciting Times! The City of Utrecht presents Utrecht as the international City of Music 2014. HAFF joins in with an international theme programme of music and animation. Animation and music have proven to be a fruitful combination. Their inspirational interplay produces a wealth of musical films and cinematic music. The theme runs like a thread through different festival sections. Plus, several programmes have been compiled presenting some far corners of the theme: from abstract visual music to cartoons, and from big themes in dramatic genres like opera and tango to contemporary music videos.  The term visual music is commonly used for abstract, rhythmical films that translate music into images or aim for a cinematic equivalent of music. This can even happen automatically. Conversely, images can b
