This looks like a very cool way to get around school firewalls...except I keep getting an Error on Page message when I go to Sketchpad, any suggestions?

No suggestions but you are getting further than I did. When I reach this site, it appears to load but does not respond to any command I try. I suspect there are indeed firewall issues here; not an uncommon complication. There is a signup button on the bottom of the Sketchpad page, after it loads. Using that takes you to Mugtug. That site is under construction but you can get Colorjack which is a fully functional color wheel which can create an almost endless combination hue, saturation and balance combinations. Not sure how any of this can really be used but awareness is the first step toward that.

A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything The following video was made by Jamie Bell, a student, who shared it on YouTube - and writes "This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It's something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I'd say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks." He also adds: "UPDATE: It (the final piece) got full marks! YAY :D" Well done Jamie! [Via Geeks are Sexy]
