Dan Walmsley

This is a shop window demo designed to run on the Commodore 64 and show off its cutting-edge features.

Try watching it by yourself, as I am doing, with the rain pounding the roof.

I’m not sure why, but It’s the creepiest thing ever.

Guy #1: I’d totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I’d hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Tomorrow night is a landmark in television, for that is when Planet Nerd Episode 3 goes to air. After a rollercoaster week which saw us become the #1 comedian on YouTube (take THAT kitten-that-almost-says-hello!), we return with our biggest show yet!

• Dan Walmsley reports pseudo-live from Steve Jobs’ keynote speech at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference
• Paul Verhoeven and Ben McKenzie investigate the brainy world of Zombies
• Simon Barber brings us the Weekly Whedon
• Musical parody heaven from Anyone for Tennis
• And so much more!

As usual, you can catch us at 10pm on Channel 31 Melbourne. If you miss that, we’re on again at 1am Saturday night

Kyle Purdy is a nerd among nerds. In the best possible way. I filmed an interview with him for Planet Nerd as he was about to make his way in to the keynote address as a VIP guest of Steve Jobs.

Update: We’re also the #5 most-viewed Channel on ALL OF YOUTUBE today. Craziness!

So, I’m the #1 viewed comedian on YouTube today (well, technically, Planet Nerd is). Which sketch was it, do you think? The hilarious iPhone sketch? Karin Muiznieks’ touching song that just does add up?

Nope. It’s a video of John Carmack talking about the next-generation ID graphics engine.

38,000 views and counting. Go Carmack! That guy is the biggest nerd ever.

So, two nights ago I participated in the Manhattan Monologue Slam. It’s a competition for aspiring comics and actors to strut their stuff… for up to 30 seconds. That’s right. This is one gig that doesn’t drag.

So, without further ado: 30 seconds of Concentrated Dan.

Aaron Lewis, Lawrence Leung, Matt Keneally and I wrote a (very) short film for the WotNext mobile film competition.
