This site showcases the (mostly) digital work of Andrew DiFiore from both Virtual Arts Studios and answerYES Interactive as well as random thoughts and experimental projects too volatile to be contained anywhere else.

I’ve been saying this for years.
A great little video about the importance of learning how to code from code.org, featuring a host of heavy hitters such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Drew Houston, and will.i.am.
Hey kids, there is a shortage of talented programmers in the world, learn to code. By the time you reach puberty, you pretty much know you’re not going to be the next Meryl Streep or Michael Jordan but you can still be a programmer. Learn to code.

Late discovery of AWOLNATION and their song Sail thanks to the freaky lip-sync rendition by a bedraggled Shawna Howson (Nanalew) and Tessa Violet (MeekaKitty). Not exactly sure how I stumbled upon Nanalew’s YouTube channel but her videos are worth a peek.
Now I find Sail featured everywhere from The Good Wife promo to BASE Jumper Jeb Corliss’ “Grinding the Crack” wingsuit video. Not bad for the band’s first single but I suppose given the band’s frontman is Aaron Bruno (from Under the Influence of Giants), not too surprising.

This could be the anthem of any man whose ever been madly in love… and still is. Well done Tim.
From the first time I saw you
I knew that you’d be mine
And from the first glance you gave
My world it slowed, you stopped the time
And in that moment I could see all of the things that we would be
You were the girl I was waiting for, that I would ask to marry me
Like the beauty of the sun you light my life so I can see
You make me laugh and show me how, just how good this life can be
And in our moments filled with joy, is where I live, where I am free
Lay in my arms, I’ll hold you tight, just like you like, continually
And I am, overwhelmed, by you
Am, overcome with joy
You’ve, taken me higher, and shown me what love can do
Where would I go, or be, without you
There’s something in your smile that gives me strength to carry on
And there something in your words that lingers even when your gone
Oh I’ve dreamt, that a time like this would come, fulfill my life
Who could of known the one who’d bring it here would be my lovely wife
I could sing a thousand songs about you still that would not do
There’s a million tiny things that make the things that you do, you
I wouldn’t trade our time together, wouldn’t trade for anything
Cause nothing else here in the world can bring the happiness you bring
And I am, overwhelmed, by you
Am, over come with joy
You’ve, taken me higher, and shown me what love can do
Where would I go, or be, without you
