That’s right - us. Surprise. Colossal Squid is on Twitter. Follow our merry band here. We’re at times quite amusing, ridiculous and downright insightful.

Welcome and choose your weapon. We celebrated the end of our first holiday together with food, grog, some light coding, and some heavy armaments. Check out some of the pics on Facebook. We had wads of wasabi the size of baked potatoes.

Next year - ballroom dancing, some light fencing (and perhaps Kumdo.) Count on it.

The Squid partnered with some great people at Fallon Worldwide in launching the second of three physics-based games for their client Johnson Controls. All games require solving challenges with creative AND efficient solutions.

All games are powered by a robust physics engine providing real world physics challenges in a fast-loading and nimble Flash environment.

Game 1: Coconut Run - Johnson Controls makes car seats utilizing coconut fiber. This game puts the misunderstood coconut front and center. Need a primer? Check out YouTube for some grassroots demos.

Game 2: Particle Pro - Your mission is to carefully route this home’s air, water and electricity particles to corresponding receptors.

Game 3: coming soon.

Enjoy.

Hey!

We’ve been really super-busy and what with the election and snow (and the gosh darned holidays) we got a little side-tracked on updating our good old site here. We promise to do better in ‘09.

We’re looking forward to the new year. We hope you are too.

p.s. Received many inquiries about our holiday card. Here it is.
