Philip - Unfortunately, due to incessant spam, I've had to close the chatbox. No new messages can be posted. 351 Philip - I hope you're watching Heroes! 250 Jessica - Hello. Just checking in on your "blog" I'm bored and waiting for prime time tv to start. 249 Philip - Damn, he beat me to the punch. My Grandpa's Aces video only has a few thousand views, and YouTube doesn't even pay me! 248 James - http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/15/technology/15video.html?_r=1&oref=slogin 247 Philip - I'm trying to make mittens, actually. They are really hard to make the right size... 246 um - how are the chrocheted pants and shirts going? 245 Philip - You are just changing the subject to hide the fact that you have NO IDEA how to solve my riddle. 244 Casey - Nice Hat Grandma 243 Philip - Tell James that he doesn't have to go around telling OLD riddles. I've got more ;-) 242 Philip - You have 50 coins that add up to $1. Oops, you drop one on the ground. What's the probability that you dropped a penny? 241 Arun - Philip, how you doing bud. I think there's something you should know, James has taken to re-telling your riddles throughout the office w/o your credit 238 Philip - Something about how the oatmeal raisin cookies are in the mail and I should expect them in a few days? 237 Maggie - now that the boycott has ended I can't think of anything to say . . . 236 Maggie - hum . . .. 235 James - Stop posting under my name Philip. We don't bow to you. 226 Philip - Update ---> 225 Philip - Julian Beever is awesome, but no, I wasn't trying to do that. If you go to the tutorial you'll see what I was trying to do. 224 Philip - I vaguely kept in contact with Josh. We emailed each other once or twice, but that's it. I think he's looking to get into journalism. 223 Vinochug - I bow to Philip. 222 someone - I bow to Philip. 221 James - I bow to Philip. 220 Philip - If I'm going to be a dictator, I might as well act like one. BOW TO ME! 219 Vinochug - Yo Phil, I think this is something like what you were going for originally with the cat? http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/pave.htm 218 someone - You run this message board like a really boring dictator. How about some new updates to make life int he cublicle more interesting!?! 217 James - You run this message board like a dictator. Stop editing my responses. 1 min 50 sec...IMPRESSIVE! Have you kept in contact with Josh? 216 Philip - But it was fun while it lasted, and everyone should learn to do it at some point in their life! 214 Philip - Oh, and I'm bored of the Rubik's cube now lol, so I prolly won't get any better than my 1:50 personal best. 213 Philip - Also, I bet Chinovinochug will appreciate Catshop, so pass it along =) 212 Philip - Hopefully, I'll give you an update on my life in around a month or so. Send me an email so I have your email address. 211 Philip - Hey, James! Remember when I promised to solve it in under 5 minutes by the time you got back? Psh. I'm under 2 minutes now. 210 James - Philip, hey man...whats going on? Hope all is well, please update us fans of your site an update on your life. How fast can u complete the cube now? 208 a person - You know what woule be cool? Kiwi art! cause everything is better when it's bright green and fuzzzy. 206 me - And! with dialogue so stunted that it made the new Star Wars sound good! 194 me - Longer+ stupider than Pie, with too much Rachel Weisz. The two themes were: isn't my wife beatufiul and aren't I really profound? uff! 193 Philip - Although, I am a huge fan of depressing movies lol! 191 Philip - Hmm, heavier than Requiem and Pi, but not as depressing. That's the review on IMDB. I might have to think about seeing it. 190 me - If you really like video game music (and I know you do) go see the 'Fountain'. It's boring, pretencious, but the music is a lot like Fantasy 4 music. 189 um - Why don't you ever delete anything posted with the name "um?" Not that I'm complaining. -DM 178 Casey - go see blood diamond... it's amazing! 177 Philip - All right, people, hold your horses! The site has been updated! Everyone start going wild with Christmas music, k? 176 um - I KNOW RIGHT. 174 Casey - Update your site 173 Philip - The score, I believe, is +32 in my favor. 140 Casey - Phil has never once lost to me at Jippii 139 Casey - I'm bored 138 Casey - Nope, I RULE!!!! 137 Philip - It's supposed to be a long string. It's a BLOG for crying out loud. Oohhh. Casey just got OUT-ARGUED. Oh baby! 123 Casey - reorganize your site... it's just one long string 122 Casey - I'm offended by th ematerial on this website 121 Arianna - Don't believe Phil's lies. I am the Connect 4 Master! 120 um - brocoum.com isn't working... 119 Philip - Arianna 1, Philip 4 (Connect 4 Score) 118 Casey - Happy Birthday #1! 115 JonStewart - Hey Phil, nice site you've got here. I hear you enjoy my show; keep watching, your support is keeping us afloat. 99 Casey - Boring... 89 Anon - You got a good voice but not a great voice... Not bad though 88 Arianna - I am the master of Reversi 87 Philip - Oh, and for all you other visitors, the Barbara who just posted below me is THE Barbara from the gallery. 86 Philip - A site is only as awesome as the people who visit it ;-) 85 Barbara - See, it is true. I was here. This is awesome! 84 Casey - Hey phil! Check out this sweet site: http://kr.image.yahoo.com/GALLERY/read.html?img_filename=44505eb360b6 83 Philip - If Casey isn't original within three seconds, he DOES NOT RULE. 82 Casey - If phil doesnt respond by 8/24 then he admits that CASEY RULES 81 Philip - This is a test to see how often Casey checks my website. CASEY DOESN'T RULE. If Casey does not refute this by 8/24/06 then it must be true. 80 Casey - \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 79 Casey - I sent him this video --> 78 Philip - Not anymore, so HA. 69 Arianna - I'm in the Caribbean, so HA. 68 Philip - Oh, and thank you Dilanyan. I think you are the first non real life friend of mine to post on my site! 67 Philip - Then why did I just CRUSH you? 66 Casey - I am officially better than Phil at starcraft. 65 Jessica - Compared to my current ability to design a website, I think its pretty good! 64 Farhi - The most important thing to understand is that it's a RIGHT-handed coordinate system. 63 Philip - Lol, is that you, Ross? 62 Farhi - Cocaine's a helluva drug. 61 Farhi - Dude, this website sucks. I don't know what the hell Jessica is talking about. 60 Farhi - And the TTTTension in the string... 59 Philip - Yeah, I programmed everything in PHP. I made it my summer goal to learn a web programming language. 58 Jessica - This is a very developed website. I like the archiving of your photos with the descriptions, very cute. Also nice to see who is who. 57 Nate - I love the Chatbox feature. Did you progam it yourself? 56 Dilanyan - Nice site Philip 55 Casey - philipbrocoum: STOLE YOUR THUNDER 53 Philip - Okay, folks! The pictures page is online. 52 Casey - Booooring 51 Casey - make me level 2 and i'll think about it 50 Philip - And then video conference me hehe. 48 Philip - Casey, get a webcam, point it at your TV, and put on Scrubs. NOW. 47 Arianna - Well it's about time he found out about Scrubs! It's a great show! 45 Casey - I sent him back. I also introduced him to Scrubs, which he is now addicted to. 44 Arianna - Casey, have you taken Philip hostage? I demand that you send him back to New York now! 43 Arianna - Lemme guess- Starcraft? :) 42 Casey - Phil and I are going to do something COOL today! 41 Arianna - I made chocolate chip cookies the other day.

I hope you boys are staying out of trouble! 37 Casey - Hi Arianna whats up 36 Casey - I suggest you make me level 2, because while my futon is soft, sleeping outside is sweaty and nasty and you'll get mugged..muauahahhahaha 35 Arianna - The tree on the bottom of your screen :) Haven't seen the balls in a while. 34 Philip - Who's got what tree? 32 Arianna - Now we've got a tree! 31 Arianna - Bye bye balls! Hello birdie. 30 Arianna - It's lookin' great Phil! 29 Philip - The music section is up! Only one more section to go before my site is live! 28 Arianna - And I have no air conditioner! Screw Living! 27 Philip - It's 93 flipping degrees outside. Screw running. 26 Maggie - And in Chicago a new law makes cabbies "dress better". hehe 25 Maggie - Speaking of dumb encouragement ideas: there was a proposal in Australia to make drivers with a lerner's permit wear helmets while driving. 24 Philip - And he wasn't too great at offering encouragement either! (Haven't made my math website yet, but I'm "looking forward" to it.) 23 Maggie - hey, rember when you were doing back handsprings and the athletic instructor came in to see why you were hurting yourself so badly on purpose. hahahah 22 Maggie - You made math video AND a math website, and you still claim that doing back-handsprings was the most painful thing you've ever donw? hum . . . 21 Philip - Because both you and Ari are lvl3 members. Sorry, you've been demoted :-> 20 Casey - Why are you my blue color?? 19 Casey - Pizzo is from brooklyn, not Italy. :-P 18 Arianna - puny pizzo pimps pizza in pisa 17 Arianna - Thank you for making that clear Casey.

Not that i'm not going to say that I was never not scared of any city ever 10 Arianna - I HEAR Pizzo is doing well. I now take a different route! 9 Casey - By the way Arianna, how is that crazy guy who gave us the strange hand motion? 8 Arianna - Well I actually saw Keanu Reeves the other day. He looked like a pretty normal guy (with facial hair). 7 Philip - And what are you doing browsing my site before it's fully ready!? Well, you can be a beta tester =P 5 Philip - Ha ha =) The silhouette at the bottom randomly changes. If you have any good silhouette pictures send them to me. 4 maggie - oh no! now the duck has turned into an ugly spider! 3 maggie - Glad to see that a nice line of ducks is one of the first thing you aded to your new site! 2 Philip - You just saw Keanu Reeves and amazingly he carries the rotoscoping effect with him in real life. Chat us up about it here in the chat box! 1

This video was shot in 1986 (and a few years following) on my uncle's video camera. I was 4 years old at the time. I must say, I never used to want kids, but this video changed my mind now that I see what a cute kid I was =P My favorite part of the video is where my uncle is talking about how he threw a lawn dart into the back of my dad's neck! |

Since I was in New York and the rest of my family was in Las Vegas, we had a "Video Conference Christmas" over iChat. It worked rather well. However, unless you are a Brocoum, you probably have no interest in watching two hours of the Brocoum Family. It's rather boring, haha. |

| Back Handsprings |
| |
4 |
|
This video is my CollegeHumor.com claim to fame. It's a quick summary of an hour I spent in the MIT wrestling room in 2005 while I attempted to teach myself how to do back handsprings. It was possibly the most fun I've ever had. And the most pain I've ever indured. But, there is a lesson to be learnt! Do you believe in genetic "talent" and that people are just born with amazing abilities? HA! Hard work is the only thing that counts in this life. |

| Butterfly |

I was in Washington Square Park with Arianna and this butterfly kept landing on me! I thought, "Man, I wish I had my camera," so I actually ran back home, got my camera, and ran back to the park...and the butterfly came back! So I got a wonderful video of him/her (how do you tell butterfly gender?) |

It's that time of year; time to brush up on your Christmas songs! This is a nice little hymn on the piano written by Jon Schmidt. He's a new age pianist and he's actually really good, so you should go check out his website. |

|
Ah, I miss those days where I would slave for hours over a painfully difficult sleight. This video was filmed in MIT's Baker House and was my first attempt at musical choreography with my magic. 'Course, I just stole Copperfield's routine. Made it easier. Grandpa's Aces is a famous trick by the FAMOUS Chris Kenner. This is my reverse-engineered rendition. Hope you like it =) |

This can be thought of as the sequel to the back handspring video. I try my hand at front flips, aerials, back flips, and front handsprings. The other guy in the video is my good friend Behram Mistree. Actually, he's the coolest one of my friends, by far. Why? Because he's the only one who was willing to come and do some gymnastics with me. Unfortunately, I no longer have the footage of Behram's attempts. Sorry, Behram =( |

I put Linux on my 2gb iPod Nano and now it plays videos! So, instead of listening to music on the subway on the way to work, I now get to watch South Park, and I didn't even have to shell out money for a new iPod Video. |

Back in the days of lore when Kris Keltner (f1ce, mogu pogo) and I (Stedwick) were computer gaming legends, Kris was slightly more of a god than I was, at least as far as Quake 2 was concerned...but I ruled the world of Ultima Online! Here is a video documenting Kris and his team as they travelled to QuakeCon 2002. |

PC Fleming is an old friend of mine from high school. He's been dancing for years and, quite frankly, he's really good at it. This is a video of him performing at a dance competition. In parts of the video you can see other couples on the dance floor; PC is competing against them. Should I ruin the ending? PC won of course =) |

| Rubik's Cube |

|
I've learned how to do the Rubik's cube using Matt's method. His method is very simple and requires almost no memorization. The Rubik's cube is really fun, so you should all go get one from Toys 'R Us for some holiday entertainment. Oh, and here you can watch the 2006 Rubik's Cube World Champion. He's insane. He does it in 12 seconds, and then does another cube blindfolded with one hand. |

I've spent months on and off over the last couple of years trying to learn this song. I've never taken piano lessons, so it was quite the challenge. It's a great song though, and it was well worth the effort. It was composed by Michael Nyman for the movie "The Piano". |

I made this video for my class at NYU. It teaches the mathematical definition of the slope of a line. It was fun to make, actually. Let's hear it for Keynote and Adobe whatever. Besides, I now have my Master's in Math Education so I'm a full-fledged teacher ready to shed my fledgling feathers and fledge myself into adult-teacher-hood. Now I gotta set up my math website... |

| Zanarkand |

|
This is me playing "To Zanarkand", by Nobuo Uematsu, from Final Fantasy X. Before you think, "Video game music? What a dope!" you should listen to it. Nobuo has become famous for his work on Final Fantasy, and just because he makes video game music rather than orchestral music doesn't make him any less of a composer. |
