How it all began... My life on the web
For some reason this topic came to mind for a blog post, and after thinking it over it seemed like an outstanding idea. Today I will explain how my life on the web began, the full story.
I have not always been an animator, Blogger and expert in Flash MX; I began as just the slightest, slightest assistant on Ridikulund. Ridikulund was Lou's very first website, I myself am happy his talents have improved. Well anyway, it wasn't lou's Ridikulund that started it, it was Ridikulund's very first "cartoon". The cartoon was created on microsoft powerpoint and with all honesty it STUNK, it was really just a comic strip that showed parts in some order. Though the cartoon was disgraceful but it started me animating, in a way, with for my perposes the greatest program in the world, Microsoft Powerpoint.
After about a half a year with powerpoint I began to realize it just wasn't good enough for me, that was when lou started talking about this crazy program called Flash. After explaining details, Lou and I downloaded a free trial for flash. When all the downloads had completed I was very disapointed. Using powerpoint all my career I thought I could just say the words and it would animate, I was sadly mistaken. My first attempts using flash were nugatory, they all failed.
I later learned a bit more about the Flash element and began making pretty bad short toons, they still opened doors.
Still redownloading freetrials Lou began to make a fair cartoon with Sam. I asked Lou if I could help but he said I wasn't experienced enough so I decide I would make my own cartoon with Joe, that series became Albino Penguin.
After that the tamposi Bros. decided to establish TDN. And so my animation has progressed until present day, striking my intrests in Blogging and other web activities and so we are in the present day.

Yes, you have come a long way Mr. Poompa. You take to animation with a passion that infects your brothers as well. You have faced setbacks like your first submission to 'Newgrounds' and bounced back. You look to your friends for support but animate for you. That is why you do so well.
Ok, now I am going to sound like a fuddy-duddy adult but just think of me as fuddy-duddy unky-fy-fy: Once you were my blog friend Lou's little brother who popped up now and again. Nice but someone I didn't know. I first linked to your stuff because of Lou. I link to your stuff now because of you.
You make fun cartoons, and write well for someone your age. The more you animate and write in your blog the better you'll get. Simple as that.
When I showed 'Animated Soup' at work I asked "What will he be making when he's 16?" I don't know but it will be interesting to see. Keep up the good work!
(Lou and Joe: you have my permission to pour water on his head if this info swells his ego too much). :)

Ah, yes.
I remember the good ol' days when Ridikulund was still bringing you the finest junglock since 2002 and that Monkey City place was still the most useless page on the web.
Both you and your brother have come a long way, Jake, and I am glad to see you are finally getting the recognition you diserve. Snaps for Jake!
