As far as I know, the "I blame Keith" thing has always been an MxO inside joke. Then again, I've thought that a lot of Internet memes were local to the MxO community, like the whole Mudkipz thing.

I am the Archivist.

I do have, y'know, a web site called "The MxO Archive" I'd be willing to take any content people send my way for archival. I'll also do my best to save as much as possible, with what little time I have these days.

Speed Racer?

From what I understand, they're trying a radical camera technique that involves keeping most or all of the fields of view in each shot in focus, which is normally not practical with a film camera. They're trying to emulate the crisp everyt...
