Panda head test pattern, in standard definition

As a child, did you wake up on Saturday mornings watching a Panda Head test pattern smiling at you before the TV channel signed on for cartoons? Probably if you lived in Pandapolis.

This section is always on the air. It has animated movies, MP3 music files, slideshows and other media creations I have made in the past five years. They are all downloads rather than streamed files, so you may need to wait for some of them to start, especially if you have a dial-up connection.

But it's worth the wait, even on dial-up. It sure beats watching this Panda Head test pattern, or the infamous Indian Head one it parodies.
