== Benjamin Mills ==<br />Benjamin C. Mills (Born in Phoenix, Arizona on June 30, 1991, is the writer of the RoMan Saga, co-writer of the short lived MS Painters, and Director/Writer of the soon to air, youtube based talk show The Yesterday Show.<br />
<br />== Early Life ==<br /> Benjamin (called "Ben" by his friends) was born with his tongue attached to the bottom of his mouth, and his ears full of a liquid that prevented him from hearing. Because his parents did not know for many years (his ears were drain upon discovery of his condition at 4 years old, his tongue clipped at the bottom around the age of 7), he failed to develop proper social skills because of his inability to hear or pronounce words properly. As a result his early years we awkward because of his verbal handicap (although he was later tested to be verbally gifted by a school teacher).Through his life this came back to haunt him as teachers exploited his old handicaps to frame him punishment (his teachers often saw it as payback for his rudeness, not connecting his past handicap to his unsocial attitudes).<br />
<br />== RoMan Saga ==<br />At an early age Ben found an interest in science fiction and fantasy, because of his father being a fan of both Star Trek and Dungeons and Dragons. Throughout his middle school years he often started to write short stories, these stories later formed the basis for his later book,The RoMan Saga. The RoMan Saga (Ro- robot, Man- human), was based on the theme of humanities conversion to cybernetic implants, and the division between the species into two major groups; the RoMans, those who used numerous implants to improve their bodies and over all life. And the Naturalists, the counter movement which began as a group of religious fanatics opposed to implants, but as the stories progress they soon forget their religion and combat the RoMans in a battle to restore humanity as "it should be".<br />The book is set up in a series of short stories spanning from the near future to the far future were the Naturalist movement is wiped out, This is probably influenced from a book he read many times in his youthThe Worthing Saga by Orson Scott Card, which like his book, is also set up in a short story format, with the exception of the Worthing saga being one continuous story when the RoMan Saga is not. His book is being debated on being published by a number of small publishing agencies, while in the mean time he gives out free copies to anyone who asks to try and spread support of his novel.<br />

<br />== MS Painters ==<br />Benjamin, after pairing up with a friend, agreed to co-write the short comedy/satire MS Painters, a short flip book style cartoon where all the animation is made with windows paint (MS, pertaining to "microsoft", and painters, meaning they us paint for their animations). The team began the cartoons as a joke, Ben stating that "animation has gotten so cheap these days, I bet we could do it cheaper!". The episodes were made by making anywhere from 70-150 pictures in MS Paint (usually done switching off and in one sitting), and making a slide show to create a digital flip book style cartoon. The team planned on putting in voice overs for their characters, but stated that "it would add to much quality to the cartoons, and thats not what we are aiming for."<br />The series was not well received on popular video hosting sites due to its "crude" humor, and lack of sound, as well as other mixed reasons. The series lasted for 9 episodes, with episode run times ranging from 2 minutes to 8 minutes.<br />

<br />== Yesterday Show ==<br />Recently Ben has began writing scripts for a YouTube based talk show, which claims to be along the same lines as The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Together with his cast, he plans on making it as controversial as possible, stating that social taboo's present in the American news media will be broken, one of the examples given was the possibility of a "Mohammad Watch", and dressing one of the news anchors as a stereo type of "Satan". Recent statements say that the pilot will be shot and posted on YouTube in late October/November.
