April 2006 Posts April 30, 2006  Weeeee a new Studio Ghibli anime based on Ursula K LeGuin's Tales of Earthsea. Yes, it's in Japanese but you can watch the trailer.
J is always asking whether or not the American public at large "gets" The Colbert Report, in that they understand that it is lampooning right wing America. I say no, and thus they asked Colbert to speak at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Guess who didn't get it?
April 27, 2006 With the connector connected to the connection on the TV, I am sure we could entertain ourselves all evening with TV in Japan.
This should push enough of the blog down the page in case I am still on a dry spell. It's 102 Movies You Must See Before... well, before your press the big red button on your desk of life. And below are mine, denoting which ones I have seen with a dash of elitism.
April 26, 2006 I used to doodle monsters and if I hadn't quit at 11 maybe I could have been good as the Creatures in my Head.
So, Paladium games is in trouble. For those not in the know, Paladium produces the Rifts table-top RPG as well as a few others. Their version of a superhero game was my favourite. I played Rifts during the days that there were about a dozen mainstream competitors to D&D and as a concept it was a lot of fun. It truly was a megaverse kinda game combining my favourite era of SciFi gaming (post apocalypto) with everything from elves to mutants to vampires. But the system kind of sucked and purchasing any new books meant seeing a ton of MS Word copy & pasted text filling half of the book, duplicating what you already read.
April 25, 2006 I am sure many people are coming up with their own cast for BrokeBack Mountain 2: The Fur Traders. *wink wink nod nod*
April 24, 2006 April 23, 2006 April 22, 2006 Now that I don't make as many mixCDs or create covers to be inset into jewel cases, I didn't know what to do with the crate of em I have. Now I can do DIY Jewel Case Photo Frames. Not that I have hung the other dozen frames I already have.
April 21, 2006 Fabien Barral, who still does some of my favourite grunge-y dezine, has a brilliant list of inspirational links.
When I see this allegation that Bill Swanson is a plagiarist (Swanson is a big time boss type who wrote down his tricks at management and is peddling them as a book) it just makes me think about how people really need to realize how the Internet works. If you try and pull the wool over someone's eyes, you will get caught by someone with too much knowledge or time on their hands.
When one is considering updating the design as well as some of the implementation elements, that may involve editing the hundreds of already existing posts, should one write more posts? April 21 06 April 20, 2006 Wow, my word of the month, is appropo when looking at Dave Werner's Portfolio. My fav was a treasure map of imagination.
April 18, 2006
Wow, that is a lot of white space down there. You would think after a week's vacation I might have something to say. April 18 06 It is WWdN: In Exile, Wil Wheaton's other blog. Weeee-sley.... as said in a robot voice like we did all last week.
April 17, 2006 April 16, 2006 Wow. Coca-Cola has taken my usual extra-zoom drink (double shot of espresso over ice, with a can of Coke) and called it Coca-Cola BlaK. (via joe)
April 15, 2006 So I think I know a few people who would like to have a Nintendo controller mouse. (via designologue)
April 08, 2006 April 07, 2006 They call it the urban loft with mobility, I call it the hipster RV for those trips to Austin for SXSW.
Hrrrrrm, if I bought this 300GB Hard Drive and something like this software, I could concievably just maker a bigger drive with current install of XP, right?
Woot! Another free MMORPG called Shadowbane. I imagine it's going to go the GuildWars way and make you pay for updates on materials.
The Sangaku Japanese case mod makes me think of the days when I wanted to convince my dad to get into artisan design of products and I was thinking that the coolest computer case would be a dark stained oak case. (via jer)
April 06, 2006 OK, this is a loud WTF ?!?!? There is a website, albeit not updated lately, called That Boy Is Toast Reviews. Can I get another WTF ?!?!?!
You know, I was intending on getting some Day Off kinda stuff done. You know, like get my hair cut or make a comicbook run. But the water is turned off so I am a non-showered stinky toasty kind of boy. I cannot wash the dishes so they sit, I cannot do laundry so I sit in yesterday's clothes. I cannot even brush my teeth. Should I just play computer games all day?
April 06 06 It's Treasure Tables, self described as "GMing advice, tips, ideas and resources - Dedicated to helping GMs." That's Game Master noobs.
April 05, 2006 Ohhhh man, Bloodrayne did a test screening here and I wasn't invited? Oh Uwe, why hast thou abandoned me? I am number one for 'uwe boll sucks' afterall.
April 04, 2006 Yay !! Graig just told me that Blood Rayne will be released here in Toronto in Friday !! Y'know I am getting used to bad movies and forgetting what good ones are like.
April 03, 2006 Ah hah !! I knew they were trying to kill me !! I knew that Constant Smiling Makes You Ill. (ahhh jen, you understand...)
OK, so it's not just me. It's so weird how I meet real grownups every day and I feel like I should be one of them, not just pretend like I do at work.
April 02, 2006 Dang! This Toronto After Work Schmooze was exactly the kind of thing I wanted to attend when I first arrived in Toronto but now four years later and four years out of the webdev loop, I would be afraid.
April 01, 2006 OK, this was my first official post as a weblog, though I had owned a personal website for years before that.
