I have been neglecting my dA account for a few weeks now, but I have made it through my messages and about half of my devWatch today. Theres a lot of good stuff still left in it to comment on tomorrow.

Things are going pretty well. Work is pretty fun and chill, only now I have quite a bit of time off due to the troubles in the banking industry. Whether or not this time can be harnessed in a productive way that doesn't involve an Xbox remains to be seen.

I was chilling with a friend of mine yesterday and we made pizza. It turned out crazy-go-nuts good. Maybe I should just start a pizzeria out of my apartment. I could serve it to the tourists on the Amtrak trains that roll past every day.

On the subject of things that are of surprisingly high quality. One of my laptop's hinges came loose the other day and made closing the screen a little annoying. Luckily I was able to pry the plastic cover off, and tighten the screws that hold in the metal hinge bit and now it works perfectly. Didn't even have to shut it down! Try that on a macbook.. pfff you'd have to send it back to the factory for 6 weeks and they'd charge you a million bucks to tighten the screws with a special wrench made from orphan bones.

As I have made a habit of posting interesting videos, here is something new to watch.

It's a sort of lego/animation/fashion/music mash up. I saw it on facebook a while back and liked it. I'm sure it has been around on dA before, but I haven't seen it linked, so there.


This is also pretty cool.

Using a special patterned robe to use the power of the sun to tan a pattern on to your skin. It would be less useful on people like myself who just burn at the first thought of going outdoors.
