You want Monkeywiz, we got it!
The fantastic commercial sculptor Tony Cipriano was interviewed for the cool new online tv channel Heroes, Villains and Artists.
Part one is here, and I’ve now included a new Heroes, Villains and Artists page of my own, with a video stream which will automatically update whenever they release a new episode.
They also have these episodes available to download on their site
I saw the link to these
over at Angry Zen Master, and I have so say they’re not only some of the best toy/collectables I’ve seen in some time they’re also some of the coolest pieces of woodwork I’ve seen.
I wonder if they’ll be available for sale and how much they’ll cost. Well I guess I could sell a kidney, any takers for a slightly used one? (only one not very careful owner, I’ll give you a good price)
I’ve never really ‘got’ the whole wrestling thing, it just never piqued my interest before, but after seeing this over at Angry Zen Master I might be a convert (at least for any future sesame street/muppet matches)
This is by no means a recent item but I only found it the other day so thought other people might have missed it too, but check out this cool custom keyboard.
Congrats to Jami from Angry Zen Master and his wife to be Audrey who are getting married today.
All the best and I hope you have a great day.
Blimey, the world doesn’t get any less weird (which of course is a good thing, more weirdness I say).
The age of the fish was determined by removing an ear bone, known as the otolith, which contains growth rings similar to those in tree trunks.
The estimated age was between 90 and 115 years old
I’ve decided to sell my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC if anyone is interested in owning it (one careful driver).
It’s a great machine, 2ghz processor, 1 gb ram and an 80 gb Hard Drive it’s comparable to some peoples desktop machines, with the added benefit of the wacom digitizer built into the screen so you can draw (512 levels of pressure sensitivity) write (built in hand-writing recognition) and even dictate to it (built in voice recognition).
I wasn’t using it to it’s full potential even with the Multi-Dock docking station I have for it (included for free in the sale), allowing you to use it like a monitor with a separate mouse and keyboard whilst still using the pen on the screen, either in upright portrait or landscape, or flat on your desk/lap and so thought as it’s still under a year old someone else would get better use out of it than me.
It’s already listed on the dreaded eBay Toshiba Tecra M4
To see one actually being used to it’s full potential check out the previously mentioned tutorial video’s by Onezumi HERE
I finally managed to go and see The 300, and I was not disappointed.
My girlfriend admitted it was OK but that she got a little bored due the fact that most of the entire film is a series of battles (and surprising too as I thought at least all of the testosterone filled near nekkid men would have held her interest but it seems she likes a little bit more story if she can get it).
The story itself was good, admittedly a little thin, but if you’re expecting an in depth drama then I think perhaps your expectations are a little skewed anyway if you saw the trailer for this and thought “now there’s the intellectual treat I was looking for”
As a friend of mine described it to me before I went there was “…lot’s of fancy killin’…” and the whole thing looks great throughout What more do you want?, go see it now.
I gave myself the challenge of creating an entire game demo in flash, including simple 3D models built in 3DS Max and rendered off for in-game graphics over a weekend and this is the result.
Let me know if it’s too easy/too hard and if anyone would like me to continue the project and turn it into a full game.
A quiet night’s sleep is not an option for Derek Rogers or his wife – because he turns from a mild-mannered “Dr Jekyll” by day to a “Mr Hyde” by night.
First time I’ve heard of someone having to take a potion before going to bed to stop them, becoming ‘Hyde’-like
