Fiddle Me This.

Posted in poser | 4 Comments
Donovan 2 by =mynfel on deviantART My first real attempt at Poser fiddling. Was originally intended to be the match for SteamPunk Angel (once I put clothes on him), but really frustrated with trying to work out the fingers. I don’t think it’s quite right, but I’m not sure how to fix it.  Short of just rendering him naked and thereby distracting the viewer well away from his hands.  Which I could also do. *ahem* >_< (and click on the link – the thumbnail really doesn’t give you a very good look).… Read more

Ah…The Power of Cheese.

Posted in Connor | 2 Comments
Connor wrote a story today, the wonders of which I will share with you now. (I have cleaned up the spelling.) I like cheese. Cheese is good for you. You can rip in half cheese.Cheese is walking to his home. In Cheese World everything is made of cheese. Cheese has a girlfriend. His girlfriend wants to marry him. The end of Cheese World. Uncanny observation of relationships? Or merely delight in curdled dairy goodness?… Read more

It’s funny, but when I started this blog last year (think it was in February), I didn’t really think too much about what I was going to write about. Or even how frequently I was going to write.

I mean, sure – I’m working towards that goal of getting pubbed, so it would make sense that I’d get visitors who are also working towards that. After all, writing n00bs are n00bs for a reason, and there’s a certain safety in numbers. And a healthy sort of cynicism, too. If nothing else, we can learn from each… Read more

Technology Upgrades

Posted in kindle, xbox | 2 Comments
I bit the bullet this weekend and bought a Kindle. I’ve actually been avoiding the whole e-reader thing for quite a while. I’ve always been an advocate for paper-based books. I like covers. I like the smell of the paper. I like taking them into the bathtub. I like to dog-ear the pages. However. In attempting to go through a lot of my house, I’ve discovered that I really do have too many books. Shelves and shelves of them.Which is fine – I love books, as I’ve said. But, I’ve come to realize that I  have a serious lack of time and more importantly, I’ve become less inclined to buy books I’m not sure I *want* hanging around the house. Which maybe sounds worse than it should – but what I mean is that there are books I’d like to read, but I’m not sure I want to read them… Read more
