Diablo

Ok, I've found my Christmas present. I don't care if I never get another Christmas present for as long as I live. Just as long as I get one of these:



A Smart car with a Suzuki Hayabusa motor in it - what more could a boy want?

Just Another Manic...

Yes it's Monday. So what's going on to cause this blog entry to be posted at a time other than the now normal 4:00am? Ab-so-loot-ly nothing. Just felt like typing random dribble really. :)

Work's getting more interesting - we've finally managed to wade through the vast majority of the backlog we faced. So now we can get on with designing new products. Which makes Adam a happy boy.

Photography is in a bit of a rut at the moment. I had a paid job last week but I just don't have the motivation to get off my butt and shoot something. Probably not helped by the total lack of inspiration I've got going on right now. But hey, it's not like I've never faced this sort of thing before and it went away. Just gotta give it some time to finish its hissy-fit and let me move on.

I've been trying to think of something I can do as a hobby, alongside my photography. So far, all I've thought of are getting back into building plastic model kits (something I used to do a number of years ago) and perhaps seeing if I can fin a cheap acoustic guitar and go back to chicken-scratching along to my favourite music, and dreaming of that-time-that=-will-never-come when I'm a rock star. Other than that I'm a not really sure what else would keep my mind involved for very long. I'll figure something out.

Have been getting into Facebook a lot lately. I've been able to find a bunch of people I went to school with, which is always cool. I always like reminiscing about school days - they were a lot of fun to me.

Other than that, all is well. :)

Cog's new video

My current "hero" band, Cog have a new song out. Here's the film clip.



Sounds like they're taking some inspiration from their early stuff, which is awesome. We're going to see them on November 11th @ HQ, and I cannot wait. New album is out early next year.

It's Just Another Rainy Night...

Ah, you gotta love an early 90s Queensryche reference...

So here I am, about a week after my last night-of-shitty-sleep, tapping away on the keys (woo a Fear Factory reference - I'm on fire!) because I woke up at about 1:30am. The cat's been pissing me off this morning. I tried to lie down and snooze for a while, but she kept moving things and making the little noises that prod me out of anything that approaches a nap.

Hope that coffee machine is stocked up...

I've been workng through my CDs, getting them ripped and onto the MacBook. Not too many more to go now and I'll be set. One beautiful thing about this little sucker is that Sony BMG's copyright protecion bullshit software on The Butterfly Effect's Imago album doesn't work. So I have sweet MP3s of the whole album on all my machines now. Take that, big business!

I discovered Facebook the other day too. I've so far found a bunch of people I went to school with, one I went to uni with and I found a mate who moved to the UK six months ago who I thought I'd lost contact with. So it's pretty cool for that I guess. Other than that, it feels a little inflated. But I'll give it some time to settle down and see what I think.

Speaking of inflated, I had a dabble in Second Life a few weeks ago. Kinda cool that you can fly around the worlds, but really, what's the point? Other than a dodgy 3D engine, it's just a dressed-up chat program that chews up my bandwidth.

Can you tell I'm a little tired?
