Went to the local Toledo Butterfly house. Fail! Many moths do fly during the day, and that certainly isn't the biggest difference between the groups. Disappointing.
While watching the movie, the sound stopped and the cinema started to play a hindi song! :D
They did rewind the movie and showed the whole 5 minute scene again - with real movie sound...
I wasn't sure if I liked the cropped version or the not-cropped version better and G had the idea to add some lyrics from one of the songs I wrote, and I kind of like it too. So, these are part of the lyrics from the song I wrote called "Failed Goodbye". It's recorded and available for you to listen to if you're so inclined, message me and I'll send you the link!
luckily i'm not going anywhere today
edit:
nevermind, i'm going to see the movie 'up'! it's worth going out like this I think...
First attempt to render a snapshot for a given date : my first thought was that the valid date ranges for ways are not right and overlap. Detailed checking for several dates showed no duplicate way_ids, but examination of one of the railway lines showed that the nodes had not been sorted properly before building the linestring.
More investigation required.
The 50x70cm poster "Dr.Fail" is our participation for the SEEAR Exhibition 2013 themed "Superheroes".
The brief was to create a character and visualize him through a poster.
-
The poster exhibits the origins of Dr.Fail through three basic timelines. Two of them are centered around his personal life and events, that inspired him to build machines and weird inventions, most of which failed miserably. The third timeline is focused on his relationship with Megumi, the girl who unwillingly broke his heart and transformed him to a super villain.
-
The idea behind the poster is not to show the character itself, but instead allow the viewer, through an emotional association, to visualize the character based on similar experiences. The color theme and the choise of the data circle, was inspired by the character's japanese origin, which is enhanced by the use of english and japanese languages for the legend and text of the poster.

...but not because it doesn't look good now, because it does. Annie was supposed to be a redhead from the beginning but, when I tried this wig on him when he had his first faceup (that I accidentally destroyed) this wig looked AWFUL on him! Like, SUPER DUPER AWFUL! I then gave this wig away to my Volks School D boy. But, I decided for curiousity's sake to try this on him now and see what happened. Unfortunately, it looks friggin GREAT! But, I already gave the wig away to another character and I now have a completely different idea for his new wig. So, he will remain a temp blonde while I remain bitter that NOW he looks good in red. LOL! :D
I spotted the vendor from far away, noticed the traditional clothing he was wearing. I walked past the table pretending not to notice him. Then I acted like I have taken interest in the stuff he was selling. Pulled out the camera, wham! he blocked his face. Understanding the gesture, I snapped anyway, hoping he would not kick my butt for it (learned this from Ana Lee Smith).
I always shoot RAW and up until now I always shot with Nokon gear only. Hence I have only used Niks excellent (its a love or hate type of software) Capture NX to process my RAW files. Recently I bought a Fuji X100 so with that I needed to search out a RAW processing program for it. Natural choice was Adobe Lightroom. New version just out, many revisions and also hugely popular.
I installed the demo version and went ahead and learnt how to use it. While it had many features that I would never use, the main thing of converting RAW files worked well and I achieved good results without too much effort. Lightroom though was very slow on my not so new but not so old system. But I could live with it.
I looked at the pricing and in Australia its sold for $187 ex GST (ie download version). In USA its $149. Being an Aussie I get charged 25% over the USA price. Not cool. I tried a quick method to fudge it and "pretend" I am American but that failed. I know I can setup proxies, mail addresses to get around this but I didn't feel like going to these lengths just to buy a product.
In the end I gave up on Lightroom and tried different RAW processors. None really caught my eye too much, plus they were quite expensive. It wasn't until late last week I came across Corel After Shot Pro. Based on the old Bible Pro, I decided to give it a go. Impressive, very impressive. Not as polished as Lightroom, but also not as bloated, and much, much faster. The best bit is that I pay same price whether I am in Sydney, San Francisco or Hong Kong. And the better bit is that the price of $53 USD (using coupon code "ARTCOREL10" for 10% Off ) is about $80 cheaper than the Adobe stuff.
Fail Adobe. And I hope this enquiry will result in some changes. Some Adobe execs need to realise that if you buy a coffee in Sydney they will be charged the same price as the Aussie dude standing next to them or the Chinese woman sitting reading the paper sipping her coffee...
This past weekend I attended one of the few Volkswagen shows I truly look forward to going to every year. That show would be SOWO, in Helen GA. The venue could not be in a more perfect location, tucked away in the mountains in a small little German town. This shot was taken just outside of down on the side of the road with one of the many amazing views to be seen from this awesome town.
This car belongs to Kyle aka "Fail" hints the title.

This is a series of experiments with part of a band sampler from Lesley Wilkin's Traditional Blackwork Samplers. Each quarter is different except for the bottom two of the motif on the right. They aren't my style so I won't use them but I still learned a lot.
