We got a little concerned this weekend when the check engine light was flashing on the car’s dashboard. With the recent drop in temperature, I had an idea of what was probably causing it.
Cold weather air contracts and brings the PSI down. Most standard-size car tires maximum PSI is around 44. You can find your [...]
After putting in a day’s work, I headed off to vote. If you haven’t done it yet, make sure to get out to your local precinct and caste your ballot.
Not too long ago my friend Joe sent this funny video to myself and others relating to the election. Hahaha. I was tricked at first and [...]
Apparently somebody thinks Mr. Nico looks like a certain Mr. Bear.
Notice the fine attention to details, such as the uneven facial hair and the Masters of the Universe t shirt. My favorite nuance would have to be the epic struggle between stickman Skeletor and He-Man below the logo of the animated series.
Who crafted this remarkably [...]
One Saturday morning I woke up to an odd barking noise outside. A lot of our neighbors have dogs and take them for walks in the morning, so naturally I thought Sparky was the source of the commotion. Scanning the ground yielded no visual confirmation. Instead, my eyes were directed up to [...]
I’ve never seen hot air balloons launch in real life before. I guess it’s because I’m not an early rise person. I’m glad I went against my nature to see them take off yesterday morning at 6:30am from a mist covered field.
My favorite balloon of the entire show was the dragon one. The happy dragon [...]
I’ve run into a wall recently, and it’s 32 bit. The setup I currently have is good enough for most everything else (low to mid-stress games, artwork, etc), but 1080p HD playback and editing required a re-think to what hardware I was running everything on. I never upgrade hardware unless it limits my software’s work [...]
This week was car maintenance happy-fun-time. ( I guess it’s my turn to get owned ) Out of the ordinary issues arose, which caused a chain reaction of other things to happen. The details don’t really matter all that much besides it putting the schedule into a different rhythm.
On my way back from the [...]
Back in college, I used to go hang out with friends or draw to music played through the earliest builds of winamp. Usually we had version one of the whitecap or geiss plugins running in the background. There was a growing underground community of people writing their own visualization mods for plugins (it [...]
Back in April I knew that my sister was planning on getting married sometime in July, but I didn’t know which weekend it would be. It just so happened that it was on the same weekend as Comicon this year, which was bittersweet but good in the end. I was working overtime to [...]
A couple of days ago my friend John sent me a couple of things in the mail. One was this keychain they made of a design I did for the band. They did a pretty neat job on the details. You can get them at the Hard Rock Cafe in Tokyo here.
They [...]
George Carlin was one of my favorite comedians. More-so than his social tag as an entertainer, he was always pushing the boundaries of free speech and writing throughout the evolution of his career. Treading lightly and Carlin were a classic duo of paradox for those who know about “You Are All Diseased“, “Complaints and [...]
I happened upon an unlikely visitor during a late night stroll: a royal toad. I tried to fold my arms in front like him while taking this photo. There was a sudden tension in the air shortly afterwards.
Royal toad seemed to resonate an offense to my posing, as if I was mocking [...]
A couple weekends ago I went to the park with my wife. It’s about the time of the year when the temperature is pleasant and the animals are making little versions of themselves. We took some bread with us and blanket. Aaaaah. After being inside for hours and hours working on [...]
A couple of nights ago (after watching King of Kong) I woke up to the sounds of the smoke alarm, insanely loud wind, and shaking. I turned to the alarm clock and saw 3:40am. Two things registered in my mind: 1) I didn’t know that fire alarms could detect forces other [...]
A day at work has me using a stylus making picture which bleeds into more work later in the evening, using either a pencil, paintbrush, or mouse…you know, the typical nerdy stuff.
Finding anything that helps in relieving possibility of carpal tunnel is great. Some of my friends wear a wrist guard, others wear TWO [...]
