You probably know about the next version of Windows, called Windows Vista, but did you know there’s a Windows Vista soda?
That’s not my image, I got it from Google Images. If it’s your image, leave a comment.
Yeah, I know. Wierd. Messed up. Why the hell does it need a soda?! If I come across some I’ll tell you how it tastes :P.
Boot Camp! Wow. What a great hack. I got Windows XP SP2 Home installed on my MacBook Pro, and it’s ver cool. I had forgotten how fun 3D Space Cadet Pinball is! The horror…
The funny part is the version of Windows I got. I bought it from eBay (It’s way cheaper), and it has all these warnings all over it. Check them out:

I haven’t managed to get Uru to work on it yet, but not for long…
Update: Now Windows won’t install. To the comment: It is authentic, just an OEM. The windows disc is covered in large, circular scratches, and it keeps stalling earlier and earlier. Now it won’t get past the little blinky line cursor at the very beginning of the install. I’m at a complete and utter dead end. If anyone knows what to do to fix this problem, please, please contact me.
I recently started juggling clubs (I almost have 3 down), since I have 3 balls mastered. While juggling on the beach, one of the clubs (a red one, to be specific) spun the wrong way and hit me in the teeth. My top-front-right (my right) tooth got chipped, leaving about 2/3 left in my mouth and the rest gone. No blood, but I think there was a nerve exposed or something because anything hot or cold really bothered it. It was difficult to live with for a day 😛

Well I got a new 1/3 bonded on at the dentist’s office, but it’s very annoying. It has to be thicker than the original tooth (to hold onto the remaining tooth part), meaning that it obstructs my bite a tiny bit. Very annoying. But it looks ok.
This one too
Today I’m releasing Galamay Area 2/Version 2. It’s a custom-made age for Uru Complete Chronicles that I’ve been working on for more than 7 months, and I’m finally releasing it. To download it, get the Uru Age Manager and download it from there. For more information about Galamay, visit the Galamay Log (It’s In Character, so might not provide much information). Happy exploring!
First the Transformers Movie, now this. My childhood is literally being remade in photorealistic 3D. What was wrong with the actors in turtle suits?!
My favorite movie as a kid
Seriously. Look at the above and now compare to below:
The Ninja Turtles as of next year
And now the Transformers:
Good old Optimus Prime
Optimus….Prime?!
I can’t believe they’re remaking these two shows/movies (I only liked the 3 TMNT movies, not the animated shows…) are being remade. I’m too young to be nostalgic!
edit: RARG why won’t this work…
I’ve renamed my blog. Obviously. Wanna know why? Here’s why.
Apparently, the internet is not what we thought it was. According to the Unite States Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, the Internet is a series of tubes. Well. Um….Ok? Tubes. Right. He stated a few days ago that
An Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday; I just got it yesterday . . . because it got tangled up.
and also this
The Internet isn’t something you just dump things on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes!
This was all in response to the cry out for Net Neutrality, and blatntly displays Senator Stevens’ extreme lack of knowledge about the reality of the Internet.
Then again, maybe he knows something we dont?
I used to have a dream theory, which stated that the instant you realize you are dreaming is the instant you begin to wake up. This made perfect sense, because as you begin to regain conciousness you become aware that you were dreaming, so I figured they were connected.
Well, it appears I was wrong. I learned yesterday about Lucid Dreams, which are dreams that you can control. This occurs when you’re dreaming and you realize you’re dreaming. You are then in control of your subconcious mind, allowing you to do virtually anything in your own little dream world! This idea really appeals to me, because I think it would be extremely cool to do anything I wanted and not be restrained by physics or laws or any other restraints in the physical world.
The Wikipedia article lists ways of having Lucid Dreams, such as reality tests. These involve doing things in the awake world which usually do not happen in the dream world, such as pinching youself and feeling pain, reading text properly, etc. The idea is that if you do these tests enough in real life (where they will always pass, you feel pain if you pinch yourself and text does not change by itself), you will eventually dream about yourself doing one of these tests, and of course the test will fail in your dream (where you feel no pain and text can change itself at will). When you see the test fail, you realize you are dreaming and are placed in control. Very cool.
To help myself try to become Lucid and have better dream recall, I have started a Dream Log to record any and all dreams I have in. Congratulations, you can now read my subconcious mind. Freud would have a field day 😛
Hail and Frisco to the Emperor of the United States, Joshua A. Norton. Even though long dead, nobody has filled his vacant space as Emperor of America, and so he remains our Emperor. Hail and Frisco to the Emperor!
(To whom I now owe $50 :P)
All you Uru fans out there know about the Town Hall meetings. They are meetings between the Myst/Uru fan community and members of Cyan Worlds or the DRC (D’ni Restoration Council, which is Cyan’s In-Character group and the focal point of the Uru Live storyline). There is currently a Town Hall meeting taking place on the D’mala shard in the Town Hall Neighborhood, with Rand Miller (one of the founders of Cyan Worlds and the current CEO, I think). This meeting was originally planned for yesterday, but RAWA (Richard A. Watson, another very influential and senior member of Cyan Worlds) posted the following on the official forums two or three days ago:
I’m very sorry to have to announce this, but something has come up and the Town Hall with Rand needs to be postponed by 24 hours. It will now be held on Tuesday, July 18, at 9am Cavern Time.
It’s postponed for a nice reason, and hopefully you’ll agree that it was worth the extra 24 hour wait.
🙂
RAWA
This of course got everyone very excited, because we (being the community we are) automatically jump to conclusions and assume the best. Uru Live Beta is starting! However, now the meeting is going on and RAWA has posted this:
The “surprise” for tomorrow’s town hall is not going to happen tomorrow after all. Due to circumstances beyond Cyan’s control, the earliest it can happen will be late next week. The C.O. Meter will be knocked down a few notches to commiserate the delay.
Argh! Ok so we have to wait another week until we get out surprise. Oh well. Oh and the C.O. Meter is the Cautious Optimism Meter, which is what we Uru fans are supposed to have. Cautious optimism. Screw that, says I. I predicted the return of live, and even got the date for the announcment right. I’ve known that it would come back from the moment Cyan got back on their feet. I don’t have an ounce of Cautious Optimism in my blood, just full blown optimism. : D AND I’M PROUD OF IT!
I bought some new supplies yesterday for comic-making (I’ll post the first one soon). I got 3 pens (one Copic 100 black regular and one sketch, as well as a Micron pen for tiny stuff) and 2 kneaded rubber erasers (plus a normal one). I’m drawing on a large Bristol pad (11″ x 17″) for the comics plus a 11″x8.5″ one for other stuff, and a 11″x8.5″ sketch pad for other other stuff 😛
