the new xbox!!

Check out the new specs on the Xbox 360!! I wonderr how much it will cost.
I plan on buying one as soon as there are a few great games!

The system is going to open up new avenues for game developers!!! The low poly models we are used to now(which are awesome by the way), are going to look like dodo next to the graphics on the 360!! The xbox 360 can process 5x the polygons per sec!!!

Friday the Thirteenth ugh

If any of you have ever worked in an office, you know how great it is to get out of the office for lunch. So, I am really bummed because today, there is an office lunch meeting at noon.Mandatory. YUK! I bet they are going to tell us more about how they are moving the company to Newark, the armpit of the world. At leeast Ohio has less county problems!Maybe I will go to lunch at 11am, and come back for the meeting at noon and eat again!

Canisius - Paul

Paul,
I am sorry to hear that Canisius didn't hire you.
It is their own damn loss! That's how I would look at it. I bet there was some sort of political reasoning behind their decision. I am a contractor in the prepress department at ma printing company. The company hired a new prepress individual, and effectively skipped over me. Their reasoning was this; I already worked for them full time, so let's hire an outside person and we will have that extra person. The higherup management only approved one hiring, and I was told I would be the next addition to the permanent team. I am still a contractor 9months later. Needless to say, I will be moving to Pittsburgh PA in the next couple months. Shhh don't tell them, they/it ddoesn't know anything yet!!!And I will be sorely missed, or so I am told.

what do you think?

Today at the job, I noticed that one of the 50 web sites my company maintains doesn't work properly. I am using mac OS X 10.3 with firefox. So I tested the same site on a pc with firefox. The site didn't work there either. I asked one of the developers, why the site was down, and the reply I got was, "we don't test cross platform." Does anyone else besides me find this ridiculous? We are a 10-15million dollar company, and the main source of our revenue comes from web based orders, but we don't test on any platform except internet explorer!!! What is wrong with mac users' money? Does anyone besides me use firefox?

long day

Have you ever had that day at work, whwhen you look at the clock every 10 minutes? It is very slow at work right now, and there is little to do. I should start a project, like archiving old data, but I am not in the mood. I just want to go home and do something creative.

snip talk

It is funny how a tv show can cause such an uproar on estrip!
I am impartial either way, But I was always under the impression that circumcision
was a sanitary health issue. I also wonder if women even have a preference? [inlink]metalpeter,332[/inlink]
Cut or uncut?
I am willing to bet that most women have never even seen an uncut version. I haven't!

images from a relaxing friday

While listening to some classic Jazz. (Miles, Coltrane, Billie, and Thelonious) I decided to sketch and ink a fantasy fairy like drawing tonight. After some rough sketching, I came up with this;

This is the result of really old watery ink! I need to buy some new stuff. Maybe I will get more than 1 color this time. Although I have always been fascinated of the high contrast of black on white.

I am not a perfectionist when it comes to my art, but I still like my stuff to be neat. The reason I put my imagination on paper is for the enjoyment of the process, BUT don't you hate it when the horrid spill occurs!! I do.

I finished my picture, even though I ruined it. It was still fun to ink it! I guess I could crop the page.

Finally I took this image a few days ago, I was messing around with my digital camera. My c oworkers look forward to the weekend for time off from work. I look forward to the weekend for time off, Jazz, Art, and Relaxation. It's hard to fit all that in one weekend!
