I was trying to view some pictures in a different topic, but when I clicked on the link, it came up with a 404. I went to the websites, and it said it was down for maintenance. Does anybody else have this problem, or is it just me? The reason I'm asking is because my computer has iffy connection and has brought up the "down for maintenance" page before when it wasn't down for mainteneance.

Sometimes, when I try to upload an image to brickshelf and get to the part where I name the folder, it says "The 'New Folder' name was invalid. See tips below." even though I have followed all of the naming guidelines.

I've been having problems with Brickshelf for the last week or so. Specifically, I have been unable to add a new folder to my page. Whenever I try, I am told that the "field 'New folder name' was invalid" (I checked; it's not). Any suggestions?"But as long as I'm here, I get to bust heads!"

So, brickshelf and majhost's servers are down. Too bad I can't upload the comic I've totally finished and not at all procrastinated on. Seriously though, my apologies for the lack of updating of my comics. I have not had as much time this semester to do things I enjoy as I would like (we kinda hit the ground running). I do hope to inspired soon and start working on a comic. Another thing sort of slowing me down is that I'm getting used to using GIMP, which is quite different from Photoshop, which my new computer does not have. Thus, I have to make do. In other news, this semester I'm taking quantum mechanics version 2.0 and classical mechanics. In both classes (ironically) we're working with Lagrangian mechanics, as the classical Lagrangian (the difference of kinetic and potential energy of a system) is useful in deriving equations to describe systems in both the classical and quantum mechanical regimes. In fact, when one uses the Lagrangian as a way to formulate wavefunctions of quantum mechanics, Hamilton-Jacobi equation (a classical physics equation) pops out of the Schrödinger equation! It's as though physics is self-consistent or something...

So as it seems they aren't coming back, how can I find the old comics and movies? I presume that they would be somewhere on Brickshelf, but I'm not really adept at using that site... Help?

I love writing. Virtually every thing I do pertains to writing in some way; on the Internet I write posts on forums (and Blogs like this). If I read a Book I write a review (and that is why I don't read much)--I'm always critically analyzing stuff... Yes, even LEGO sets. So, with out further adieu, I present to you My Review of Tanma... as well as my own review format. Outer Appearance Obviously this is an important feature; The Box is what people see in the store before they buy anything. A plain paper box won't do. Let me just say this up front: I love the new Matoran Boxes. They are my favorite small set box in the whole line of Bionicle. The plastic top and bottom are really cool, and I think it adds alot of attraction to these sets. (Just a quick note--All the thumbnails in this review are clickable) I've already mentioned the plastic lids, so onto the rest of the box. The front of the box sports a rather dramatic picture of Tanma--swords and all. The background isn't as detailed as other sets' have been, however I think it keeps the focus on the actual product better that way. at the very bottom of the container is the much loved LEGO trademark as well as the address to Bionicle.com. along the sides are the stats for the set: the Age Range, the Set number, and... the part count--a mere 14 parts. The Back of the Box explains that Tanma can attach to Lewa's back (Set interaction is Good), but there is not much more then that. The sides just have the Bionicle brand name. Inner Contents Of course, no one would buy just the box--it's what's inside that really counts...Or does it? After struggling to get off the white band I was finally able to open up the box--the top just slides right off. For Only 14 parts I was pleasantly surprised to see that all but the Katanas were new molds. I especially love the Legs and arms, simply because they are one of the first parts to have a socket on one end and a ball on the other (Rahkshi thighs don't count because of the multiple parts). Oh, and yes the feet are a new mold to--they run in the same vein as the new sockets. As seen above, Most parts are rather large, so you get your money's worth in plastic, still I would have liked to see more smaller parts, but that may be just me... The Kanohi, yes I said Kanohi, is the best we have seen since the Toa Metru. I find that it is more Bionicle then any of the ones in the past few years. It's nice and smooth, with out the rigid details, yet it still has enough detail to distinguish it from other masks. Quite simply: It's awesome. Building Process Half the fun is putting sets together--"Oh, no that piece goes over one more stud." "Someone! I can't find the last Part!" The building process is what LEGO is all about. "Ah-Ha! that's what that's used for!" I was a little saddened when I unfolded the instructions and found that there were only four steps to building Tanma. 1.) place Head and Booster pack on torso 2.) Pop arms and Legs on 3.) Put on hands and feet and 4.) give him his mask and swords. It was quite boring, honestly. I had him built in less then a minute. I would have liked these Matoran to at least be slightly more complicated... kinda like the Mahri Matoran. Ah, oh well. It is what it is... Finished Product Now that it's all built it's ready for display...or play, your pick. Still how do all the parts in this set work together to make this an Awesome..or Not-So-Awesome set? First off Tanma is full of poses--if you want to display him he's great for that. His limbs are a little hard to get used to seeing as they are somewhat differant than what we have had in the past (The Arms especially), but once you figure them out he fun to play around with. Tanma, as with most sets as of recent, is more of an Action figure then anything else. he has nine points of articulation (2 for each limb then the head), and quite a few features that make him quite playable. HIs mask can obviously come off, he has a pair of swords that kids can use to hack at enemies and he has what appears to be a jet-pack. All of these make this set fun to play around with. Closing Remarks So, How does everything add up? Should you buy the set or pass it over? Is it all really worth it? I'd say you should definitely get Tanma. While he's short on parts I's say all the new parts make up for it. here's a quick Rundown of everything: ProsAlmost completely filled with new partsLime PartsCan combine with LewaHas an awesome mask Cons Only 14 partsLimbs are slightly hard to get used toIn closing: Go and Get Tanma--as soon as you can.

I love large LEGO structures. Especially those with details. this latest Bickshelf Folder is one such LEGO creation. Hanibal Seems to have quite a knack for Castle themed buildings--most of his work is done digitally it appears, but his Cathedral is 100% real. And 100% Awesome. (Click the thumbnail to go to the Gallery) Quite simply, The details in this building are awesome. The size also is awesome, and the colors are spectacular. Really I have not much to say. View the MOC and enjoy. //.Tek (This MOC is not mine, just pointing it out.)

Heh, another Random Brickshelf. This one I found a while back and thought it was funny--and well built. Noddy has put together a very well Fantastic MOC depicting a Magic Carpet Race. I love every thing about this--the landscaping at the base is awesome--as well as the little details in the Figs and stuff. Yeah, very cool... (Click for gallery) So, somewhere in the Arabian Desert at the time of Aladin and all, apparently, Magic Carpet races take place. Though... how one could not fly faster then another... or even how there is a limit on how fast a magical gravity-defying object could go is slightly beyond me. But still it's cool. Yeah... I'll stop now... Post your thoughts. //.Tek (As, almost always this isn't mine, Just pointing it out)

Ah, I love the game of Chess. A battle of the minds. I find it so much fun to try and out smart you opponent. Why am I Talking about Chess? Well, our latest Brickshelf folder is a Fan Made Starwars Chess set. Very cool. This one is From Verycherry who seems to be quite the Starwars fan. (Click to Visit the Gallery) Yeah, quite simple, I agree, but still very cool. I'd defiantly get this if I could. I like all the troops used on both sides. My one complaint that I have is the Fleshie Leah... but other then that it's sweet. Post your thoughts! //.Tek (Again, This is not mine Nor do I claim it as such)

Heh, after going through my tons of draft posts I decided on this one to finish up and publish... Anyway, Kaminoan Seems to be a very talented Brickshelfer. He has a whole gallery of Custom Minifigs (And LEGO People of the like). (Click to go to the Gallery) Yeah, I know most of his galley consists of Star Wars Figs (All of those are very cool-- especially the ST EU Figs) But I really liked his Aragorn fig, so yeah. I assume he's done all these himself (With exception of the figs he notes as done or helped by others). He's got quite a collection. Anyway, browse the whole Gallery--he has three pages and some of his figs on the last few pages are really quite cool (Oh also note the tauntaun on the last page--it's really cool). So yeah Enjoy this random finding! //.Tek (Again, as always, This gallery isn't mine nor are the MOCs and custom figs in it.)

Heh, I like this title. This latest finding actually has nothing to do with a dog... but rather Space (All the space fans go: SPACE! Yeah... an AFoL thing I've picked up on...) Anyway, I came across this sweet Moon Rover the other day and I'm just now deciding to show it to everyone. (Click to go to the gallery) I really love all the Techniques used in this MOC. Everything from the use of Blay and grey to the SNOT (Studs Not On Top) effects. Everything feels right about this MOC. The wheels look like treads (Yet are still wheels). There is some color on the Rover (note the orange) yet, it keeps a mechanical looking grey/blay combo. Yup. Very cool stuff here. //.Tek (This MOC is not Mine, nor am I claiming it as such. Just showing it off to people because I thought it was cool.)

Ah, well out of randomness I decided to search on brickshelf for Rahi Zaku. Some of us may remember the days before our art forum turned to stick figures and music videos... The days when true artists roamed BZP... now a days most true artists have a semblance of a Life... or something like that... Anyways. I surprisingly found some bold Brickshelfer who had saved quit a bit of RZ's Art. Funny thing is, while RZ is still one of the best artists--it doesn't seem to match what I had remembered... It's maybe because I'm a better artist then I used to be. Ah well... onto the Brickshelf: (Click to go to the whole gallery) Ah, well there's so much here to comment on. from his Jaller and Hali to his Jaller and Hali. Yeah There quit a bit of his starting-out art but then there is some of his best Re-designs. I suppose I could comment on All The Girls He Liked to draw... but then again I guess the Art speaks for itself... Anyway, Enjoy. //.Tek (Oh, and no this art is NOT mine. I just found it on Brickshelf and thought people would enjoy looking at it.)

Heh, well I love the NES--especially the Mario Games and the Zelda games (Yes, you heard right I like Zelda II). Anyway, I love LEGO mosaics as well--these seem to be an interesting variation from the standard ones I've seen--they're sideways (Like most mosaics) But they don't seem to use a baseplate. I found that interesting... (Click for the whole gallery) Anyway, I thought you people might enjoy that find. //.Tek (Again not mine, just found on B-Shelf) Oh, in other news I love the Master of Bionicle Contest. I love Logic--and I really want the prize... //.Tek

I stumbled across this brickshelf the other day. I thought it was quite interesting. Kopeke64 Has done a great job in collecting a huge Library of Rahi. Seriously--it's like the Onu-Metru archives. (Click to view the whole gallery) The gallery has three pages of various Rahi--most are either sets or combiner models. Still, I found it fun to browse through. Enjoy. //.Tek (Again, these are not my images. I have not uploaded them. I just found them on BrickShelf and thought others would like them.)

"LOL What?" First off, before I get around to the next Random Brickshelf... I guess I should explain the concept of this whole creation. Steampunks are a fan theme--they're mostly in AFOL (Adult Fan Of LEGO) Circles... the basic concept is this: No electricity. Yeah. This fan theme makes all kinds of things run off of steam (Hence the Steampunk). Mos often Greebles are used for the detailing a creation would need. Gears and Tecninc Parts are also used almost in excess. Probably the coolest concept with this is the time period. The 1800s (you know before the combustion engine) is about the time when most creations are set (Most of the Figs have that feel on them). With the vast variety of this fan-theme you can make some pretty sweet stuff--like this Steampunk Mecha walker. Yeah very cool. (Click to Enlarge) This was made by LEGOholic (What a cool name, Eh) who has some other sweet creations in his B-shelf. Oh also, he's got a whole gallery of those steampunks--not just that one walker. So Check it out. I love the walker the most because of it's simplicity--The legs are but a few pieces, yet they look like they're an intricate design. Also, notice the Big tank behind the driver--that's the steam tank. You'll notice a few hoses as well those for for the "Steam" to "Travel through." Yeah. Very sweet stuff here. //.Tek NOTE: This is NOT my MOC. I am not claiming it as such I just though it was cool and that others would as well.

Yeah. It's time for then next random Brickshelf. I found CountBlockula's Gallery a while back, but just recently I've restumbled upon it. He's got some pretty sweet stuff, but I like his Donkey Kong--apparently from Mario Cart. (Click For The Gallery) Yeah--all the various techniques he uses are really quite cool. DK's face is really impressive. Yup. Oh, Click The "Up" tab for more Mario Cart-ness. They're all pretty sweet. (Remember these MOCs are not my own, I just found them on B-SHelf...) (Yes, My other post on LEGO Techniques is almost done, I hope to post it today to tomorrow....) //.Tek

After the few days of Waiting We can finally upload things to B-shelf! I'm quite happy (Considering I'd check about every half-hour) And I can Finally Upload This! In other news I'm Building Krakua according to these instructions. *Goes off to my shop to fulfill Requests and approve Blogs* //.Tek

Well, while browsing Brickshelf (As usual) I came across gallery owner "RabbitSpook". Jokes on his name aside, He had some very interesting MOCs--mostly Castle MOCs. The one I like the most was his Border Bridge: Gallery Probably the reason I liked it the most was the massive amount of Details he put into it. Everything from the diagonal patterns on the bridge to the minifigs set up in the various ways. It's a very sweet MOC. Another thing I like was the fact that this isn't a typical Castle-Type MOC. This just may be the only Castle themed Bridge out there! (Again Remember this is Not my MOC, I just found it on B-Shelf) //.Tek

Well, Finally Brickshelf is letting us upload, so I uploaded yesterday's hard work. Yes. The emote at the beginning of this post. Not Just one Emote though... No A Whole Gallery. So, yeah... From now on this is how my blog will be. Every time my tone changes I'll have a different Emote. What Do you think? (And it better not be Rude) ( And just for future ref. I probably won't use this many per post... I'm just showin' Em off) //.Tek

Well, I'm sure others have beat me to it (Thanks to my wonderfully slow internet..) But Brickshelf is Back! =DD Unfortunately We can't upload anything just yet due to server errors (I'm guessing that's why it was down in the fitst place...) Anyway, I'd like to turn this Blog into a place that features my random findings on B-Shelf. So, here's the first one: A Mini StormTrooper Bionicle MOC Gallery I happen to stumble across this one and though it was kinda cool, so what do you think (Remember it's NOT mine =P) See ya 'round! //.Tek

Alright, so I was browsing B-Shelf and came across this monstrous thing. Yes, monstrous is the best word for it... Gallery I thought it was a magnificent use various Techniques (Including the ever popular SNOT [studs not on top] Technique). Say, I probably should whip something up about the LEGO techniques I've learned... Anyway, See Ya'll 'Round. //.Tek

*Sigh* I'm going through brickshelf withdrawals right now... Over the past few months I've become addicted to that site... I have at least one page open 24/7. Yeah, I just like randomly browsing the folders. There are some pretty cool things to be found. When the site comes back online I'll show you a few... For now, We wait... In other news I'm working on formatting my blog Expect good things =D //.Tek
