Well, I'm working on a totally new mocing project, which I'm calling "Back to the Basics." In This, I will be attempting to re-moc every set, or at least one of every clone set, up to 2004. This includes Rahi, Toa, etc. I already have a new matoran design I'm going to use, and It'll be nice.
I've already finished Tahu, Jala, Huki, Onepu, Takua, and Matoro. There are a few more Matoran I'll do along the way, from MNOLG and MNOLG 2. I'm also doing the ussals from MNOLG, etc.
Just some teasers
First off, I know that's not a word.
First time I've posted or written a blog entry or posted in a while, but I've got to say, this thing with GregF is absolutely pathetic. I mean, he decides to leave because you bunch of kids pester him and just do things utterly stupid, and yet you try to MAKE him come back? I'd expect better.
Check out these two topics.
Now, if he decided to leave because of feeling pressured, do you honestly think trying to pressure him into coming back will help
Well, according to the premier members page (http://bzpower.com/index.php?go=premiers), I will have been a premier member of BZP for 19 years by December 31, 2008. WOOOT!!!!
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXXDXD
My entry is near the bottom of the page on the right side.
So, I was talking with a really close friends of mine about our past, more youthful obsessions. Her's ("hers"?) was Pokemon. Mine was Bionicle. Now, we're both major bookworms. She said that she considered reading the books in elementary, and decided against it. Then, she asked me what they were about. After about half a second of deliberation, I said that it's "like Zoroastrianism, but with robots, supernatural powers, and a religion-thing".
There it is, folks'. Bionicle in a nutshell.
Okeeees.
So, you all know how I was working on the Bionicle Media Center.
Those same among you probably know that it's development has ground to a halt.
Why?
Well, even fewer of you know that I am a paid graphics and web designer.
Here are a few examples of my work.

And, the newest, in which I have delved farther into Javascript than I prefer to (and due to it being javascript, ONLY USE INTERNET EXPLORER 8, SAFARI 3-4, OR FIREFOX 3),

Axalara is epic. Epic. Epic. Epic. EPIC.
'tis epic.
...
'Nuff said.
I've modded it quite a bit, and I got rid of that awful, primate-like rider.
I'm about to go take some pics of my Tahu olda moc, Jala, and the Nui-Rama, so... well... I dunno what else to say.
Bai bai ppl B)

Okay. I normally try not to complain about the sets, but I can't resist here.
I hate them.
Well, thats a bit strong.
I dislike them.
First off, they have a strange Knights Kingdom feel to them which I dislike.
Also, once again, to a large extent, they are clones!
The small sets are pretty much just re-colors of the avatoran (entry on the conjugation of prefix+matoran coming soon ), and the canister sets use the inika skeleto
Well, this is terribly ironic. I got back from France. I'm at home. We were on a small, 36 person plane where we could not keep our carry-ons, and they had them at the back of the plane. Afterwards, my computer's screen was broken, the disc drive mangled, and completely rendered useless. I have an appointment with tech support tomorrow, so I won't be on for a while - I'm typing this from my mother's computer now.
I GOT CONTACTSSS!!!!! You know the kind you see out of? I keep trying to push up my glasses, BUT THEY AREN'T EVEN THERE! :D:D:D
I CAN SEE CLEARLY!

Okay, so some of you (my peepoles! ) know that I'm really busy. Busy with a making a portfolio and website for an architectural firm. Well, to start, we've agreed on $50 per sheet. They have more than 20, possibly 40. AND, I'm making them a website for $15 per hour. Epic, no?
I also got my savings and checking (paypal purposes only XD) accounts set up for online banking today, as I do work with people in other states and countries, it is the best way for them to pay me. I had no idea how muc
Well first off, I vectorized Flanders for fun.
Also, the new Macbooks, Macbook Pros, and especially the new Cinema Displays SUCK. They are ugly. Whoever thought of Aluminum, black, and gloss and got drunk on it should be shot. Even is it was Ives.
Czar shipped the kaukau today, and I have a reserved Yellow Kaukau waiting for me over in the UK.
Okay. This is epic. Very epic.
With all the free time on my hands, I decided to try and code some things which I havn't messed with before.
For instance, a media center.
The flash episodes (with working scripts), the ghost animations, vahki animations, and whatever games I can get working. This will be epic.
btw, yes, I do have working 2002-2003 episodes, which are not protected.
As most know, I'm a maccie. As most know, I try to code software. As most know, I make icons in Photoshop. As most know, I code websites.
I am part of the staff of OPT-6 Software (I'm only responsible for the site a graphics, I didn't do the content or code the apps). Our face app is called Kameleon, which is a theming app for macs (10.5 and up). I have just finished the icons for version 2.0, and it IS EPIC.
I MADE THEM!!!
EDIT - The app should be out before next wednesday. We hope.
Okay, this is like stamp collecting, but even more trivial. jk
So, I now have a green ruru and trans-yellow Kaukau coming in from Denmark!
Czar shipped his, and the ones from New Zealand should be arriving this week. I'm also chatting with Czar about trading for his blue Matatu.
If anyone would like me to make them some custom stuff like I have in the post below, or have had, then PM me the photo you want and specify the part which would be visible, and I can do it.
