Alright, I'm really excited. In one more week, I will FINALLY have my own WP7. I've been waiting for it SINCE 2010. I'm pumped. Trivia: I once considered an Android device. I thought it was the perfect answer to Apple's dominance. And to a degree, it still is... if it wasn't so fragmented. So yeah, WP7. Yay me. Anything else I forgot? No. Okay. *walks away* .... *returns* OH RIGHT, MORE DEATH STAR PHOTO! Yeah, I mounted the dish. Yay me ^^
Just in time, too. My current phone isn't doing so well. Also yes, I'm building a replica hoop skirt out of LEGO. Good on ya, Xaeraz. (... Yes it's a Death Star.)
Yes, we're working on a Death Star. Yes, that's what this is. And yes, this is probably the largest model I've built to date. And yes, I'm taking it to BrickCon.
Would love opinions. They'd be ready in time for Bricks Cascade. Also of note, both QR codes work even in this preview. They'd be two seperate designs by the way.
I am now the proud member of the Blue Lantern Corps, White Lantern Corps, and Indigo Tribe. Which side should I join next? I've got 6 to go (Green will be rather tricky to track down, so avoid it for now.)
So yeah, paid my $52. Still debating how I'll get the island down there, but it's only five boxes so far. I could easily wrap all of them with packing saran wrap, take it on a train, but it'd be faster to just have it driven down. I anticipate a good event, but I also expect it'll be different than BrickCon. Of specific note, I haven't been down to Portland since I was about 8 or 9, so this will be different for me. ... Meantime, still working on a large project. I can reveal it'll be for Br
This image currently represents a specific system I came up with. For one, gives me an excuse to show off my Lantern Corps symbols. Second, it is tracking the rings I have purchased via many sources. Basically speaking, DC Comics' Collectibles division (formerly known as DC Direct) released nine rings and lantern "power batteries" as collectibles in 2011. I'm now collecting each one, or will attempt to. My image above tracks what I now own (or will own very shortly, due to purchases). So far
So, this is mostly a post about apologies, especially given I'd rather have had it done weeks, even months ago. But, this is what held me back. I can only explain via visual aid, so here they are. On picture one, you can clearly see 16 folders. These are labeled 0-9, and a-f. Now, these are the base folders BS01 images were under. It is all sorted in this format. Were all the files in these 16 folders, I woulda been finished a long time ago. Sadly, this is not the case. This is F
And I won. Though I am not photographed (for obvious reasons, I'm not the owner ) I did 90% of the work on this ferris wheel. And yes, it's fully motorized. It has 2 XL Motors on it. There is a video on my account on that one video site, just look under swertmastra. I might throw it up on Vimeo so I can embed it here later, haven't decided yet.
So turns out the boss needs a few tables for an event coming up in the building we're at. Guess where 3 of his five tables are currently tied up at. So tomorrow we'll probably mark where each island section goes on the back in a grid, then take the pieces and relocate them to an area in that room away from the tables we need, then move those out of the room. With any luck, not a single piece will be disturbed. And at least he isn't touching it until I get there. So we know it won't break.
We're facing Houston Dynamo in Seattle. I'm thinking I should make a Sounders-related image for every blog post like this. For now, I can only post a non-Sounders related image: Yes, I helped make these.
So, Xccj posted a few photos, so now it's time I post the BTS pics 8D Poor Jaller. Legoitis; Symptoms include redness, dimples resembling a LEGO studded baseplate pattern, and loss of feeling. Treatments include not leaning on LEGO baseplates, and taking a quick break while leaning on another part of the table not covered by LEGO baseplates. A very well designed outline of our decided-upon design for Papa Nihu Reef. Thar be easter eggs here 8D Xccj spent part of the second day on expandi
And we're off to a slow start, as usual. I have to build the volcano (won't take long) and then we build Mt. Ihu, then decorate 47 more baseplates with plates and bricks. In other words, we've got a lot of work ahead of us x_x But hey, MATA NUI : D
Considering making this a Sounders Blog until I run out of premiership and can't update. And why not? Nobody reads it anyway Also, 2-1 against a team from Mexico in the CONCACAF Champions League, Quarterfinal first leg. Second leg to be in Mexico. And no, I don't expect any more Sounders fans here. Sigh.
Back in early November 2011, Xccj and I discussed in detail the idea of building the island of Mata Nui in system brick. We debated many times over how we could do it, eventually deciding on how to do it and where to get the material. That's when I told my boss Dan Parker. On March 12th through the 16th, we finally build it. And you're all invited to help : D Basically, if you live in the Pacific Northwest, able to travel to Tacoma, and want to help out building a system-based island, plea
I think I'm going to obtain ultimate geekhood soon. I'm planning to listen to all 14 Studio release Pink Floyd albums this week, during my bus rides to work and back home, without listening to (or attempting to not listen to) anything in between these periods of time. From the beginning to end, IN ORDER, regardless of how I feel about any of it. I'm also timing the morning albums to end EXACTLY when I get to work. (This is 71 minutes, by the way). I'm working on a schedule already: Piper
So a few friends of mine online decided to debate, briefly, what would be the #1 song you would pick from The Beatles to introduce the band to someone who (for some weird reason) never heard of them. To clarify, I don't mean their best or greatest, rather the song that best defines them and their career. That's arguably even tougher than the best song to some. So what do you guys think? (While we're at it, if you can think of the same for any other band you can think of, feel free.)
So I had a brief discussion with my boss and others in the studio, and we discussed in detail the Bionicle MOCs area in conventions such as BrickCon. So a good question came up, is the theme of Bionicle at a convention supposed to be about the theme of Bionicle, or the parts that come with it? So I ask the community, do you consider Bionicle theme at conventions (BrickCon, BrickFair, etc.) to be about the theme of Bionicle, or the parts used? Would using Hero Factory parts be considered taboo
