So awhile back, I posted I had collected all original 100 2001 Bionicle masks (aka, the ones from any 2001 set that was commercially available, minus the red Ruru). Of course, that's without the misprints and other sharp rarities such as a 14 karat gold Hau, but those are sadly going to be out of my reach for a good long while. Once I finished amassing this collection, I asked the million dollar question: How do I display it? Well, make a plaque like everyone else, of course! Wait, I ran out o
About 2 weeks ago, my boss' son came to the studio with about 3 bins in hand. Each one filled to the top with Bionicle. "What's that," I asked. "I'm selling my Bionicle to my dad," he replies. "I'll give you first dibs, though." He knows me too well. So I sift through the first bin, and I notice a pattern. There's -plenty- of Kanohi in here. We're talking A LOT. It was in this moment I elected to go ahead and buy all the Kanohi from him. Literally every one I could find. So I did. And
Whew! Okay, so... for the past 6 weeks or so, I've been swamped at work. I've had to build 10 large skyscrapers (4 to 9 feet in height, pure Lego no gluing) plus set up for another show in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (which we handled, the client loved it, they want more work, yay us). This is literally the first night I've had where the next day I get to do absolutely nothing. I'm going to be seeing Man of Steel in the morning. NO SPOILERS KTHX. (Cue the several "HE'S FROM KRYPTON!", "HE'S CLARK
Note, this not everything that I own on both fronts. Just stuff I had out. So yeah, I have too much stuff But I want Justice League: Doom next. Oh and David Gilmour: Live in Gdansk on video, Delicate Sound of Thunder, and a few more movies.
But in reality? I'm working on the island project from home. And I was too tired to work anyway. Soo... how's dem ToyFair pics? Yeah and stuff. Oppression from Admins and stuff. *running out of blogging material*
So now I'm left with a dilemma, really. I'm quickly coming up on my sister's graduation (on saturday). I wanna design a congratulations card for her. What should go in it? XD (And do not fear, she does not even glance at BZP... or even BS01. Nothing said here will be read by her.) Also IWANNASELLYOUAHAT

We got the trench on when I left, but I got a photo from sooner than that. When I left, Dan began installing our ribs across the top, then panels go next. I'll have a new photo by Monday.
Now when I say "For a more pure Floyd listening," nothing can obviously replace just listening to the albums. I recommend that for anyone, of course. But if you just want a good sampling of Floyd songs? Cholie and I came up with two good playlist options, and what albums to find them all from. For our Album selections: Astronomy Domine (From Piper at the Gates of Dawn) See Emily Play (a Single released by Floyd, it's findable on multiple Best Of CDs, and probably elsewhere) Set the Con
So, my boss (Dan Parker, if you're new to my blog) asks a valid question, one I feel we should address to you all. The island is now looking to be 10 feet (120 inches, 12 32x32 baseplates) in length, from Po-Wahi to Le-Wahi and all its surrounding islands. We're anticipating the width will be 5 feet (60 inches, 6 baseplates) or so, and he was going to design little block figure Toa and Matoran, averaging about 2 inches for Toa, one inch for Matoran. A few friends have suggested I'm exaggeratin
So let's briefly break down my sleep schedule from the past few weeks... Every day prior to last night: 1-2AM sleep. This is in between working on BS01/HS01, moving the files from one server to the new, cancelling the prior one, getting the new one tricked out, and then moving on to webcomics and/or internet videos of the funny kind (no ponies >: O) and generic sit down and talk to friends online. Last night was different. I was asleep at 9 PM. No webcomics, no funny videos, no friends. I
So, there's an upcoming project on the way, and it requires numbers be put in it. My boss looked at me and said "I wanna put numbers in here in the geekiest way possible." So I came up with one: 10111011100000 Translated, from base 2 binary, that's 12000. The highest value we had to insert on this model. 11 numbers are going on this model, and they go from (0)2000 to 12000 in thousand increments. Keep in mind it all has to be one color. So how do I build it? Very simply. That's how. T
I'll never ever EVER watch that show again! ... Oh wait, I never did anyway 8D Anyway in all seriousness I'm feeling a ton better now, my chest doesn't hurt as badly, and I look forward to getting back to work tomorrow. What am I working on tomorrow, you may wonder? BORG. AND DEATH STAR. AND STUFF FOR A CLIENT NAMED MEECRO SAFT. I think we got that name wrong on the form. I guess we'll find out when the check comes in 8D But in all seriousness I was really sick D:
It's finally coming. ONE DAY. BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. It is clearly a sign. They want me to not work that weekend. I must answer the calling! "Welcome to Black Mesa Research Facility. The time is 8:20 AM."
I have begun uploading THE LAST 488 FILES FOR BS01. This is a monumental moment IMO. Once I'm done, we can see what we're truly missing, and I can still go get them. Also no news on the new processor and mobo yet.
... So I might be going. Depends on funding and/or events leading up to the show. ... So what should I build in celebration of my return from a 2 year exile? XD
Sorry, I just had to do it.
If you get the joke, more power to you.
Otherwise, you'll be wondering why I asked I can have Hero Recon rather stupidly.
But yeah, looks interesting. I'll probably download LDD later to try it out *dedicated LDRAW user*
