Some Mornings I Just Don't Feel Like Slaying Dragons.

I read that on a bumper sticker the other day and the last three days have been awful days. I had to drive 70 miles an hour on Platte to keep up with that dude to snap this picture(the sticker in question is the one closest to me):
Brace yourself because I think this post is mostly just a bunch of pictures. Here you see an axe head that broke in half when I was splitting wood for a client. You can see the piece that broke off laying there in the sun:
While working in the back yard the day before yesterday, I heard a strange noise. Looking over the fence I discovered that I was an auditory witness of a car accident so I jumped the fence and walked over there to find out some stuff:
The chic was driving when her husband told her he wanted a divorce so she swerved wildly and took out this light pole which I didn't even know was on that corner:
Tonight, I finished a commission gig for a dentist in Florida. She will be using cheap android tablets as status boards. So if you are in Exam Room 1 with a patient, you hit the corresponding button and that button lights up on all the other devices on the network. Pretty spiffy! You can see it running on four different devices here:
Final design looks like this:
 Designed after this:


I took both of these pictures this morning. The first one shows a bird on a light. Note that the teardrop shape part of the light is roundabout 2 feet long so that bird is friggen large. He or she could carry a small child methinks. The second depicts a nastygram on a door where an eviction occurred.
I made it 41 years without ever being sting by a bee. Wednesday that long streak was broken and I partook of three bee stings- one is on my head above my eye. That one swelled up like Rocky Balboa. I took not a picture! I may be mildly allergic because I still feel dreadful. If I still look like ass in the morning, I may share photographic evidence on the morrow! Or not.

vBonsai -Video Tutorial at the Bottom!

A menacing looking vine grown on my phone from an algorithm I wrote for my next android app:  Here is the same algorithm with branches, texture, and leaves! I drew the leaves in Microsoft Paint, but the bark is real bark from a picture edited in Gimp for the shadow, seamlessness, and color(And you can't see if from here but the bark of that tree was covered in cicadas). Note the draw function knows when to 180 the shadow in the right direction so shadows aren't on the top of the branches. Not all of the trees look this good. Many are scraggly or unbalanced. Meh, it's a work in progress! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! Got the gameplay mapped out. You will grow your tree from a seed and care for it and shape it to your whim using real(virtually) bonsai techniques. Watering and feeding schedules will be determined based on seasons and whether or not the tree is in training(stress) and health, etc Most recent emanation:  Whew! The

Sqeeqee

I think I have 200 accounts scattered all over the internet including 10 or so forums, 3 facebook accounts, a twitter account, google plus account, like 10 emails, 50 places I have ordered from- on and on! Why not add a sqeeqee account? I am not going to say that I am too lazy(as it is en vogue to say so) to check it out because I am not. I just have other priorities. Such as writing about something I am not going to research and know nothing about. Now THAT is important! That being said, I know mostly nothing about Sqeeqee.com. What I do know is that it is yet another social network that seems to be an amalgam of facebooklike features and ebaylike features and several others I am unaware of. I found it as the result of my marketing efforts for FlaTank and joined up. The appeal that it has for me is that it is still in beta testing. I am still seeing php errors in the ranking box sometimes and the claim to be 99% error free at this point. Usually stuff like this escapes me unti

Fate of the Furious Ending Scene

I was watching the ending scene where everyone is hanging out of the rooftop. As the camera pulled away from the actors I noticed something strange. The focal length of the camera was changed as the camera pulled away.  I decided to figure out where that was. I knew it was in New York City somewhere because of the establishing shots. After watching the sweeping shots in and out of the picnic scene and looking for visual clues, I found it: 767 10th Ave, New York, NY 10019  It's the building wherein resides Sonny's Groceries.   I wish I would have captured some images from the DVD but the library wanted it back. Before that, however, I matched up my view from Google Earth to fit the frame as best matches it in the movie.  You will have to watch it yourself to see how well I did. The whole city is a CG model and that rooftop is a fiction. Also, the tall building behind the one in the scene was made much shorter or removed altogether so the twin Clinto
