Walked to the gym, and got here a little early. Time for an inspirational cup of tea, because I’m growing up to be an old lady.

Felecia’s flower shop is where I get my fix. It’s been on this street corner since the dawn of time.

That was cool and all, but I really missed the sun… so I broke down as many wooden posts as I could find and got as much dirt as I could easily get and…

View from inside some random underwater air pocket.

And here is my house (garden is in process…)
Now, my only fear is that without some sort of stead supply of meat… I will starve to death… I can only eat so many zombies in the abandoned mine below… I wonder how much land I will need to add, before a spawn point appears for animals… (or creepers, I guess).

I have left the world of advertising, and have gone client-side.
Although I loved the teams I worked with (and free candy from Wonka) all things must end.

Goodbye, ActionScript. Hello, jQuery.

My new favorite site: Online-Convert.com

They even have their own API, if you want to make your own little tools, using their system.

Where dynamic text meets PhotoShop design text only the Kerning for the font is a nightmare as the “T”,”A”,”V”,”W” aren’t kerned properly and either smear against neighboring letters or create wide chasms of empty space.

I suggested, that next time we visit: http://dafont.com
Where the fonts run free and usually have all characters included.

If nothing else, we can create our own font using online tools such as: http://www.yourfonts.com/ , http://fontstruct.com/ , http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator , or spend a week in Corel Draw–with only a bottle of whiskey and a loaded pistol keeping you company, just like we did in the old days.

McSlaughter: Johnson was a good cop, they are going to pay.
Chief: Johnson died last week, this time it was Hoolihan.
McSlaughter: …
Chief: Tall, curly hair… had a wife and a kid.
McSlaughter: Black guy?
Chief: No, the other one, you’re thinking of Hausman.
McSlaughter:  Hoolihan as a good cop, they are going to pay.
Chief: You seem to loose a partner every couple of days. Quite frankly, it’s been horrible for morale. Honestly, do you even know who I am talking about?
McSlaugher: Does crime know who you’re talking about?
Chief: What?
McSlaughter: This city is infested with the scum of the city. It’s time I de-infested it with a brand of justice you desk jockeys don’t have the balls to dish out. Well, I’ll dish it out because I’m not afraid to take the law under the line!
Chief: Yeah, the guys and I have been talking, none of us can figure out what the hell that even means.
McSlaughter: I might be extreme, but so is lady justice. And her and I have been talking, and we think maybe it’s time for crime to be brought down… under the…
Chief: Line, right. Maybe you should see a shrink.
McSlaughter: What the <bleep> did you just say?
Chief: Oh, god, I meant therapist!
McSlaughter: God<bleep> heightist mother<bleep>, <bleep> you all, I’ll be in my trailer, talking with my manager.
 

The main thing is the new pencil set (black and blue lead): “K World”? Mechanical Drawing Pencils– they are stupidly fun to draw with:

Guess who is in that picture and I’ll give you a nickel (shipping costs not included).

The markers go on like a coat of paint, they are pretty awesome as well–the photo of the marker test taken from my iPhone is just a smear.

The white pencils for highlight are good… however there is something that is damn near perfect (besides whiteout which is too unpredictable) is white ink (next pay-check).
