busy busy
The general lack of attention paid to this blog can pretty much be blamed on two art classes. As one of them results in something I can’t really put online, here’s some recent pictures from the other. planes! cars! ducks!
self portraits
For my digital photo class. I like these: https://www.flickr.com/photos/maxelman/2211789066/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/maxelman/2211787622/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/maxelman/2211788410/
birthday birthday
After having a pretty rad birthday in Boulder, CO with my family (slaying dragons, raiding bookstores, afternoon tea…), there was of course need to have a gathering back at home. Phones were dialed, people were gathered, and there was a great sushi dinner at Masako. Sushi boats, champagne, and all the lights of the fine…
Christmas in Oz
No, not the HBO prison series, but the magical one where houses fall onto evil witches. This holiday-time brought snow, barking puppies, and a little portal to Oz, right on our kitchen table. A portal made out of gingerbread. The general idea was to abandon the instructions and make a house worthy of the most…
mini game review – portal
The whole package is called the Orange Box and it’s Valve’s latest 5-pack with all sorts of Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 goodness. The game that is getting all the attention though? Portal. A short, two or so hour game, the premise is simple – you’re an unwilling test participant in some sort…
missing: one fish
It would seem that my turtle trio was hungry. Or Brown Fish #2 perfected his jumping skills and is now living in a puddle outside. Either way, my pet count is now -1. And he didn’t even say goodbye. How rude.
content management systems! hooray!
So, in an effort to replace the Zope/Plone craziness of kzsc.org, I’ve been looking into CMS alternatives. I know – exciting, right? It’s been a whole lot of uploading files, changing permissions and using the wonderful new tabbed terminal in Leopard. I’ve set up a few on this site so far, with only one looking…
Goodbye OiNK. You’ll be missed!
Well that stinks. Guess we’ll all have to go back to the old way of doing things.. For now at least. It was sure fun while it lasted though. Update: this is a useful page about the situation
Da Daaaa, Da Da Da da da da da
Hell yes. You might have noticed that I love Katamari Damacy (the little guy on the bottom of the page). And there’s a new game! New Katamari Damacy! This time with more beauty! And on the Xbox?!? Yep – Beautiful Katamari was finally released, and it rocks. It’s high-def, adds new multiplayer and online features,…
in rainbows
While this is probably the #1 blog post today in the blogosphere, I thought I’d pitch in as well. At about 10:30pm PST yesterday, I received an email I had been hoping to get for quite some time. (er, 10 days..) w.a.s.t.e sent me a download link, and within a few minutes I was listening…
