That show looks epic-random... will add it to the watch list. As for getting stuff done, I find it really depends on who you're dealing with. Normally though you can generally go straight to the decision maker. By the same token, maybe not so much in this instance but in others, it's often said that a lower ranked person has a better bargaining position. Where a high ranked person has to make a decision on the spot, the office gopher can say "Ok, I'm not sure, will have to ask my boss", walks out of the room for h... ( コメントを見る » )

Don't think I've ever heard of a cram school here in Australia, though there are personal tutors if you're having trouble with something. University also offeres the option of a "summer semester" in some courses for those that want to get ahead. But seriously, you'd have to be some sort of masochist. ( コメントを見る » )

Well, we'll hit 40C on a bad day in summer. Our house is well insulated and has good cross-ventillation... but no air-con (and probably never will, I'm against air-con on priciple). Generally I just try not to buy figures that look like they're going to have a leaning problem. Which probably means a month's paycheck would go on more figures =P ( コメントを見る » )

Definately want. Not normally into the whole "goth" thing, but this is just an awesome outfit. Might have to cancel that Ironman pre-order though to afford it... ( コメントを見る » )

Interesting looking anime, but wow those outfits look cold. Anyone who's been in an open cockpit above 1000' knows that, unless you're well inside the tropics, it isn't exactly the warmest of places. My vote's with Exoskeletons. ( コメントを見る » )

That's gotta be one of the best ideas for advertising I've ever seen, AWESOME! Seriously, how would you pay rego, on-roads and CTP though... ( コメントを見る » )

Dabble around a bit, but nowhere near enough to go reccomending rigs to anyone. I'd hazard a guess the shutter life thing is true. It's a moving part (unlike a regular digital camera, which just saves an image) and mechanical things tend to wear out after awhile. Best guess is you could probably extend the life by replacing the shutter spring or something. Man, that uber-wide angle lense really warps the perspective, looks cool. ( コメントを見る » )

My first figure would have been the Race Queen version of Tessa from FMP! by Atelier-Sai http://www.hlj.com/product/ATS82050 As to why, it was a combination of things. I was a big Tessa fan at the time, I had just come home from the pub, she was on sale and I had a friend with even worse financial sense than me on the other end of MSN =P The hobby just sort of snowballed from there. I'm not really sure why I buy them. Partly I think it's an a... ( コメントを見る » )

I don't know if it's counted as "short term memory", but when I was doing promo courses in Cadets and didn't have the luxury of an alarm clock (generally most of us were up about an hour before we were meant to be to get things done, would have been in strife if we were caught) I would try and build a spinning visual model of the time I wanted to get up in my head. More difficult than it sounds cause I'd loose it every time I thought about something else. Seemed to work though. That garage could only have been... ( コメントを見る » )

That's actually a really nice photo. I like the fact that everyone around her is in dark colours and she isn't, really makes her stand out. ( コメントを見る » )

Hmm, getting a Crimson Skies flashback off some of those plane designs. Definately bumping that one a little higher up the watch list though. ( コメントを見る » )

Sweet shots... ...what's concerning me is that I'm finding the couch more interesting than the girl, man I want a full size one of those. I wonder how hard it would be to make one up... ( コメントを見る » )

Yeah, I think I'll just stick with locking my doors... spend the rest on home and contents insurance. I've seen friends' houses with all the whizz bang gadgetry, and as far as I can tell all it does is make life difficult when you come home and just want to collapse into bed. I don't think the little sticker even makes that much of a detterent. One set of friends had something similar to this mob "looking after" them and their place got knocked over three times.

Yeah, got a couple of Be@rbricks... Daft Punk ones and that vinyl Canti from FLCL. Yam Roll's onto something good there with the 3D machines. Just be warned though, they're not perfect. 3d Rapid prototyping tends to be a) expensive and b) still needs finishing work. Because the machine works in layers you wind up with a stepped effect. Basically, after it comes out of the machine you'll have to set to with sandpaper and filler and make sure your 3D model is adjusted for the stepping effect. They can be somewhat fragile as...

That's sweet. I never got further than putting little (subtle) "eX-D" decals just ahead of the rear wheel arches. If I had a modern I might try it, but I couldn't bring myself to to do that to a classic, no matter how much I love anime. Besides, the Alfa club, mechanic and folks would probably shoot me. The Lotus mob would laugh themselves silly... then shoot me. Since 99.9% of the Australian anime-geek community probably doesn't know what eX-Driver is (let alone the general populace) I think I'm pretty sa... ( コメントを見る » )

Eep, I see Guild Wars on your shelf... now there's a fantastic way to utterly destroy your social life (speaking from experience)... Sweet setup. Interesting program as well. ( コメントを見る » )

Argh ya beat me to the Big Ad... ...Tooheys didn't do bad either though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubfo8iUH2YQ ( コメントを見る » )

Sooo... how to we get citizenship in Israel? Seriously, that smile's a winner. ( コメントを見る » )

Herniated disks ain't fun. I remember my mother having one when I was in primary school, she was wandering around on crutches for awhile there. As for my own health, doing pretty well. I used to be the fast agile bloke on our football team, but I doubt I would be anymore =P Still, my job requires me to run around a hospital for a couple of hours a shift pushing meal trolleys, and if I've uni and work on the same day I'll park the car at work and walk the couple of kilometres into the city along the river. Eating's hea... ( コメントを見る » )

Great find. This game is such an awesome way to kill time. I definately need to get the full version. ( コメントを見る » )

I used too, but not anymore. Partly because it makes the item more bulky (I have very limited carriage space) and because they generally get on my nerves after awhile anyway. That said I don't really mistreat gear such that it needs a case, and I generally try to buy more resilient equipment that can take a bit of punishment anyway. ( コメントを見る » )

Oh yeah... Corrugated roofing as a building material! There used to be a house built like that (or at least reparied like that) on the way to my old school. The surrounding businesses and residents were constantly at the owner to fix it up or knock it down. The bloke however we adamant that he owned the land and would therefore do what he liked on it. Four years on and it's still there. So yeah, we've got a run-down area or two, mostly around the outer suburbs. Housing prices close to the city are far too expensive to let &quo... ( コメントを見る » )

Well, I'm gonna take a stab at naming that Dino here, and say that that second one is muttaburrasaurus (or however you spell it). I'm only guessing by the thumbs and that that's the only mildly obscure one I can name 'cause it was discovered a few hundred clicks from where I live. And where I was born and have never moved from. Props not not following your father and branching out on your own as well. Winding up in the same industry as a relative can be difficult as well. You forever are being reffered to as "X...
