Up Too Early... California Tomorrow

Meh. It's been roughly a week since my last post. So. Two things.
First, do not go drinking at night when you have to be up early the next day. It makes life so much more difficult.
Second, I'm heading to Orange County tomorrow, going to see two friends I haven't seen in a while. Kind of miss them actually. For the hell of it, here's the links to their MySpace pages. :)

Vince Breen and Andy Suiter. (They can hate me later for using their full names.)

BTW, Vince is not on my friends list. Simply because he has a virus or something that makes him continuously post bulletins about ring tones. Unless he's doing it on purpose. Either way, it bugs the hell outta me.

Aurora Tutorial

Ok, so I decided to try another random Photoshop tutorial. This last one, called Aurora, involved a simply web page design. While not technically difficult, it did allow me to learn how to seamlessly incorporate tiled backgrounds with a title graphic. The link to my end product can be found here. Don't ask for a screenshot, I'm feeling lazy this time around. :)

Movie Audition

It's been a few days, but I figure I should post on what's going on tomorrow. This could possibly be the end-all of the wierd stuff I've done. I'm auditioning for a movie. Yup, yours truly is trying for movie stardom. We'll see how far I get. I think there is a website for the movie, but I'm not sure what it is. I did, however find this: Movie Thread There'll be more posts later on about what happened. :)

Create Your Own Planet

Look at that, I managed to make my very first planet with Photoshop. Not too bad of a job, if I do say so myself. If you'd like to give it a try, I found the tutorial at this site. Pretty easy to follow, and looks damned cool. :)

Webcam Up

Ok, so I got a bug in my shorts, and a need to avoid writing an essay paper, to put my web cam up on my site. The code is very rough & tumble, cut & paste javascript off of some random web archives. The program I found, however is a very tidy little piece of work. It's called booruWebCam, and can be found at www.booru.net. All it does is post a JPG picture via FTP, pulled from a video source on your computer. Fairly customizable and perfect for what I needed. Turn it on while I'm here, and y'all get to see my shining face. :)

Passing and Demi-Gods

Two things:

1. Passed my Statistics class with a C-, woohoo! Even managed to get a B+ on the final exam. Here's to not doing half your homework and still getting by.

2. A friend of mine is aspiring to the position of Demi-God. Particularly the Demi-God of Wine, Women, & Song. Do I need to say more than a chicken quesadilla and a lap dance all within the same hour? I think not. Especially when I didn't have to pay for either. :) Hats off my friend, and may you always avail.

Annoying Plagiarism

As an airline employee of 6 years, I tend to notice when things go a bit awry in the industry. As a life-long computer geek, I get annoyed when I see something like this:

This is a screenshot of the the current Skywest Airlines website.


And this is a screenshot of the Mesa Air Group website, posted only a few days ago.


Notice any similarities? Yeah, so do I. There used to be a similar situation between Mesa's go! Airline website and Spirit Air. Though the similarities are still there, they are not as strong as when first posted.

So Much, For A Weekend

What to say.. My friend Jen had a birthday party at her brother's house. Motley Crue themed, of all things. It turned out pretty good, but I didn't get any pictures worth a damn. Everyone seemed intent on partying with the lights out. If I end up getting any pics, I'll edit them into this post. Other than that, cleaned my fish tanks and spent a fair amount of time on EVE. Boring I know, but I've gotta save cash some how.
