Journal Journal: What would you stream to your tv if you could? 8
Just a nutty question this morning: if you could easily/cheaply stream anything to your tv, what would it be?

Why am I unable to mod things???? I click the mod but nothing happens. Brilliant.

"For the benefit of the Lupus Alliance of America, John Scalzi, Wil Wheaton and Subterranean Press are running a fan fiction contest, in which contestants write a 400 to 2,000 word story describing the picture above. Any form of fan fiction is acceptable except slash. The winner of the contest will be paid for their story (10 cents a word), win a prize pack of books from Subterranean Press, and will have their story published in a special electronic chapbook featuring stories about the painting, written by Scalzi, Wheaton, Catherynne Valente and Patrick Rothfuss, to be published later this year, with profits to benefit the Lupus Foundation of America. E-mail the stories with the text in the e-mail to fanfic@scalzi.com by 11:59pm Eastern, June 30, 2010. One entry per person."
One must see the image at the link above, as it cannot be sufficiently described with words.
I posted this story but I have no idea if it will ever get accepted. Maybe they already posted this story, but I am too lazy to go check.
Culling through my books/DVD/PS2 collection and seeing how much I can get for trade-in at Amazon. Anyone here done this before?
Apparently I have several DVDs that are worth way more than I thought they would be btw!
So for our next assignment in my pipeline class we got tasked with playing around with Houdini, which it turns out is pretty spiffy. Hopefully I will have some new cool thing to post soon
One huge upside of Houdini is it is a perfectly capable 3D animation (with effects) tool that has a free learning version and a cheap ($99) Apprentice version.
Oh and it runs on Linux/Windows/Mac, which is also a huge plus:

Since I have been eating healthy peanut butter (i.e. only contains peanuts) I've had issues with oil sitting on top of the peanut butter upon first opening the jar. Turning the jar over prior to opening and stirring (with great difficulty) helps somewhat, but inevitably the first several uses have too much peanut oil while the peanut butter sitting on the bottom is too hard. The solution? Two jars of peanut butter! Once I reach the hard rocky bottom layer, I simply open the second jar and pour any excess peanut oil into the first jar and poof, problem solved.
Yet another rather rough animation for class. Yeah it ends abruptly (youtube cut off the last tiny bit), but as usual I ran out of time (as it is, it is considerably longer than the class requirements anyway). Enjoy!
Anyone have experience with anything like this? Cygwin seems like the way to go...
I'm liking the look of this all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier thingamajigger. And it even has built in network capabilities, so that even when I am on linux I can print/scan
Also, good grief I hate the new useless
Rooster sketch for class. It has been quite some time since I sketched on paper with charcoal.
I don't know if I can get below 200lbs by the end of the year, but damn I sure as hell will by my next birthday. I started out at around 240 in July, so if I can make it through the holiday season without packing on weight I might still make it.

I can't believe it has been almost a year since I submitted anything new to deviantArt. Just a quickie sketch for class.
