Another Jack...

There was some odd rumor that Zac Efron was going to take over Johnny Depp's crucial role in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 4. I'm not a fanatic but that can't be right, right?


Jack Sparrow by ~tamumu61 on deviantART

I think the face didn't take that long, but I procrastinated on the rest for weeks. Though pencil is generally easy, making the dark parts dark is so hard and takes a bit of unlaziness, which I don't have...

SonicStage 5.1

New version of SonicStage 5.1 (Japanese only as far as I know, but then again you shouldn't be sad because non-Japanese Walkmen aren't locked to SS) was released by Sony Japan a couple of weeks ago, and I definitely had to follow my own instructions to get rid of the stupid promotions frame again. At least the same procedure worked, but let's see how many versions it will take until I get sick of fixing it...

LUNARR

I just went to a talk by Toru Takasuka and Hideshi Hamaguchi of LUNARR, Japan. Coincidentally, I've subscribed to their corporate blog about a month ago and had no idea what their products were. Something about inspiration. In fact, their talk was so abstract... so Japanese... so scientific but chaotic (for better or worse), so obvious but not, that I kind of regained hope for the Japanese innovative process and its spirit. That is all, for now.

Enigma / Rainmeter

Clearly not what I should be spending my time doing... thanks to Lifehacker... [Rainmeter, Enigma]. I've also found Rainmeter to be better than Samurize, or at least more stable on Vista, but who knows. Wallpaper credits to ~KiloOneOne [Blackwater Point] and Bulletcatcher [Tuxflo]. Definitely needs playing around on my part, but I need to not be any more distracted from work...

Don't look at me like that.

My friend told me to bite the head off first so it would stop looking at you. Well, I partially followed instructions...


Happy Hippos from Italia, no more :(

Legos x10

Some dude in Japan, Kato Takafumi made buildable LEGOs out of paper. Check out this picture of a kid in front of a pile of them as well as other snapshots in the album, or go check out the exhibition at Musashino Art University.

Too much time? Or art? Well, I definitely wouldn't mind having a wall like this and ponder about "liberty with materialism." Oh wait... I have a phobia of large objects...

Can't Sleep, Can't Eat, I'm Sick

Well a third of that is true. Another product of insomnia, although it's also invading my daytime hours... when I should be work... or something. From the album cover, pencil only:

Insomnia...

It's been way too long since I've returned from Japan to blame it on jetlag, but I'm having issues falling asleep. I found out today that two of my roommates have the same problem... new room, new environment?

So what do I do? Draw random shit. It kind of sucks in limited lighting, however.
