- Boob-U-Mentary
-
What a fucking shame. Terrible job too. Sorry.
Update: I will concede Jamais from Blowfish one point, albiet a cynical one. Fake boobs look good under clothing. Once she's naked you're already sold, so it doesn't matter that they look like crap.

- Long Awkward Pose
- gotta love a good head-fuck prank.
- Paper Airplane - Google Video
- video on the web is mostly just porn and funny stupid shit. ok, it's mostly just porn. but every once and a while there's something insanely useful where video is just the perfect medium, here's one of them.

- Gristlestick: Mudflap
- My brother's on his way to Alaska now. They've been writing music on the road, and composed a song about those siloette women on trucker's mudflaps while on the way to Bozeman Montana (middle of nowhere, north of Yellowstone).

- Jet Beetle
- Scroll down and check out all the pictures even if you don't have time to read it. Highlights include the "big-fire" demonstration (1/20th the full size?!) and the cop trying to come up with something to charge him with.

- Commitment to Footwork
-
Much good table tennis advice to be found over at usatt.org, my favorite quote so far being the need to commit to
"moving your fool self over there to get the ball"
.Other tips I want to remember being:
- The Returns You Want
- Learn to Re-Loop
- Leftys
- Staying Focused At Tournaments
- Serving Seemiller Depth
- Service Returns 101: Stroke, Depth and Placement
- Service Returns 101: Spin
- Tossing High
Said list will change as my game advances.

- Torch My Ride: Arson for Hire
- Ha! Maybe the fraud would be more convincing if people made sure that their spouse/children were in the car when it was torched? Did I just imply that anybody who leases a car beyond their means, specifically an SUV, should have their family roasted alive? Well maybe I did.
- Letter From the President of GiftSongs.Com - The Personalized Song Company
- Hey look, it's Mark from the Northridge club.

- usatt.org rankings results for: Devine, Nils
- this here's the nice little hole I've dug myself into, should be fun climbing out.
- Sparks: Critters
- Fun! Miniatures in font format. Imagine the game designing possibilities. I've always spent too much time on production, and not enough on playtesting, so resources like this can be extremely useful.
- Video: Joe Hewitt Talks About FireBug
- Worth a watch, I learned a trick or two. There are a bunch of command line / search functions that aren't obvious from the interface, but are extremely useful tricks to know.

- Web designer's guide to print design : Mark Boulton
- Where was this a month ago? Actually, this article wouldn't have helped me too much, I needed some solid basics like this Design Guide For Print, and these Blank Design Templates. But dude, I wish I'd known about CMYK's issues with orange (from Kurt Trew's comment) when I went about designing Cybil's menu. Still have my fingers crossed on that one. Hopefully the series that this article has started will cover these basic issues (picking CMYK colors, setting bleed and safety areas, etc.) in more depth than the few existing articles about print that can be found on the web.

- Wooden Tool Box - Seconds - Duluth Trading Company
- Finally settled on a toolbox after my old Rubbermaid one gave up the ghost (latches having broken years ago, the handle just snapped off). I was tempted to build my own, but not having a router let alone shop I decided to stick with the cribbage board projects. Coping/hand saws just aren't the same as a router and a table saw.

- Lunacore Photoshop Training - Photoshop Tutorials
- I'm always bookmarking photoshop tutorials, but rarely do enough work with actual photographs to put them to good use. There is one trick I've yet to figure out, not sure if the Realistic Clouds tutorial here will help… I want to create a "difference clouds" type effect, but at print resolution, at least 300dpi. I did a small thumbnail sketch for a recent design, but it ended up having a lot more texture than the finished piece, because I had trouble getting the built in photoshop filters to create the same effects at high res as they do for screen/web work.
- Six Flags Magic Mountain : Tatsu
- New Coaster, and I haven't even gotten a chance to go on X yet. Next visit's going to be fun.
