I don’t have the habit of posting links to (or thumbnails of) pictures, or even one-shot small images to accompany the post. But I begin to like that concept. So today, probably for the first third time ever, I’ll give you some thumbnails, which are actually — get this — links(!) to a few interesting pictures and two screen shots on my flickr page.

Here we go:

A few days ago, I bought two Kinder Surprise eggs — one for me, one for my girlfriend. She was lucky. Her egg-hatched monkey was red and completely normal. Mine was not. It was purple (but that’s OK, I’m not a racist) and with some serious eye disorder. Please examine carefully the two photos linked below. My poor monkey…

Next, there was this nifty notification from Toshiba:

A ’surprise’ comment on QJ.net’s science department page:

And finally, here are some photos of my Big Red Ball, my Tascam HD-P2 and the famous SE3 microphones:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post as much as I have creating it.

Until next occasion — bye :)

I’ve had no luck finding new copies of two first edition Battle Angel Alita comics, number 3 (”Killing Angel”) and number 7 (”Angel of Chaos”). They’re sold out on Amazon and even if they had new copies on their marketplace, I couldn’t order from there because Croatia isn’t on the list of countries they ship to.

Viz comics website offers 2nd edition only.

Barnes&Noble and Powell’s books have used copies only.

If you have any ideas as to where I could find these two comics, please write them down in the comments. I’m really in love with this comic and if someone helps me with this matter, I’ll send them all my CD releases — hard copies! Original! Signed, even! ;)

So, thank you all in advance :)

UPDATE:
I’ve found both comics at Abebooks - they ship to Croatia and accept Visa and Mastercard, in case you were wondering :)

Yay! *claps hands and dances around the room*

Hello world.

I’ve been wanting to write for weeks now, but my own CMS has become the very thing that stops me from doing that. It’s ugly, unfinished, and lacking features. I’ll be moving on to Wordpress soon — It’s got all I need, and yet it’s simple to use and set up.

So, my dear faithful visitors (the 5 of you), have I wasted 3 and a half years ‘developing’ this CMS? Luckily — no, I really don’t think so. I’ve learned PHP, MySQL, and the basics of C by coding it. But I’m one, I’m lazy, and I’ve definitely lost the inspiration. When your own creation turns against you, you gotta pull the plug.

From now on, I’ll put my time and energy into recording sounds and collecting materials for my own sample CD’s, because, in the end, that is the reason why I’ve bought the Tascam and the SE3 mics.

I’ve been recording a lot during this summer and I hope you’ll all be able to hear (and enjoy) the fruits of my labor soon.

Next on my list is Rode NT4 stereo mic, and then, later — I’ll probably go for the Sony PCM-D1 for some pocket-size pro quality recordings (if nothing better hits the market in the following months).

In other news: Akismet works just fine and I’m grateful.

Love, peace, harmony… bah, I forgot the last one.

rave on.
