A little something I'm working on when I have down time at the school. This is just the first step to working on a PSP2 concept I have in my head.

AX 2007 Pictures!

Yup, I finally got all of those up!
All of them are scaled down to a nice 640 wide from the originals which were much, much larger.

Well, I have a PS3 and have had it for just over a year. It's the 60gig version and I'm looking at eventually changing the hard drive out for a 320gig. I also have a DualShock3 that was imported from Japan. It feels so much better than the regular Sixaxis!

If you have a PS3 and want to add me as a friend, PSN: iamhitori

Star Trek Teaser Trailer

2008-01-23T05:35:01Z

Hhhhmm... I'll have to see how this comes along. But Winona Ryder!? WHY!!?

A long road....

2008-01-20T08:10:14Z

Here I am,
Looking down,
Standing on a long,
Unending road.

I look up and can't see anything.
Everything is blurry.
Nothing can be made out.
Only silhouettes blurred in the distance.

That is the long road ahead of me.
Thinking hard and deep.
Should I keep going?
The road leads to somewhere unknown.

It could be scary,
Filled with pain,
joy,
hope?

I look back and see a lot.
Everything is clear.
Distant memories,
Filled with pain and joy.

That was the long road behind me.
Stuck and fixated in my mind.
Should I let them dictate my path ahead?
The road behind me lead me where I am now.

Should I keep going forward?
Should I stop here and rest?
Let the past catch up with me?
Or move forward and make new memories?

Questions?
Answers?
What to do?
What should I do?

I look forward.
Take my first step.
Eyes clinch tightly...Pain!
Familiar pain.

Pain from the past has caught up with me.
Pain is holding me back.
Pain is itching my brain.
Pain... It hurts.

A soft warm feeling brushes my cheek.
The feeling of happiness,
The thought of joy.
A breath of freshness.

Hope for the future.
Hope is pulling me forward.
Hope is soothing the pain.
Hope... It feels good.

The more I strain to move forward,
To hope for the future...
The more it hurts,
From pain in the past...

I take another step.
More pain.
More hope.
And another step.

Moving forward is easier.
The feeling of hope is stronger.
The feeling of pain is weaker.
Another step.

My eyes open up.
The future.
It's getting clearer.
Silhouettes come into focus.

Pain goes away.
Hope is stronger.
I smile.
Take another step.

Stepping turns into walking.
Walking into running.
Running into flying.
Pain is gone.

All that is left is hope.
Hope for the future.
Changes are felt.
Changes are made.

Hope is warm,
Hope is kind,
Hope is gentle.
Hope is another road,
A road to the unknown.

The future is where I want to be.
Good? Bad?
Who knows?
There is always hope for the future.

OMFG!?!?!?!

Oh.. Updated my site with some stuff too...

Really?

Am Back?

School is back in session

2007-08-22T06:33:24Z

Yup, college is back up and running. I have a heavy plate of stuff going on for the whole semester.

I'm in charge of the Art and Graphic Design Department Mac Lab and 3D Animation Lab. I was busy most of the summer since AX getting the lab set up. Most everything was changed and upgraded. We went from cheap old tables with a variety of Mac G5s and G4s to what it is now. Currently there are about 15 new Intel iMac workstations for students. These are not the new ones but the version out earlier this year. There are several scan stations all running on PowerPC G5s and the main instructor station is running an Intel Dual-Core G5. Getting them all set up was fun. There was also a lot of cable management going on and that took a while. The Mac Lab was finished the day before classes started. I can't say too much about the 3D Animation Lab... I was so focused and busy with the other lab that I neglected it. But then again, I only had 19 hour work weeks and I needed more hours to get everything done. None of the users were set up and still have all of the information from the spring semester... I have to get those set up before they get into some heavy usage in a couple weeks. -_-

Speaking of 3D... I've become a Teacher Assistant for two independent study classes. There are a few students doing the 3D animation degree who are almost done and ready to graduate. I'm basically helping those students out by getting them the classes they need to complete the degree. Since the program wasn't fully up and running, the upper level classes had few students taking them and didn't have enough students for them to make. I suggested making those upper level classes as independent study with a teacher from main campus. They couldn't get the paperwork done quickly enough to transfer a teacher and asked me if I wanted to fill in the position. O_O I know I wasn't qualified to do that. But, they did a roundabout way for me to "help" the students during independent study class hours where the "Teacher Assistant" would be present to help students with their lessons. I didn't know how much it would pay... They would compensate me by adding another position for me so that I would make the same amount I'm making for my Lab Specialist position. So that's two jobs this semester at $12/hr and 19 hours a week for each even though I'm not working a full 19 hours for the "Teacher Assistant" job. It's more compensation than anything by springing this on me at the last minute. ^_^ I gladly took it and wanted to help friends and students out by getting them through their degree this semester. Hopefully we can get two teachers in by next semester to breathe more life into the 3D program.

Wow, it's unreal this semester! First, I wasn't planning on working at the school because I was going to focus on game development and website work. Then I made my terms clear that if they wanted me to be back with them, they had to do $12/hr. I couldn't believe it when they accepted. Well, I was more qualified than the other people who would have replaced me and didn't have to do training. I'm on the edge of burning myself out with four jobs. Two at the school, game development and website work. Well, I'll see what happens and hopefully this extra job isn't too demanding. Plus, it gives me something good to put on my resume as being a Teacher Assistant.

If this goes well, I may help out next semester.

Things just got a little faster!

2007-08-08T23:54:38Z

Well, for download speed.. Nothing much different for upload.

Oh wow!

2007-08-08T23:29:14Z

A few weeks ago I sent my Canon PowerShot SD100 Digital Elph in to Canon to get it fixed. It was due to a faulty CCD in manufacturing. This wasn't the same camera I used during AX... That was another camera that I borrowed. So, I get a package in the mail yesterday and it's from Canon. I was happy to get my camera back. But, upon further inspection it was a box for an SD600. I was thinking sweet, they shipped the wrong camera back to me. Then there was a letter enclosed as well stating:

"Dear Canon Customer,

Thank you for trusting Canon with your repair needs.

Due to the current lack of essential components at our repair facility, and in order to expedite your repair, we have exchanged your original equipment with a new or factory reconditioned replacement model of equal or greater value.

Blah blah blah more stuff"

It was reconditioned but then again, it looked totally brand new. New accessories and everything. But, my original SD100 was also reconditioned which I got it pretty cheap and had been working for the past 3 years. I was eventually considering an upgrade to the SD900 when the price got a little lower but the SD600 will be good enough to hold me over until then.

Oh and Naruto Box 4 just came in the mail today. Just need to finish up the last DVD from Box 3. Yes, I'm so behind... But then again, I've been busy with other things.

I LOL'd some more.. well..

2007-07-27T10:19:16Z

Was a little bored and posted some more to get a reaction.
My stuff is down a little bit.

Once I get my site back up and running, I'll have a gallery of all my pictures from current and previous conventions.

Anyone have any good suggestions for hosting?
I was looking at the following:
http://www.midphase.com/
http://www.anhosting.com/
http://www.siteground.com/

I'm also looking at a CMS of some kind that integrates well with forums. But then again, I'm waiting for phpBB 3.0 to go official instead of being an RC(currently up to RC3) and use Subdreamer CMS. I like the features of both but would like to see other suggestions.

For just $1 a month

2007-07-27T02:09:56Z

You get a lot of crack

I don't think I would do that...
Well, I wasn't really looking up anything pertaining to WoW... >_>

I'd slap that!

2007-07-17T17:33:33Z

Not that I condone violence against women.
This little flash game is fun, funny, and interesting!

Think about this line: "Little Mac, you won this match."
After you win the first match.

May the slapping commence.

Why!! Why!!!

2007-07-16T06:20:13Z

>>174034 :O
It'll eventually be deleted. That is just one of the pictures I took at full resolution.

And yes, I was bored...

edit: I added a few moar! :p

AX BAD!!!

2007-07-04T06:41:00Z

I made it back alive!

AX Sucked!

Well, I need to get some sleep.

Never again!

Off to AX

2007-06-28T17:25:09Z

I'm heading to the airport now. See you guys there!

OMGallery

2007-06-28T03:55:53Z

I just figured out how to add a link on my LJ page.
Well, it's a link to a gallery I started up. Check it out!

The OMGallery

Incoming!!

2007-06-28T02:17:27Z

Speed! Finally!!!!

2007-06-24T17:06:28Z

Well, the speed is finally back! But instead of the 1.5 mbps, we now have 3 mbps.

AX Stuff:
I'm wondering who I should be paying for the room..? Just so I could set aside some cash for it and work out my budget for food, emergency cash, and miscellaneous stuff for convention activities. Man, I want to try and get autographs from Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara and Yuko Goto... I know it'll be tough, but I would like to try! Oh and I'm doing the T-Shirt thing as well. I usually buy the convention T-Shirt in white and get as many people from the convention to sign it. AX is only a few days away!

Slow internet is slow....

2007-06-22T07:19:22Z

Yup it sucks. The internet is slow, slow, slow...
Can't play any online games because of lag. >_>

Well, some of you may not know it but I've had a PLAYSTATION®3 since January. I've been messing around with Home Beta and Warhawk Beta. Home is interesting and Warhawk is similar to the Battlefield series. Can't say much about them but Warhawk is fun! Well.. was fun until my internet started slowing down..... >_>

Cornz! LOLZ!!

2007-06-21T18:07:24Z

Doh!

2007-06-21T06:31:25Z

HHhmmm.. My website is down. Oh well, I was looking at some other hosting for a while now but haven't gone through and bought it yet.

Wow, one more week until I fly in to AX.
