Notes on the past, the present and the near future

I just watched the first few episodes of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and I think that means that I'm certifiably insane. If I'm not then everyone on the production staff certainly was.


Nothing hugely interesting going on today. I hate to do a notes post again so soon after the last one but I figure that's probably the best way to get through everything.


I relisted my Axim X3 on eBay (as you'd know if you ignored my warnings and read yesterday's post) and it's now got one bid, meaning I've definitely made my first sale on eBay. Huzzah.


I've been talking with Skippy about advertising for Dunhenry, which is kind of what I'm doing with this paragraph, only more blatant. This hopefully means that, now that Skippy's got his iMac back again, work on StreamK will start up again.


Ever heard of "I Wonder Why..." books? I used to love these things when I was little and Erin, clearing out her bookshelves, discovered a few of my old ones today. It's photo time:

I can remember the answers to all the other questions on the cover here. Except for the title question.

I don't really remember this one. Sorry, Spidey.

This one is without a doubt, my personal favourite. Why, you ask? Because of what's in the photo located directly beneath this sentence, that's why!

I guess it's funny that even at a young age, I was apparently paying more attention to physics and devices and machines than to history and the natural world. Or maybe it was more to do with my fascination with all things large and mechanical at that age. Seriously, one of my defining childhood memories is of this big brown book full of tractors. I loved that thing.


With any luck, by tomorrow I'll have a big new TV that I can... look at things on. And connect things to. I'm deliberately going for one with S-video and some PC connectors so that I can hook it up to my GP2X and some computers without too much trouble. I know it should be pretty difficult to find a TV without S-video but none of the TVs in my house have it.


I received some of Sam's first art for the webcomic today. Yeah... I think I'm going to turn this into a purely written thing, unless I find a better artist. They don't necessarily have to be brilliant at drawing things but I think I first asked Sam to do some concept stuff early last year. So, the time scale's a little bit iffy for a regular feature. Still, I'll leave him to do The Adventures of Jelly Jumper and Ace Cow with Erin instead. Don't ask. It's a long and complicated tale and you wouldn't understand it anyway.


Hey, I just realised I never got round to playing more of Mario Strikers Charged today. I should have done that. Stupid miscellaneous other things that keep getting in my way... like sleeping in till 11:00...


That's about it I reckon. Those photos that you can hopefully see above are going to take a little while to upload and arrange and I have an episode of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (copy and paste, the greatest invention since the wheel of sliced television) that I want to finish watching before bed.

Have a nice day.
