Jefah and I have decideded to make a webpage to collect together pictures of things that look like faces.

As long as the thing isn’t an object deliberately made to look like a face, we’ll post it.

Here’s hoping it goes well :)

A better looking back up.

Being a somewhat sensible lad, I figured I needed a back-up hard drive. Something to save my files in the ungodly event of corruption/fire/lightning/stupid. There was a problem: the standard drive enclosures looked ugly, and anything nice was way out of my price range. The solution: make my own.

So, here we have it. One store bought chinese-style wooden box + one 500GB HD + elbow grease = THIS!

Los Angeles 2008

OMG photos!

Time to write is short, and I’m lazy, so not too much is going to be set down in pixels here, just enough to fill in what the photos in the album are showing.

The wonderful night-time shots of the city were taken from Griffith Observatory, in the hills of LA. From that vantage point LA looks like a sea of lights, it stretches as far as the eye can see. I was reminded of Lord of the Rings where the ork camp behind the gate is shown. No eye of Sauron here though.

Shots of the flea market we went to and a school band that was practising for the big game due the next week.

The Getty Villa is here. Built by a rich guy as a copy of a wealthy Roman villa, it also serves as a museum of pieces from Greek and Roman antiquity.

The Griffith Observatory again, this time the inside.
The shiny ball is a pendulum used to demonstrate the rotation of the earth.

Some dark shots in the carpark! If you look closely, you can see a coyote! The animal was smaller than I thought it would be, like a medium sized dog that looks fox-ish.

Pecan pie!

Los Angeles

I’m in the USA again!

Our plane trip was fairly uneventful, short delay, a brief patch of turbulence and then some fitful sleep. We arrived at 07:30 on Saturday morning, which was about 5 hours before we left by the clock’s reckoning. Our hosts in LA, Wildsoda’s mother and her husband, picked us up from the airport and immediatly proceeded to guide us into some typically American culinary fair with a trip to IHOP for breakfast.

IHOP is the International House Of Pancakes, though it does not have franchises outside north america, nor does it have an internationally themed menu, so it’s choice of name is a mystery to me. One very filling serve of wholemeal pancake with fruit later and we were off to the house Ali and I would be residing in during out stay in California, there we had a nap, freshened ourselves up after the flight and then set off for an early dinner and an evening show.  Dinner was at a rather tasty Indian restaurant whose staff attempted to compensate for the very soft lighting by turning up the music. 

Our entertainment for the evening was Harry Shearer’s Christmas show, which was full of songs and special guests.

The next day went to see Ali’s friend Kerstyn, game designer and all round cool geek. Besides having on the the coolest console collections, that can be claimed on tax, Krystyn also has one of the best jobs I’ve ever heard of anyone having. Jealous just isn’t the word. 

We all went to the Pasadena flea market to cruise through the piles of junk the locals decided to try and sell. For the most part it was just the same as any trash-and-treasure in Aus, more fob-watches and hunting knives though. I was given two Scrabble pieces (my initials) as a gift from a stall-holder, which I intend to turn into cufflinks when I’m back. Of course I’ll have to buy a shirt that needs cufflinks now, but that’s besides the point.

There’s a lot more to wire, and pictures to put up, but I’m limited with time at the moment. More soon.

:)
