I think it’s rather lame to call attention to having a design lifted, and then steal a very distinct type for use on your own clothes without so much as changing it a little.
Onetwentysix’s blog entry has examples. In my opinion it clearly shows how someone (who probably submitted the work to Johnny Cupcakes) took a few of his hand drawn examples which have been on flickr for quite awhile and slightly modified a few letters; and put it all together.
Jon almost did the font for my neck tat, but he didn’t have enough time to meet my nearly instant deadline. He suggested the pimp font I wear now. His work is too unique to be stolen, it’s easily recognizable as his.
The time had come. I needed to cut up a pretty big sheet of polycarbonate (plexiglass) to make a custom lid for the aquarium side with the skimmer hanging off, and figure out a good way to get my portable air conditioner exhausted through the living room windows. The lid was pretty simple, the sheet was 26″ wide and I needed 7×24″ I made a cut 8″ wide across it and put it aside. The AC was also pretty simple to figure out, but I couldn’t complete the job last night. I made three 8 x 26″ pieces to assemble length wise creating a long strip. One end piece will need to be trimmed prior to assembly for a good tight fit, because I’m not sure how well it’ll bend with reinforcing pieces across the back along the seams.
I need to pick up some silicon, or whatever will adhere to the surface today because I have a forth strip slimmed down and held together with the stock window shim, filling a gap. There’s a small opening because the slimming left one end chipped in a corner, and it’s not a perfect fit due to difference of designs. I want to close that up asap.
Anyways, I sprayed my kitchen with plastic when I busted out the rotary tool & cutting disc to melt/cut out the lid. I’m very happy with the end result, it took a good amount of tweaking but I guess that comes with the “cut, check, cut again” method. Clean up was a bitch.
This past weekend Jen and I went to this street event in Centretown on Spark Street; which means it was a short walk! Awesome of course, because we could drink beer on the balcony before going for food. Mmmmm BBQ food.
The event was fun to attend. The line ups were a little scary, but usually worth the wait.
When I moved to Ottawa I decided to use Rogers for my ISP. They let me book the appointment day, making the move easier. When I got online, I discovered I was capped at 60GB. That’s not that much data. I blew threw the cap for 2 months, on the 3rd I’d be responsible for paying the overage charge of $2/GB which would put my bill somewhere around $300+ a month. Shitty deal.
I switched to Acanac because the price is pretty sweet. It turns out I’m roughly 4km from the telco central office which routes me, so I get great speed. A full 6Mb/s for $30/month with a static ip and no blocked ports. Most importantly, no cap.
I’m also paying $8 for a dryloop, cause I fucking hate Bell and will never use their land line service again unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Jen and I went to House of Paint on Sunday, for the afternoon. It was under a bridge on Bronson St. by Carlton U. The setup was impressive, with Red Bull as a sponsor and a great sound system. The weather wasn’t as good; rain bombarded the area in waves for most of the day. When it was really coming down the drains from the bridge were like giant shower heads, on everything below them.
The talent was top quality. The colors were vivid. I’m going next year.
We went to Scotia Bank Place on Saturday night for a monster truck rally. it kicked ass. I wish I had brought my 135mm lens for the Moto-X guys, my 16-50 wasn’t ideal.
There’s absolutely nothing comparible to use on Linux. Regardless of personal opinion, I simply haven’t found anything that has all the features AND a good gui. I have around 4 gigs of photos from the weekend to process (monster trucks and graffiti festival) and I’m going to end up using my virtualized workstation and Photoshop.
A week shy of the anniversary of that lame car accident, the random shoulder pain is gone. This is the pain that felt like a massive charlie horse that’d just .. happen as I moved my arm around with daily activities over the last 4 months or so. The healing was definitely in stages of pain and simple range of motion. Kinda crazy how that works, after experiencing it.
My last visit to the gym has been the best yet. I’m effectively using the weights now, and added 20lbs. I was worried that I’d be getting weaker since I haven’t been going regularily since moving to Ottawa.
I’m getting faster at sprinting through the city on my 2.35″ and 2.5″ tires. Interval training ftw!
This really raised the view count on the pic. Glad real peeps look at the pics.
I honestly can’t express how annoyed I am with the peice of shit vaporizer I have. The whips are hand blown glass it looks like, and as such there’s absolutely no quality assurance.
I broke my original whip yesterday by accident; and the replacement I picked up doesn’t even fit together. It’s literally impossible to use. Fucking waste of money.
Never buy this peice of shit brand, you’re practically throwing away your money on a shitty electric circuit that costs maybe $10 to make and glass you can’t use. Not worth paying the extra $150 for the wood burning.
