Brickhounds...

Another game inspired creation, this time Chromehounds gets a toy, I call it Brickhound.  I think I may have to buy this one, I can't remember the exact price quoted, but it was around $20.  It is basically the second version of a powered combat suit I created earlier.  Enjoy.

Been busy...

I have found a new hobby, in between work, family and Fallout 3 I have rediscovered Legos. I have always been fascinated with the little colored bricks since I was small, but lately I have been browsing the web looking at other peoples creations, and couldn't help but wonder how do they build such things. I mean did they spend hundreds of dollars on kits just to build their own creation? How did they know what bricks would be necessary to do so? With a little searching I found out how they do it. Lego CAD. There are a few applications for doing this, but the Lego Digital Designer, which is free from Lego.com is a great way to start designing your own kits. And there is even a feature to purchase the bricks necessary to build your creation. Anyway, here is what I have done in the past few days.

I designed a fictional ship from the R-Type universe, if you have played any of the games you will probably recognize the similarities especially if you ever played R-Type Final for the PS2.

Bought their latest CD entitled As Daylight Dies yesterday, this is probably my favorite song of the album. In the Arms of Sorrow. Have a good one.

My First At Work Entry...

Only two or three more weeks of this rush, rush, rush crap here at work.  You see we are working on some units that will go into the Tire Lube Express centers at Wal-Marts all across the country.  For the time being we are on two shifts, my supervisor took the night shift, and that left me with days and in the role of day supervisor.  We hired a bunch of temp labor from a local staffing group to help with the work, unfortunately alot of them are as dumb as a bag of hammers, so not only are we rushed, we have to babysit folks as well.  I really don't mind the fact that our help isn't as skilled as I would like, but I hate being rushed for anything.  Rushing = mistakes.  That's something that we never can get through to upper management when they are planning for everything.  Oh, well at least it will almost be done by the time Force Unleashed comes out.
