Does this look like a quality product? That price is SHOCKINGLY lower than the other HDMI switchers I've seen.

I have 3 HD devices (satellite / Blu-Ray / HD player) running into a single DVI (HDMI to DVI cord in between) port on my 1080i projection screen.

I was also looking at their inexpensive HDMI cords:

does "1.3a Category 2 Certified CL2 Rated" mean it's a cheap product, hence the inexpensive price? $10 for 3 feet (all I need) compared to 30-50 bucks for 6 feet in any retail store seems fishy to me.]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:16:26 -0500
Was this design printed on the older shirts? Or the newer threadless brand?

I ask because I'm a 3x wearer, and the newer shirts have been properly long, but I bought cntrlZ and it wasn't close to being long enough for my torso, and I'm guessing it was printed on the older shirts.

Now, this being an older design, I'm about to buy it and I hope that's not the case.

I've been able to squeeze very comfortably into the provided 2x hoodies.

So based on the hoody knowledge, I purchased the 2x zip-up of this design (the largest size offered) and it doesn't fit at all.

I'm not annoyed TOO badly or anything, I was able to pass it off to someone else who dug the hell out of this design as well.

This is more of a public service announcement for other people that love cheeseburgers as much as I do.

ZIP-UP HOODIES ARE SMALLER THAN HOODIES!

and if someone from threadless runs in here to point out that they're not, and I've just stretched my old hoodies out as I've enlarged, I will call you a jerk-face.... so watch yourself!]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:12:54 -0500
CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!

I put it up as an introduction of sorts to our podcast, so people can get a minute long feel for it before they commit to listening to nearly an hour of our nerd talk.

Let me know what you think of my shoddy character art and non-lip synched animation!

Also, I'll take any flash tips for synching. I found I have to keep the mp3 clip streaming to keep what I did synch in time, but the audio is bad, so any tips will help future endeavors.]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:13:02 -0500
My comic collection and my OCD like need to organize things (I now understand why I endured at a video store for 9 years, ALPHABETIZING!)

I have just purchased a slew of these:

DRAWER BOXES

before, I had most of my comics rather nicely displayed in racks made for DVD retail spaces (thank you blockbuster employment).

I am on pins and needles waiting for these drawer boxes to arrive so I can construct them and make certain my comics are all arranged perfectly before boxing them up!]]> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 11:26:30 -0500

Evan and I smashed our heads together and this is what came out.

It was (like our design) a very high school like collab. My e-mail went down for a while, and Evan thought I was ignoring him, so he started seeing other people. Then I came back to him (in the rain) and explained it all. Then he told me about seeing other people, and I became angry, and he claimed, ";We were on a break!"

(some of that actually happened)

Here's the higher res. image:

and here's how we made it!

The series just ended (and left an opening for a spin-off as Zuko searches for his mother) and we've known since mid season 2 that M. Night Shamalamadingdong has optioned the flick.

Normally, after Lady in the Water (which I enjoyed, but I would NEVER recommend) and (the truly dismal) Happening, I would imagine people wouldn't be interested in M. at the helm of this fiction.

But the good news is it is already written. They already plan to split the three books (seasons) into three movies, so it seems M. won't have any of the characters dead all along, or mutant trees.

They are now looking for the cast, as this was recently posted:


The Last Airbender

We are doing a search for
a Movie based on the Childrenšs TV
show
ŗThe Last Airbender˛. A new movie based on the hit Nickelodeon series.


We are specifically looking for the character
They will take Martial Arts experience over acting experience.
Aang:
12-15 years old Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity
We are looking for a young man to play the lead role in a motion picture
franchise. He must be athletic and graceful with an ability in Martial Arts
(not necessarily extensive experience, but at least an aptitude for it)
He is a young adventurer and should seem like the type of young man who will
grow up to be heroic.
Kids with experience in gymnastics, dance, or sports could also be good.


We are also looking for the following characters if you have anyone who
would be a good match.

Sokka: 16-20 years old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is
Katarašs older brother. He is intelligent but awkward, and very funny
(although not necessarily intentionally so). He aspires to greatness, but he
tends to doubt himself. He is always one to be swayed by a pretty girl.

Katara: 14-17 years old, Female, Caucasian or any other ethnicity.
She is Sokkašs younger sister. She is a headstrong and determined girl with
a real sense of idealism. She believes in herself and feels that she can
play on the same team as the boys. She is beautiful, intelligent,
passionate, feisty, and has a real sense of adventure.

Zuko: 16-20 years old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is a
brooding, intense young man who wrestles not always successfully with
being good. Regaining his honor is a driving impetus for him. He is
extremely handsome and is the type of dangerous boy every girl falls in love
with. Athletic and/or martial arts experience is a plus.

If you have kids that are right and can not make it to the casting
please let them know that they can submit electronically
all submissions must be received by:
September 15, 2008.

I'm a little concerned that they are looking for an Aang with more martial arts skill than acting chops. But I've seen so many BAD child actors that were supposedly "good: to start with, that if this kid can at least kick some ass, then I'm happy.

Besides, Ang's emotional range in the series is boiled down to 3 shades: content, upset, and avatar state.]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:01:32 -0500
I had just posted this:

and I was really digging the idea and happy.

But then someone pointed out Mikey Hong beat me to this punch

Is this possible? As far as I need the link click to connect via my STP, and does the RSS automatically show the latest text AND pic of the shirt?

Also, where do I even begin to get the embedding code?]]>
