High Concept – Episode 1 – 20 second excerpt from Daniel D Lindmark on Vimeo.

Just a taste, to prove that I still love you, infernet.

I stumbled upon a great collection of illustrator brushes.

In case I forget, here is a site that details some of the important control panel applets in WinXP. Very useful if you are doing “runas”

Beat Sheet Central is a website that hosts movie / TV treatments aka beat sheets. The author has transcribed a series of movies and shows, but also has opened his site up for submissions.

By understanding the technical breakdown of great works that have come before us, we can expand upon that experience and project greatness into the future.

I will have to remember that I carry a camera on my phone, because this morning, I saw a delightfully confusing collection of car accessories:

Florida gators license plate holder. Confederate flag magnet. Puerto Rican flag. Navy sticker. The piece de resistance? An upsidedown american flag sticker.

So what we’re talking about is a states rights, anti american, naval officer who wants to annex the PR, while watching florida sports teams.

This is 10 times better than some kid with his mom’s volvo peppered with punk band bumper stickers.

For $300 / hr it’s a lot cheaper than skydiving. I bet if you wear something slutty, he’ll hit on you, or maybe even play his guitar for you.

Warning: He claims to be the most photographed man, next to the president.

You know it’s a bad day when your Internet Service Provider (ISP) calls your phone to tell you that your IP address is spewing forth spam.

It’s also not good when that event is preceded by a webpage redirecting to a crap website and your antivirus software giving up.

Luckily Windows has a malicious software removal tool. That can catch a few things after your antivirus bites the dust.

I was also previously unaware that there is a Network Monitor 3.3 to look at your network activity. Watch those ip requests fly by.

I just thought I would quickly mention Cheapass Games.

From their own mouth:

“We here at Cheapass Games are aware of two basic facts about games: they cost too much, and they are at some level all the same.

If you ignore the clever shapes they come in, the cheap little plastic pawns are an interchangeable part of most of the board games in your house. So are the dice, the money, the counters, the pencils, and just about every other random spare part. These generic bits and pieces can account for as much as 75% of a game’s production cost, and that cost gets handed to you.

If you had your choice, you’d probably invest a little bit of money in one good set of gaming paraphernalia instead of twenty crappy ones, and then just buy the new part of every “new” game. Yet most companies insist on selling you the whole package every time; it’s like bundling a can opener with a can of beans.

Cheapass Games come with the bare essentials: boards, cards, and rulebooks. If you need anything else, we’ll tell you. And it’s probably something you can scrounge from a game you already own, or buy at a hobby store for less than “they” are charging you for it. Heck, if you need to, you can even buy the parts from us.

And once you’ve assembled your collection of generic small parts, you can use them for every new Cheapass Game. We’ve standardized our designs so your gaming toolbox will last. If that sounds pretty good, page through our website and check out all the cool things Cheapass Games has to offer you.”
