In my next life I'm coming back as a lighting designer.
https://usa.flos.com/modern-wall…
Look at the price/part breakdown. $260 just for the bent piece of metal. $50 more for the bent piece of metal that attaches it to the wall. With $46 screws.

- break down misses: bank/accounting fees + designer fee + producer fee + manufacture fee + assembly fee + storage fee + website hosting fee etc etc etc.fruitsalad
- Ikea etc can do it cheaper as they have the power of scale + extreme cost cutting on their sidefruitsalad

Later this week I fly to San Jose for a bts shoot at the legendary Tippett Studios in Oakland. Tippet is the man who animated the chess scene aboard the Millennium Falcon, the Taun Taun, designed Jabba the Hut, devised the animatronics for Jurassic Park, animated the bear in the TED movies, and countless other amazing accomplishments in visual effects.
Can't fucking wait!- Cool man, Tippett is a legend and seems super down to earth, I always admired him, his current santa look makes him look older than he is.
Have fun!spl33nidoru

Speaking of mattresses, I'm moving out of my sublet and into my own place this weekend. I think it's time to retire my old spring mattress that's in storage in California and not bother to ship it out here to new york. If i remove some old things from my shipping costs the savings will allow me to buy new for not much more.
I know caspar is pretty popular and i like that they come shipped in a box which is so much more convinient than a traditional mattress. But, I've never slept on one. I do like a firm bed though and a thin pillow top. Now there are all these competitors to caspar popping up. Would love to know your reviews on the bed in a box game. Any of you made any new purchases you either liked or regretted?
- why don't you just buy your friends mattress from her?utopian
- The Caspar is great, amazing cust experience & 100% refund. Sleeps firm but bouncy enough for activities ;) a mix of memory foam and reg foam, firm, soft, coolrobotron3k
- they deliver in a day and have a store now in SOHO close to the apple store. I just saw the competitors, seems like around the same price range.robotron3k
- I'm probably going to go with that robo. It's just too convenient. And being as I sweat like a feaverish toddler, a bed that was cooler would probably be bettershellie
- Have a Casper and love it. I like firm too, and this isn't necessarily "firm", but so, so very comfortable. It took me two nights to get used to it. Go for it!stoplying
- Casper beds are notoriously the hottest sleeping beds on the market. Pure foam = no breathability. Go natural fibers, fuck that memory stuff, it's a scam.monospaced
- Their disclaimer that it's a cool sleeper is actually a lie.monospaced
- no mono, Caspar is 1/4 memory foam and 3/4 regular foam. Air holes added to stay cool...robotron3k

Just spent the last 40 minutes swearing at myself and a client I don't particularly like (he never looks me in the eye in conversation and he's a cheap wee cunt with poor chat to boot) as I left a pain in the ass job for as long as I could... but he's back in the country tomorrow so now I need to get it done.
Despite having explained to him how tricky the job is and how important it is that it's prepped right so that I don't have to waste oodles of time fart-arsing around to get things to fit, he obliviously relayed when he dropped his stuff around "I got these done on the cheap". Alarm bells. I did a cursory examination whilst he was here and realised some redeemable problems, but not quite the full extent.
So now I've left everything to the last minute I've realised how badly done his cheapness is and now I've got to spent extra time fucking around to compensate for his cheapery.
So I'm annoyed at him, because he's cheap, but annoyed at myself more because if I'd realised the problem a week and a half ago, I could've with full self-satisfaction told him I'm not going to bother doing his job because he ignored everything I told him and got it done on the cheap.
But it's too late for that now. Far too late.
I'm an idiot.
God, I really dislike him.
I've wasted an extra five minutes whinging about him here now too. God, so, so irritated.
Fucksticks.
.
I've had to scan this three times to ensure I've not mentioned anything specific that could tie me to him. Can't have a repeat of public spaces abutting with the personal, whatwhat. :|
- Now I know I'm going to find anything else to do and leave this shit 'til tomorrow, so I can end up in a REALLY bad mood with myself/him/others.detritus
- What's the bets on him just happening to be a QBNer now?detritus
- On HER sorry, HER.detritus
- In moments like this i like to daydream that I send the client a jpeg of a shit or something equally offensive and/or terrible and offer it up as job done...dee-dubs
- "what do you mean it wasn't what you were expecting? I thought this is what you were looking for??" - prob career ending move but would bring huge satisfactiondee-dubs
- So you're saying i should turn all of his, sorry her circles into penises? I'm not against the idea.detritus
- Yes... it's a great way of firing him/her/neutral with a giant 'fuck you' to boot!dee-dubs
- I ended up finding a neat, but time-consuming solution to this.detritus
- what kind of project?monospaced
- I'd rather not get too specific at this point - made that mistake here before! I'll mention when the time's past...detritus

Dont want to be over dramatic here, but we've put our cat to sleep this evening, she was 17 y-o.
I know that kind of stuff looks unimportant for people that dont have animals or that dont love and respect animals. But for people who have a pet that they love, they understand and they understand even more if they have ever put a furry friend to sleep. It's very tough.
Just wanted to share this with you guys, if you have a pet, love him as much as he love you, their lifes are very short.
This is the last picture of her before the vet arrive. I'll never take picture of her again :(
- RIP kitty :(
sorry about your loss Bmoldero - this is the hardest part of caring for our friends :/scarabin

- yeah, your shelves aren't level dudemonospaced

Go into a client site today and they're working on a program that's catering to millionaires. Literally asking people to fork over a million dollars.
I walk in and they tell me "We need you to do 4 or 5 logo variations for this program. But only spend a few hours on it we have other design things for you to do"
Are you fucking kidding me? That's literally ~$60 bucks a "logo" and 30-40 minutes on each one. You really expect to get a proper luxury identity that quickly?
Some IT guy was quitting or let go and he walked up and said goodby to a few people and said "today is my last day." I was thinking to myself.... you know what? it's my last day here to. I love being a contractor.

A corny movie score, bad foley and shitty mixing can make an otherwise watchable flick impossible to finish.
- Which?HAYZ1LLLA
- I can't say. Its an aquaintences work (producer). Sound in the post process can suffer if the budget isn't balanced.shellie
- Oh it's something you are working on. I thought you meant a film you'd just seen on TV or summin.HAYZ1LLLA
- No it's a movie that had a wide release. But my friend wrote and produced it.shellie
- the writing was good. cast was good. It made 6 million in profit in theatres. Anything sound related was bad, though. It was a success nonetheless on paper.shellie

Anybody watch Atlanta? I watch the first 1.5 episodes last night. WTF happened with the shooting outside the shops at the start/end of the first episode. It was late and I was tired but couldn't work out what happened and why they were free to walk about and leave in episode 2.
- Great show. Their take on the "canned" episode is stellar. Even better than the Mr Robot sit com episode, IMO.DRIFTMONKEY

I use the word 'cunt' quite a lot, especially when typed, online.
My job involves a lot of emails including the word 'cut'.
Not for the first time this week, I've nearly sent off an email with an amusing but unfortunate typo.

"My name is Robert Craft from Washington D.C USA. I was looking for some artwork online and i found your contact while searching. I will like to purchase some of your work for my wife as a surprise gift for our 20th anniversary. Please kindly send pics and prices of some of your art which are ready for immediate sale within price range $500- $5000, i could be flexible with price. So i will hope to hear a lot more about any available piece in your inventory ready for immediate sale.
Best Regards"
"Thanks for the message, I must tell you I intend to give my wife a surprise with the immediate purchase of the piece. Also If you'd like to know, I'm relocating to Ireland soon and our wedding anniversary is fast approaching. So I'm trying to gather some good stuff to make this event a surprise one. I am buying The 13″x9″; gun metal gray 100lb Paper, glue, paper; 2016 art piece as a gift to her. Let me know the last firm price you are selling this to me so I'll be sending a check.
As regarding shipping, you don't have to worry about that in order not to leave any clue to my wife for the surprise. as soon as you receive and cash the check, my shipping agent (who is also moving my personal effect) will contact you to arrange pick-up.
I would have come to purchase the piece myself but, at the moment, am on training voyage to the North Atlantic Ocean (I'm an ocean engineer) with new hires who are fresh from graduate school and won't be back for another couple of weeks.
Regards,
Robert"
