Woo!
My favourite band of The Now, Chemtrails, are playing Stockholm next month.
Woo!

just bought an Instax Fuji camera for 25 bucks on eBay and a pack of 100 shots for 12 bucks!
Always loved those Polaroid pictures. :)
I will take portrait of all my family with it, I like the nostalgic feels of Polaroid pics.
- I have a mess of polaroids. 3 sx70s, 4 land cameras, a passport camera, and a ton of accessoriesGnash
- I still find bulbs at garage sales occasionally -- i must have around 100 saved upGnash
- http://www.polamad.c…Gnash
- cool :DBennn
- The one model that has eluded me is the, Polaroid 195, and 195 NPC. They were the "Pro" models with f-stop controlGnash
- I would love to have one of thoseGnash
- the Fuji Inxtax mini are super cheap. check it outBennn
- I bought one for my daughter. they're cute. the pics are too small, thoughGnash
- Yeah but its cheap. I didnt want to put too much money on it. The 100 shots I bought will equal 6 cents/shot with is the better you can getBennn
- it comes from Asia with like almost 2 months of shipping... but it's 1$/shot if you buy the film here.Bennn
- The pics are small but once scanned, its cool for the web, you can up scale emBennn
- true thatGnash
- Gnash are you me? I have a shit ton of sx70s, spectras, lands, etc. Two passport cams. You have the 2 or 4 lens version?garbage
- ha. 4 lens :) and have polaroid slide gear http://www.profilmdi…Gnash
- oops
http://www.profilmdi…Gnash - and a bunch of legacy film in the fridge (actually, in my parents basement fridge)Gnash
- do you have the 195 NPC?Gnash
- also have the Big Shot:
http://www.polamad.c…Gnash - No 195. I did have a Big Shot but I gave it to a friend. My passport camera is a ghetto-ass 4 Deluxe with a key and an extension cord.garbage
- I also have a polaroid back for one of my 4x5 cameras. No idea why I am hanging onto all of this stuff, I never use it.garbage
- Jealous of the legacy film though. Impossible Project is overpriced and overwhelming imo.garbage
- I hear ya. I haven't used them in years. also, I have no idea if the film is still viable.Gnash
- *overpriced and underwhelming.garbage
- As for the legacy film, it all depends on how it's stored. Over time the chemicals don't mash together evenly when it goes through the rollers.garbage

this dude sent me a huge png file, a logo and a music track and asked me if I could animate a header for his 'racing site'...
God, I miss doing this kind of work. :( There is something very therapeutic about writing simple JS / HTML / CSS and bringing something to life (it's like I'm back in my old Flash days...*sigh):
Not sure who did the art...his site needs some serious love (maybe he'll hire me!) http://mikeod.net/off-road-racin…

Anyone doing any dev work w/unity? https://unity3d.com/
There's a thread on it but it's got quite the patina on it (and Boz!): http://www.qbn.com/topics/648706…
Is there any newer threads I've missed related to such things (and what I posted below?) ...seems qbn is pretty dead when it comes to oop stuff lately :(

The last boy to shoot up a school and kill innocent people was simply exercising his self induced right as a human to do whatever he wanted. It’s something quite common we see in everyday life, the selfishness of another to the detriment of those around them is boringly cliche in its presence throughout society. Then, in return for those actions, the state will exercise their right to kill a human being as well. Neither side is wielding the power they have with any compassion or control, one side simply has a heavier fist. Things are going as they are intended to, free. Free to choose. Free to make mistakes. Free to kill when humans become upset. If a sane state of human conciseness can kill people with lethal injection and electricity, the issue here isn’t the sanctity of life as much as it is a use and abuse of power in an attempt to feign justice through vengeance.

Was just looking at a client's site, as I did a small job for them and they had exposure at a recent media event, so was curious to see if there was any mention.
Anyway.
It weighs 52Mb.
Fifty. Two. Megas.
I've dropped her a line to suggest we have a chat on the phone so I can offer advice on how to reduce things a little. I hope she doesn't take it as my mansplaining or pitching for work (I specifically said I wasn't pitching, and I don't really do web for other people any more.. although with stuff like this, I wonder whether perhaps I should).
52.
- homepage? 52mb is nothing across a large site, times have changed.fadein11
- not being rude but if a site with lovely retina imagery that's pretty normalfadein11
- "I hope she doesn't take it as my mansplaining" lolpinkfloyd
- Homepage. Sorry, 52Mb is ridiculous for a single page. And, if that IS normal for retina displays (it shouldn't be) then there should be media-queries for my PCdetritus
- yeah google hates that shit, whats the point of a beautiful site if no one sees it.moldero
- yep homepage of course it is, how lol?fadein11
- read my original post "52mb is nothing across a large site", I asked if homepage. post a link and let's have a lookfadein11
- its a CMS where the client uploads print ready 300dpi images usually.fadein11

Anyone into or did anything at a LARP?
There's this Youth Center I collaborate with by giving Graffiti Workshops that asked me if I wanted to prepare a two day workshop for kids in an event taking place in Easter Vacation.
The play Wizards, Warriors, Dragons, etc...
I'm not sure what I can do and the first ideas were:
- Organize a coloring book containing drawings from the kids related to the theme. I would be helping/monitoring/instructing kids into drawing and show them I to do it.
- Make a "Wizard Book" or "Event Book" teaching kids typography so the organize a medieval style book around the theme.
Thing is it's really not my thing...medieval drawings and calligraphy...
They like my work and the way I go around with the kids.
Besides not being so nice to say no I also need that gig.I spent the last hours researching about LARP but I can't see so far what I might be able to do.
Any ideas?

I have an interview coming up and i'm trying to figure out the best way to present my work. It has been a few years since I had to do this.
Most everything i do now is digital (digital media/social graphics, mobile apps, tv streaming app, ect). I do have some print/advertising projects from my past. Is it bad to just use my laptop and show PDFs? I don't want to rely on my portfolio site b/c i can't plan on having internet connection.
Wondering what some of you guys do or like to see on an interview. Thanks!
- if you like your portfolio site and it is up to date, create hotspot on phone, connect, make website full screen and jobs a goodun.fadein11
- if you don't think your site represents you as well as you'd like, create a presentation in Keynote or possibly PDF yep.fadein11
- i interview designers regularly, most impactful are large colorful prints on sturdy media and/or an iPad you can swipe through. Bring your own wi-fi/data.imbecile
- large colourful prints of digital work imbecile? that surprises me.
Saying that I haven't had a job interview in 20 years, I just show prospective clients workfadein11 - Thanks for the idea Fadein! I completely forgot about setting up a hotspot with my phone. I do like the way my portfolio site represents my work.OP31
- Imbecile, I feel ya with the print outs, its always nice to have something tangible. Just don't think my digital work would be well represented.OP31
- no probs.fadein11
- we hire print illustrators, we want to see people proud of their work, not everything is interactive design hereimbecile
- if someone showed me a print of a website, I may look at them strange. :Dimbecile

So I’m currently playing poker at Harrahs Casino and think I just shook hands with Samuel Jackson and he asked what was in my wallet. So fucking surreal.
- So you gave your wallet to him and you're typing this while you wait for him to come back and return it?ETM
- I will say this, after my encounter I went from $400 to $1,600.

Ok so after posting that nonsense about my girlfriend leaving the country and not feeling any emotion towards it. 3 weeks in and I'm a gibbering, often crying, mess that misses my lovely girlfriend more than anything in the world. She's travelling through Asia at the moment before settling in Germany, so can't even talk to her due to no Wi-Fi. Long distance relationship doesn't really seem appealing but I do love that special little fucker so much.
Rip away lads. Rip away. I'm a sad, lonely cunt.
- sorry man :(moldero
- sorry to hear that, genuinely. if you a fancy a pint soon I am in London a fair bit. I doubt I would cheer you up though haha. It willfadein11

- ha yes, always thought thatfadein11
- Sorry set. Just give a try to the long distance relationship, it can't be much worse than what you're going trough now, no?dyspl
- feelsApeRobot
- Detritus your comment genuinely made me do a lolset
- Fair point dyspl but I'm thinking maybe just letting her go and moving on might be a better option for my sanity. We shall have to see.set
- Good, that was the aim! :)
(My non-smiley was supposed to come straight after my post - wasn't a response)detritus - We've agreed that no matter what happens we'll stay best friends forever. She does want to come back, and will, in two and a half years. Long time though....set
- A lot can happen in almost 3 years. Big part of me just thinks why waste our time when almost inevitably one of us will meet someone elseset
- For a second fadein, I thought you said 'It will get easier (cliche I know). Or you can reconsider and join the Army'set
- haha - I bet you thought what a cunt lolfadein11
- I dunno - it took me fucking years to find 'my best friend' as a partner. Pussy's easy to find, a soulmate not necessarily.detritus

- But yes, very true detset
- Quit the job, sell the assets, buy the flight and go join her in Asia! Life is freaking short, take a risk. Then figure it out in Germany when you get there.shapesalad
- Gnash, sounds like you're trying to convey instructions to fix the starship enterprise.set
- And propose when you meet her in Asia. What woman isn't going to love you for doing that crazy shit.shapesalad

- I'll toying with the idea of going to india for a month with her but that won't be for two months, and I'm thinking by then I'll have dealt with all the emotionset

- Really appreciate all of the advice :)set
- If it's true love, all that you've built as your comfort zone is (or will become) irrelevant, weak, meaningless, powerless ....in the face of true love.chukkaphob

- I think it's great that you know the person that makes you feel on a level like this. It's so easy to say "follow your heart," but it's not always that simple.monospaced
