reaper minis
Scott Kurtz (PvPOnline) recently took a tour of the Reaper Miniatures HQ in Denton. He writes:
Reaper does everything on site, from sculpting the minis, to casting them in pewter, to sorting, packaging, and shipping out internet orders. They make their own paints on-site (after working with Sherman Williams to make the best paint for pewter), […]

how to create custom ringtones in iTunes 8
I recently upgraded my mobile from some random piece-of-junk to one of the new iPhones (the 16GB 3GS). One of the things I had wanted to do was create custom ringtones out of some of my favorite songs.
It’s not immediately apparent how to do this in iTunes, but after some intense Google-fu I found […]

books
My brother recently asked me if I had any good books that he could borrow. I got rid of a good chunk of my books when we moved, and only kept those I really enjoyed. Here’s the email I just sent him.

Neda
A young woman was killed today in Iran, but she wasn’t the only one. What distinguishes her fate from the others is that her final, graphic moments were captured on film and broadcast across the world and the internet. It shouldn’t be too hard to find, but be forewarned that it is disturbing.
Her name, unconfirmed, […]

Google Wave looks amazing. There’s so much I could say about it, but it would be better if you just watch:

Lookouts
The guys over at Penny Arcade have created something special and it seems to be hitting the right chord with a lot of folks, myself included.
Their latest comic, Lookouts, presents the story of a group of children learning the ways of the world in a dangerous land, strange and fantastical compared to our own.

Planet Earth - Inversed
A friend of mine sent me a link to this great wallpaper. Planet Earth - Inversed is an imagined, ancient map of what the earth would look like if the continents and oceans were swapped.

birds are weird
We had a visitor at the office this morning. He is Aviax, herald of Lord Fowlian and - like the Silver Surfer - his arrival forebodes the destruction of our world. He is also a small bird and the cutest darn thing you ever did see.

treaclemine 2.0
I had come to dislike the look of the site, so I’ve been working on a simpler, cleaner design for a while now. I may do a little more tweaking over the next few days, but overall I am happier with this version.
Thanks to fleshcakes for help with the css.
