It's supposed to look like one of those photomosaics, and I guess it does. We also had to write programs to resize the pictures into a manageable size. I like programming, but jeez it was trial and error with the loops.
I got a hand-addressed letter with no name on the return address, from a state that I was pretty certain that nobody I knew personally lived in, and thought for a brief instant that maybe one of you internet dudes had decided to send me shit for no discernable reason other than to creep me out a bit in a "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE" kind of manner.
Turns out it was a announcement that a cousin (I, uh, think?) that I barely know got engaged to some guy I've never met.
I suppose it speaks poorly of my character to say that I find the reality far, far less exciting than my stupid and paranoid delusion.
So I just discovered a new, fantastic webcomic. Kinda reminds me of Perry Bible Fellowship. Pretty damn good art and consistently funny. http://truckbearingkibble.com/ if anyone has ever heard of it.
He posted here when he first started that, I think.
I have tested this myself, so if you want to send me creepy hand-written stuff just send it to:

It will come through. I used to work at the post office and they have people called "the wolf men" whose only job is to make sure that poorly written addresses find the right person.

Yeah, I remember the I Platypus comic.
The T-Rex western one is gold.
Edit: and yeah I remember the platypus one too because I was on a platypus kick at the time drawing many many platypus so that made my day.

I just laughed out loud when I read the T-Rex Western one, hahah, so good.
I get to go home tomorrow! After being stuck in Hawaii since Iraq, I finally get to go home and see my family for the first time in like 8 months. I'm excited!
Plus when I come back I get to start being the new Combat Photographer for 3rd Marines.
Hey, I just wanted to go back 3 pages back and then back into the other Chat thread and back a couple pages to where the discussion was on books and Cormack McCarthy .. YES! He is a fantastic writer. I have (counts in his head) 7 or 8 of his books including The Road (very kick ass), No Country (very kick ass), All the Pretty Horses (the whole trilogy is kick ass) and want to up the ante to his book Blood Meridian. This is what Steven King wishes he could have written when he started the Dark Tower series. Blood Meridian is fucking magic.
Well, my new camera body came in today. Now, because I'm like a kid that got what he wanted at Christmas with this sort of thing, I have a raging movement based pain in my wrist. Woot.
Just had a new project dropped in my lap. Seems that I get to install the new version SMS and test it out because a client wants to use it. Then I made the silly comment "Why don't we use it on our own network. It's a good tool. I used it when I was at a previous employer." So I think I'm pretty much going to be in charge of yet another piece of the pie. I need a raise.

Demand one. Politely. Seriously, if you're putting that much in and you don't see a single extra dime, you should do something about it.
In a completely unrelated matter, I tried Oblivion today at a cyber cafe for the first time and really liked it. I want to get it, but my laptop is not a god-machine like the PCs in th cyber cafe.
I have 2gb RAM, Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz, 256mb nVidia GeForce 8600M GS- will I be able to run it?
I have a desktop with a Core 2 Duo 2ghz, 2gb RAM, and a GeForce 8600 GTS 256mb and it runs Oblivion in 1600x1200 at max everything flawlessly, so you should be fine.

yes, you can run oblivion well with that machine
In regard to the most important hardware, it really is. Speakers, screen glare, and battery life suck though.
I wish i could run oblivion like that.
