@mattfraction i like the coincidence in your U.N.C.L.E. story :) in reply to mattfraction #
my checklist for today is nearing completion! Also have a great idea for a 3D portfolio template that I’ll look into this week :D #
@firebrandboy you’re welcome. the reach of my helping hand is global :D in reply to firebrandboy #

@skottieyoung I had a selection of monochrome Tombo brush pens & a Pitt pen. No mess! and I always seem to be sketching away from the house. in reply to skottieyoung #
@crazymorse instant sellout? oh wow! Congratulations! I loved the firsts volume. May have to hunt a copy down from you at SDCC :D in reply to crazymorse #
@firebrandboy looks like not till next week! ;) http://bit.ly/DF6xs in reply to firebrandboy #
Downloading demo’s of Modo, Zbrush & Mudbox. Will be researching them while travelling in July/Aug/Sep. 3 months = 3 x 30 day demo’s ;) #
@the_cody oh really? i’d have thought NZ would be a lot more expensive. i don’t feel so bad now! ;) in reply to the_cody #
@tonymoore poison ivy? geez… you’re making me itch already. I hope you’re ok man. An anti-histamine tablet may help too. in reply to tonymoore #
@the_cody I thought the same thing. Though I wouldn’t see it at IMAX again.. tix were $18 NZD ($11.60 USD) in reply to the_cody #
@the_cody Transformers film can only exist in big-budget summer cinema. I thought it was great. I wouldn’t read that shit as a novel tho ;) in reply to the_cody #
The new ‘barn edition’ monome 256 series goes on sale July 3 @ 1pm EST http://bit.ly/bBf6S #
@Templesmith You’ll be ok with US Customs. Just avoid any sudden urges to get inked with a ‘Tribal’ tattoo. That will get you shot on sight. in reply to Templesmith #
@Templesmith I’ll buy you a pint (or 6?) on preview night man. I’m a mid-week sort of guy anyhow ;) in reply to Templesmith #
@warrenellis i’d pay for hot cam action of Warren Ellis waking up at 4am (jesting aside.. have a safe trip!) in reply to warrenellis #
goodnight! today was a good project development day :D #
@warrenellis I really enjoyed this week’s Freakangels. A big thank-you! to Paul, yourself & Avatar for making this work so well :D in reply to warrenellis #
@the_cody budget is right! i’m busy getting all my creative ducks in a row while my savings dwindles. new monitors would really help tho! :) in reply to the_cody #
@the_cody ahh. thought they were the Rokit’s. I’ve been afraid to test the VXT-8s down the road because I’ll want to buy them (and an Ergo!) in reply to the_cody #
@the_cody dude! lucky save! also.. how do you like your KRK monitors? I was thinking of picking up a pair of VXT-8′s & a sub later this year in reply to the_cody #
@aldaraia ouch! maybe you’ll be able to score some husky & manly voiceover work afterwards ;) in reply to aldaraia #
@aldaraia vokoder & autotuniq will hide any problems with your voice man! ;) in reply to aldaraia #
These stuttered & glitched out beats are reminding me of the frozen audio that occurs when my computer crashes. Kinda freakin’ me out! :( #
which is more, or less, manly? eating fruit messily or eating steak messily? i’m certain some inherent psychology lies in this conundrum. #
For some reason I can listen to the madlib ‘beat konducta’ series nonstop. Permanently. He really does pick some classic retro r&b gems. #
walking in rainstorm coffee bean mission complete. heater. business card creation with InDesign this afternoon. excited!! #toomuchcoffee? #
Twitter is still counting spam-people / robots that I block as followers? I’m into counting followers but I do find this strange. #
@solkana oh well, any cinema still beats a ‘dodgy cam’ (I know people who won’t pay for any films whatsoever & only watch DLs) disappointing in reply to solkana #
@solkana we saw the film earlier tonight. really enjoyed it. IMAX viewing is highly recommended :) in reply to solkana #
@tekknikk I found the Twitter Karma tool pretty handy to cull marketing scammers and porn robots http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ in reply to tekknikk #
2am… i’ve had enough. GST & taxes can wait till tomorrow. #
doh! … mispelled habanero — only pirate’s deserve an extra R #
I succumbed to the siren call of my habarnero sauce with some corn tortilla chips. You, vixen, will be the wonderfully horrible death of me. #
@THE_REAL_SHAQ I’d talk to these guys (email details in the INFO tab) http://bit.ly/borGh in reply to THE_REAL_SHAQ #
Tax hint for business depreciable’s: make a table of the deductible value for it’s entire lifespan. You will thank yourself next tax year! #
@tonymoore dude! you gotta try smoked garlic! but truffle salt you say? i may have to look around for it #
A few months ago, a 25 gig download cap would have seemed acceptable. Now that we’re mainly working from home, we chew through the broadband #
@wetaworkshop I sense a great drain on my financial position during Comic-Con ;) Are you also tagging along with the crew? in reply to wetaworkshop #
For those that passed up reading the “LOEG: The Black Dossier”, please reconsider, as it adds greater depth to the current “Century” series. #
@lauraehall Sounds like a nice meal! We also make a coffee granita using stovetop espresso, touch of sugar & coconut cream. Great in summer! in reply to lauraehall #
This habanero hot sauce is really authentic & great tasting; but I honestly need to stop consumption for a few days to give my system a rest #
@threeAtoys @brianwood @r_sail nice to see that a few of us here on twitter are geeking out on 3A toys ;) The DIY Bambaboss looks great! :) in reply to threeAtoys #
@tonymoore I’d recommend checking out the Library of Congress photo archive on Flickr http://tinyurl.com/congressflickr (no known copyright) in reply to tonymoore #
@jock4twenty The washed out auto-icon does nothing for me either. I thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to make your own :) in reply to jock4twenty #
@_june have you authorised external apps to access ur twitter acct? Funny things can sometimes occur http://twitter.com/account/connections in reply to _june #
@Templesmith seeing as you’re all primed & savvy; could you talk to my bank too? :P in reply to Templesmith #
@r_sail the girl who plays Alice is also a Suicide Girl who happens to be into modblogging & writing algorithmic music apps for the iphone. in reply to r_sail #
@TradeMe_Jay nice! have a cool time at the film! (quiz night too!) in reply to TradeMe_Jay #
agh.. today = paperwork #
@ivanbrandon that’s the most accurate Ed Hardy assessment I’ve heard (the girls in the EH store around the corner were ‘very ‘ friendly tho) in reply to ivanbrandon #
criticism from m’lady for veering off from my immediate design brief to other ideas & designs. she’s right. my solution is to make popcorn. #
@mulch_katharine Looking forward to seeing the new forums operational! :D The current mailing list setup really fails to incite conversation in reply to mulch_katharine #
@prodigalnine Worst possibility is rabies (could mean inoculation). Also keep an eye out for nerve damage, range of motion loss & infection. #
@LilMissChrissy I had a similar ‘travelling tip’ moment a few years back: “don’t spend Easter Weekend in Tasmania” in reply to LilMissChrissy #
@LilMissChrissy The cold war tension of From Russia With Love made a strong imprint on my (then) 7yo psyche (my current psyche is 12yo btw) in reply to LilMissChrissy #
I’ve been making a transition from CAD-based software towards using Illustrator to flesh out designs. Finally starting to develop a workflow #
crikey! I mention ‘marketing’ and get 6 new follower robots (last night was 10). Block! :D #
@LilMissChrissy Europe. Bustle. Trains. Could also mean ‘bank heist’ (or organ trafficking) :D in reply to LilMissChrissy #
@sharonduchemin TX for the RT. I do feel people marketing w/ twitter behave like streetpeople; begging for money. Rude in any social medium in reply to sharonduchemin #
@solkana ooh! Giger really would bring some edgy creepiness. My suggestion would be Camille Rose Garcia! http://tinyurl.com/nxpfbg in reply to solkana #
@solkana Not terribly creepy. At least Tim Burton went ‘out of the square’ by having Johnny Depp & Helena Bonham Carter supply the acting ;) in reply to solkana #
@solkana we’re planning to catch an AM screening this week. While workers are in the office, kids in school; the self-employed watch movies! in reply to solkana #
@Templesmith A painful search. But, nonetheless, found a picture. Liefeld too! http://tinyurl.com/nmr5yc in reply to Templesmith #
@Templesmith juxtaposing topics: from what I recall, Zero was an android in a white spandex suit & white mask w/ no visible facial features in reply to Templesmith #
@Templesmith Custom’s & YVR Airport authorities should also be held accountable. Little assistance was offered over the entire 10h period #
@Templesmith re: wolverine film. Zero was also a teleporter character in the X-Force comics of the early 90′s. Part of Stryfe’s MLF. I’m old in reply to Templesmith #
@Templesmith The YVR Airport taser incident was a big topic in the Cdn news over the winter period. I feel horrible about what occurred #
hey everyone! Scott Morse in now on twitter https://twitter.com/crazymorse
(found via his blog on http://scottmorse.blogspot.com ) #
@r_sail oh nice! i might grab me one too! would be a good reason to buy an airbrush (along with a closet full of reasons) :D in reply to r_sail #
RT @CathleenRitt TweetPsych, have you tried it? Builds your psychological profile based on content in your tweets http://is.gd/18Dix #
