Ruki watching the snow

February 10, 2010

0

She was really focused on something out that window. Ruki spent some time today sitting in that window meowing at the snow. I’m not all that sure what that was about. I also don’t get why she loves this window so much. It’s lower than the others so that may be it. But this is her [...]

Kitty Norville: Facebook & Playlists

February 10, 2010

Another thing I’ve been working on for Tor lately has been setting up a fan page for the Kitty Norville books on Facebook. I didn’t mention the page online anywhere until Carrie posted the cover for Kitty Goes to War on her blog. I wasn’t sure the word was out that Tor is pubbing her [...]

Some Bourne stylized trailers

February 10, 2010

At ye old day job (and yes, I did just post a link to Twitter instead of our website. So there!), I usually don’t work on the creation of videos. My side of things is distribution. Sure, sometimes I get asked my opinion during the rough edit versions of them and that’s fun…. But I [...]

Two new paper craft books

February 7, 2010

Woot! My freaking sinuses have cleared up enough that I can finally flip through my two new paper craft books. Yay! (Still don’t trust myself to pick up the exacto yet though. Vision still kinda wonky. I might cut off my thumb! Eek! :P) I ordered Paper Cuts after seeing it on Cindy Ferguson’s blog. [...]

I like this. Thought it was beautiful. But it does feel like an extended trailer to something more to me. Leap A science-fiction short film about a young man who accidentally discovers that he can travel between two parallel worlds. He soon realizes that doing so has deadly consequences. Leap from Dan Gaud on Vimeo. And here’s a montage [...]

Google Reader Tricks

I saw this posted on CrafyPod. While it’s focus is on reading craft blogs, the tricks can be applied to any blogs you read. I love sorting everything by folders. I never realized you could find out information about your own blog, nor did I ever think of actually tagging posts before. Google Reader Tricks [...]

Amazon & Macmillan

I went to bed knowing there was an issue after seeing it posted on Scalzi’s blog, and having a fan question where the WoT books went on Twitter. But, really, I thought it was a technical glitch with bad timing. I emailed someone at work an fyi and left it at that. This morning I [...]

Scherenschnitte: Lion Hearted

January 28, 2010

Cindy posted a new template on her scherenschnitte blog, so I gave it a try. I cut it out three times for practice and added a hat to one of the cats. And of course I arranged them here in sort of a scene. :P You can download the template to try yourself here. Ooh, and check [...]

Oh like this wasn’t expected. Ever since a certain someone posted this on her Facebook wall I’ve been listening to it nonstop. :P Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros official site | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube

Making a loaf of gluten-free bread

January 25, 2010

0

I got a bread machine for Christmas. Woot! I asked for it because store bought gluten-free bread is not only expensive, it’s pretty gross tasting (at least by what I’ve tried so far). The consistency is cardboard.  I picked out the Breadman because it has a gluten-free setting. I also like that it has a [...]
