Final Super Last Chance!

Today is officially the last day for the NES Mario sprite sculpture on eBay! Bid on him now! After this I will be putting most, if not all, future "products" in a fixed price store to open shortly.

One more time!

I've listed the NES Mario sculpture on eBay one more time. Got a lot of watchers but no bids! Aiee! So yeah. Bid on it! Once Mario sells I'll be listing some of the other sculptures. And once my current "stock" runs dry I'll start taking suggestions for new sculptures to make (Commission based? Community poll? Who knows!).

So check it out and tell your friends!

Last Day!

Last day for the NES Mario sculpture on eBay. So quit watching it and start bidding on it!

Sprite Sculpture Away!

I've decided to start selling off some of my left over sprite sculptures from my Senior Thesis project. I'm starting off with the NES Mario sculpture and have put him on eBay. So... I think you should bid on him right now.

No More Picks

So... The suicide pool was cancelled because of most people forgetting to submit their picks. Also, I went 8-15 with my picks so... I should probably stop! Oh well. Go 'skins!

NFL: Week 2 Picks

Last year this idea was kind of a bust, and I'm already failing this year, but let's have some fun and make some picks for this week. I wonder if I'll be able to keep this up this year? I do have some incentive to keep it up this year, as I do have to make picks for work's suicide pool.

Bold = Win
* = Suicide pool pick

Caution Man

I had a random spot of inspiration and gave the Caution Man page on BWISH a splash of color and interesting-ing-ness... ness.

So... How about that Rain Thief? Mike is missing in action and I need words in which to make pretty! Ahh! So um, at this point it'll come out when it comes out. Sound good? Good.

Launched

Huzzah! The new site is officially live. Take a look around. There's really not much new in terms of content (Shocking!), but there are a couple of things. There's a couple of random new pieces of digital photography and I threw in some new photos in the senior thesis gallery.

The main purpose of this updated was to make it easier and quicker for me to update, implement some fun Twitter functionality, and give the site a much need facelift (the previous site was so... boring and dark). So I hope you enjoy it.

Next on the plate, finish up the official Rain Thief page and get it started once Mike finishes up his rewrite (We've been retooling it, hence the delay. Plus we're lazy...).

So yeah, welcome to the new site. Be sure to check back during certain times of the day; there might be a little surprise!

Sprites away!

Out of curiosity, if I were to sell some sprites, what cost would you give them? I know I want to sell a few and will probably start with ebay to get a few real numbers, but I'm just curious what other people would say they cost.

Wii Fit

So yesterday was my birthday. I am now a quarter century old. That pretty much makes me a dinosaur at this point. No gray hair, but I'm definitely starting to see the wrinkles forming. Gasp!

One of my birthday presents, generously given to me by my parents, is Wii Fit. I've always been intrigued by it but never had enough desire to buy it myself. I gotta say though, it's pretty sweet. I've been pleasantly surprised by the variety of "games" in it, and you get a pretty good workout from some of the strength training and yoga poses.

I'm curious to see how this affects my current health crusade. It's almost got me thinking about DDR again... but no! I must resist. The wife has already shared her thoughts on DDR many many... many times.

On a side note, the justinbevans.com redesign (Total redesign!) is about 80% complete. I expect a weekend launch along with some Rain Thief visible Rain Thief progress.
