Stop motion animation with the camera fixed to the ceiling. Really very clever!

Very much liking Wired’s idea for a Diet Coke+Mentos prank, involving freezing the Mentos mints in ice cubes and leaving them in people’s drinks. Something to try at a garden party in the future, methinks…

Very glad to be finally finished and done with Uni work and overly-stressful days and nights without much sleep! My Final Major Project is in, and while I have a bit of work to do on it before I can show it at my end-of-year show, I have no more deadlines to keep! Can now get on with work that actually earns me money…

In other news, last weekend, despite my general illness and feeling down, I checked out the May London MCM Expo as I have been doing for quite some time now. I really only go for the Cosplay and the events these days- the artist’s marketplace is great for crafts that aren’t mass produced, but the main stalls from the larger stores are the same every year. Also, I can get things like that off of eBay or places like Etsy.com if I have the urge to buy plush toys or posters. I did splash out and buy a few plush cupcakes from fellow deviantARTist kickass-peanut aka Hannah, and also checked out a few of my other friends’ stalls at the event. All cool!

I totally dig the Cosplay meet-ups that go on at the Expo, though. One of the major events is the Bleach cosplay meet-ups, which I’ve had the fortune of being able to photograph for the last 3 or so years. I think overall I must have taken 600 photos of them all, from which I’ve selected about 100 of the best and stuck them up on Flickr for anyone to see! Definitely worth checking out- the costumes are awesome, but seeing them en-masse and acting events out is even cooler. Also it’s quite fun to see people from the previous year and see whether they’ve changed their costume…

So you should be seeing more on this blog, even if it’s just a selection of links and some of the more interesting videos I find around the web… stay tuned!

Here’s the latest in Microsoft’s poor attempt at whining about how uncool the products that run their bloated attempt at an operating system are, but you should buy them because they’re cheap. If they’ve been offered $1700 for a Laptop which they’re going to get back free, why don’t they use all of it and get something which will last them the length of her course, and further? Also Microsoft, why do you show a 13″ MacBook and then show the price of a 15.4″ MacBook Pro? Misleading, or what.

In other news, one of Apple’s new adverts manages to rip apart Microsoft’s whole “personal” feel to their adverts in one sentence, 4 words. Right at the end. Back to the drawing board?
