Christmas Cheer
Update 28/12/2005:
My lawyers have informed me I need to give credit to original art posted on this site. As far as the dunny humour and Reckon diary go possession is nine tenths of the law so just try me Dave. Any album art owned by Rattus Corp however is great and my blog is barely worthy to show it. (This is not a paid for statement by Rattus Corp)
Update 30/12/2005:
It occurred to me that Rattus Corp, like RIAA doesn't care about the artists and is only concerned about their cut.
Something I travelled to Japan to hear. Doughnuts
Now with Album Art
So anyway I did all right for Christmas, I didn't have to work - but I'm on night shift for New Years. I got a pressure sprayer for washing the car and stuff, some Logitech z3 speakers and a Laserpod. It's basically a laser projected through a crystal onto a wall or ceiling. I would describe the patterns it makes a cross between Qix (with todays graphics) and fire. Very cool.
I've been looking at 42 inch plasma displays as a replacement for our 63 cm TV. These things are getting so cheap these days, we got them at work 6 years ago and they were $14,000 each, I'm hoping to get one for around $1,600. If you bring this up as a topic for discussion eveyone launches into their opinion as to what to get - HD plasma, LCD, Rear projection TV, Projector and screen etc. HD is good but expensive, Foxtel is only SD anyway so I'm not spending an extra $3,000 for some extra pixels. LCD would be good in a small room but still expensive. Rear projection look great but take up a lot of space and are heavy. Projector is still an option but I'd prefer to have a big room for it. So it's a nice cheap SD plasma for now.
I'll put up the next ten computer shops tomorrow. I just looked at the temps in Melb for this week, blargh... Three days 35 deg C, going to be shit sleeping after nightshift.
On a final note here is a pic from another forum, just a random pic I found very amusing. I think it was originally a computer rage/anger management thing but the new comment is just awesome. Not sure why it makes me laugh but there you go. Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas to you too and I must say YOU BASTARD!! I've had my eye on a laserpod for yonks but can't bring myself to buy one (yet). Wanted one ever since I saw one in a cool computer mod. The photos of the effect don't do it justice I fear. With you on the TV front. Plasma is good and cheaper than LCD . The only other I would think about is projector but only good in low light, not for casual chatting and eating TV viewing. Nigel bought a really expensive one which covers the whole wall of his small room. Very high rez even through PC. Sadly he's only watched 2 DVDs through it and mostly uses it to check his email, even though he also has the largest Apple cinema screen in the same room. Oh to be liquid.
Hey Bag, what about my bloody credit for the skillful mastering and packaging design of the fine audio art of "Bagshaw Eats Doghnuts"???I want acknowledgement or you'll not be permitted to enter Rattus Corp. Studios again!
As chief archivist Bag, you are welcome to full credit for revealing the dunny, and reckon stuff (although you fail badly when the Red Book comes into play) but don't forget to mention who actually created 'Bagshaw eats Doughnuts'.And all done on an Ensoniq Mirage and 4trak tape mixer without sequencer (as if that wasn't obvious). Oh and a shaw mike to capture that sweet lyric voice.
Yes, how could I forget Dave...hmmm...
Let us consider:
1. I never knew about it until I came to Japan
2. You imply that Bagshaw eats doughnuts, what evidence do you have to back this up?
3. You smell
4. David eats worm food
