Hi All,
Tonight I have taken the first step in getting away from the monster that is Google. Gmail and blogspot will have to give way and soon my blog, my email and my photos will have their own website. Deviant Art will still be my go-to website for my development as an amateur photographer.
So watch this space for a link to the new site sometime in the near-to-mid future and those of us whose email I have, keep your eyes on your inboxes for my new address.
Best Wishes,
Sez
EDIT: For those of you who are interested in watching it all unfold (very slowly) check out my new home: Sezmeralda's Parlour.

Suspending the Suspension
For most movies - especially fantasy movies - we put logic and reasoning on hold and forget that magic doesn't exist and that Bruce Willis probably isn't bulletproof. That's suspension of disbelief.
But have you ever stopped suspending your disbelief and thought - if only this happened, the whole movie would be completely different? I think we all have at some point, haven't we?
Will you suspend your suspension with me now and watch a clever little video about the Lord of the Rings which will leave you asking ... "Yeah - why didn't it happen that way?"

I Am Addicted To Llamas
Not actual llamas.
The llamas on Deviant Art.
I don't know why I want them so bad but I think it is a self-worth thing. More llamas means more people like me. Even though I know it's not true. Maybe it's a competition thing - more More MORE!
Here's my Deviant Art Profile Page:
But back to llamas. You can't give someone a llama until you receive one. I wandered aimlessly through the halls of DA for about a week before someone gave me a llama. Then I had one llama. From there I can go about the website giving llamas to anyone I want and it costs me nothing at all. But I can only give one llama to each person. Sometimes people return the favour, and after a while the llamas get "better." Over on the right hand side of my profile page (near the scroll bar) you can almost see my llama. Here's a close up of someone else's llama:
See it there? It's golden coloured with a red bow tie and sunglasses. Let's see how many people had to give this person llamas for them to be classed as golden:
Now lets look at how many llamas I have been given:
I know there aren't 73 people on DA who think I am awesome (especially since I've had to give more than twice that away) but I am still proud of my albino llama.
I just wish it were a ninja llama.

Yah, click on the image to go to my actual DA page and find out what kind of soup I'm holding in my hand...

The Call of Cthulhu... Dice
Cthulhu.
Monstrous, unknown, beyond evil, mind-shattering, tentacled madness wrapped in warped insanity.
The Last King Has Come.
I haven't read a lot of H.P. Lovecraft, but I've read enough to want to read more. Preferably in the middle of the day. With people around. Sane ones. With tranquilizers. The Call of Cthulhu - read it. (For the unbelievably low price of just your sanity.)
And now, and in colour, Cthulhu Dice!
"Cthulhu Dice lets you drive your rivals mad . . . very, very quickly. Players take turns rolling the big, beautiful, custom 12-sided die, embossed with tentacles, Elder Signs, and more. Destroy your opponents' sanity! Better yet, steal it. But watch out for Cthulhu – when he comes up, he takes sanity from everyone! 18 glass Sanity marbles are included. Lose all your marbles and you're mad. The last sane cultist wins . . . unless everyone goes mad together. Then Cthulhu wins!"
Yay!
Although Cthulhu (and Lovecraft in general) is all mind-shattering, terrifying concepts & stories, the games we play with them are actually light-hearted and fun. We enjoy an evening of CoC as a break from the stronger, more serious games which we play, and if anyone is interested I can arrange an evening of Munchkin - Call of Cthulhu which adds another dynamic and a lot more fun.

Arduino Prototyping Boards
Check out the Arduino website.Arduino provide software and the designs for hardware to create a small electronic prototype board. They use an AtMega8 microprocessor which from memory should be able to handle almost any basic design simulation. Now all I need is a design which would require one.
