Btw, its a great series everyone who is a fan of great animation and creative art direction nd writing should pick it up!

Sad news to report

I thought the death of Billy Mayes was bad news enough, yesterday saw the death of my lacie NAS drive. I don't know what to do! All my files seems to have gone along with it (over 200 gigs worth). I'm currently looking into getting a replacement drive within the next week or so.

If your looking for any kind of NAS drive do yourselves a favor and don't buy Lacie their stuff is absolute crap! I'm currently looking at buffalo I'm hopping their drives are made with better stuff and while I'm a it maybe I'll look into a 100pk of blank dvds too?!

Here is a reviewer who shares my sentiment and gave words to my pain that I was at a lost for, taken from the cnet site

"Slow to spin up, noisy, unreliable over time"

by eceslax on January 12, 2009

Pros: The triple interface is great. I can select the best available interface for the computer I'm using. I also like that I can stand the drive on its narrow edge to save desk space.

Cons: Fortunately it has a three year warranty. The drive is failing after just over a year. One of the two disks inside will not spin up completely. LaCie tells me to erase the drive as a test. How do you format a drive that won't even spin up?
Summary: The drive goes to sleep after a relatively short period of time. Since the drive contains two disks, and the disks spin up consecutively, it takes about 10 seconds for the drive to ready itself when accessed after it has been sleeping. When Time Machine needs the drive once an hour, and you work with the computer all day, this delay gets irritating. The drive access is also VERY loud and clacky. About a month ago the drive spinup process got MUCH louder and rougher, and even after achieving full rotational speed the drive was quite noisy - moreso than usual. The tech tells me this is because of faulty data on the drive and that I have to erase the drive and report back to him, or else they can test the drive at my expense. Now I need to purchase another drive to hold my Time Machine data so I can do the test. You can bet I won't buy a LaCie. In fact, I'm on CNET.com tonight to look at other reviews so I can pick a different brand. I should have learned my lesson from all the LaCie Porsche drives I bought that were filling up landfills in less than a year's time. (Five or six of them - I forget.) I selected this particular drive initially because of the form factor, aluminum case, and triple interface (not in that order) but you know what? There are other triple-interface players in this market, LaCie. Buh-bye

Transformers 2 times

I just got home from seeing Transformers for the second time! Frankly, I don't see the difference between a regular screen and the Imax screen though I am less dizzy. I love the movie btw, again can't wait till the third movie!

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen review

This was an awesome movie, I was fortunate enough to see an early screening of it at my local IMAX theater. Michael Bay and comp. did an excellent job and in many cases an even better job then the first movie in scale and scope of the overall movie.

The twin transformers will have you laughing throughout the entire movie. Megan Fox is still hot but at times I fell like I wanna wash her face (kinda oily). Devastator is a beast by the way and Bumblebee is gansta too!

I really can't wait another two or three years to see the final movie, I hope to see some powermaster or headmaster action in the final movie.

The only thing i wished the movie had more of was the transformation sound fx that the original cartoon had but that was the same issue I had with the first movie.

4 out of 5 stars!

Privateer Press Releases the jacks of Retribution of Scyrah

Privateer Press is showing off more photos of their new faction the Retribution of Scyrah with some new jacks which so far are all named after Greek monsters.

Here is the cover art for the new faction.


The Hydra


The Manticore


The Phoenix


The Gorgon


The Griffon


The Chimera


In my opinion these are some of the best models I've seen in a very long time, I can't wait to see how the community will paint and modify these.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Just got these images in and what is of interest to me is the way sideswipe's robot form is designed, he has wheels for feet. One of my drawings of a robotic character also has wheel feet! I'm not mad or annoyed by this not one bit! In fact it shows that my robots designs are good enough to be in a summer blockbuster movie!

The other pictures are of Springer and Mudflap, Devastator and Ravage needless to say I can't wait till this movie hits June 26, 2009
