Knowing them, I don't think it's any carrot. Like they said it and then told me to not ever bring it up again. They are so distant and private as a person I can't see this as some invitation to help them, or that if we talk again they'll want it mentioned. It seems more like the admi...

It depends on the revelation, but I have a hunch you're referring to grief. It hits people in different ways. You may not feel anything, now, but you may in the future. When my grandfather died, I didn't really feel anything immediately, either. It took time. People deal with grief and othe...

I just had a family revelation of the worst kind. I think I'm supposed to feel something but I just feel numb.

It's not lazy if it's not resolved in the actual movie (I'm talking just the first one here). From a technical standpoint movies shouldn't leave gaping questions about their logic and probably shouldn't invite them if they're not going to resolve them. Didn't Elli...

What I mean is, the concept of chaos and the idea of life as presented in JP (stuff going wrong, "life finds a way") is put across as if what went down was natural and inevitable. The concept of the western view of god would say that it was unnatural and provoked (by wielding p...

Interesting, because those two concepts are pretty much opposed.

I'd prefer if I have to interview to do it this way, yeah... rather than trekking however many dozens (or hundreds in my case) of miles. I just know this company in this case wouldn't go out of their way for an interview though so I doubt they'd be wasting any money or time. A mo...

My reading is that it's alluding to chaos and the unpredictability of systems. A system they built from the ground up thinking they could manage ultimately broke free because with increasing complexity comes increasing unpredictability. It was always gonna happen, one way or another. The real en...

Is it a thing now to ask for webcam interviews for jobs? I've never done this cam BS in my life for any job that wasn't overseas... and for all my overseas contracts we just use Skype/email like normal people... It's not for a job for me, it's for someone else and they want to borrow...

And ignoring that teeth are nowhere near as hard as iron or steel on the hardness scale. Unless some dipshit decided to install solid aluminium bars in Jurassic Park. I'm ok with a few liberties taken in science fiction but when I read that in the book I was just like, wat? How? Who? Waaat. And ...

All they had to do was put a line in there somewhere that the company had decided to super-size raptors along with all the other dumb and impossible things they did, and I could sleep at night. Did Crichton ever explain how his raptors could chew through metal bars? I get the point of the story but ...

Aren't real velociraptors tiny compared to the ones in JP? "6 ft turkey"... moar liek turkey-sized turkey. The annoying kid in the cap was right. Why didn't they use Deinonychus instead of raptors, or some baby Allosaurus or something. Would have been closer to what they were going...

Who's wrong? Me? Everything I remember from figure drawing flashed red when I saw that fan-art. I think Shinji's neck is too short, or some thing. It's a really weird effect and has me internally screaming "hunchback!" when I see your posts now. Probably not what you were goin...

Liverpool Anglican would take at least 100 hours to record pipe by pipe (it has about 10,000). At times that are quiet outside for the quietest stops. With the cathedral empty... Maybe longer, because of the length of the reverberation that you have to wait for after each and every note. Th...

Dat setup. Confirmed for jealous. Actually making one is something else. My piano's a fullsize Yamaha electric but I don't like either of the two organ voices they've given it... I'm stuck with them. The fact you've got real recordings.... gah. Gaaarrrrgh. I wish someone would sa...

I haven't dusted the piano off in months but I just went in now to play something that came to mind and I can still remember how to play tunes I learned at age 10, but some of the others I've forgotten. It's weird how the 'hands' remember some of them, but if you tried to do it s...

Nic started learning the piano at 5, what with there being music all around, but at 7 he was getting bored, and we let him give up. When he was 8 we sent him to a choir school, and he started learning again there. The new circumstances just brought his enthusiasm out, and by the time he left that s...

I need to check out Hotline Miami 2, good beats are good even if the 1st game itself makes me spontaneously combust. Concert pianist, huh? Ah I remember starting to learn how to play keyboards age 5 (my dad was a music teacher/luthier) and someone saying "you gotta practice if you want ...

Cleaning the hard drive out and I found probably my most memorable or interesting photo take. Circa 1995. Had to crop the sides as there was dust on the sides of the lens.



Anyone who knows where this is gets a home-made [s]fly biscuit[/s] cookie.

I want to make Comic Books for a living. But I know that unless you're Jim Lee you're pretty much signing yourself on for a life of long hours, and loneliness. Yup. You won't need a degree for that, you just need a portfolio. And to practice. Comic artists tend to get the jobs just by s...
