Can you print a blank page?

No printing!

Don’t remember when or where I saw the above picture, but what’s to stop somebody… printing that picture? Wouldn’t a more apt replacement for content they didn’t want printed be… a blank page?

Ultra fancy new Planitonearth maps

I spent most of today frantically packing, paying bills and buying salami for my dad for my trip back home to The Singapores, but I figured I could spare a bit of time to show you the incredibly sophisticated WebJet map my online flight booking provided. I suppose when I read the awe inspired description with a fancy service name to boot I was expecting something a little more… fancy? :)

Pixelated Snow Leopard icon problem

Pixelated

An interesting new development since upgrading my Snow Leopard install to 10.6.2, all my custom drive icons have started displaying heavily pixelated. If you think that Starfleet badge looks bad, the SOS-Dan logo I have for my Anime drive looks even worse!

Updated 2009 theme, the crowd gasps!

My new theme thingy

Given I had so much work and studying to do this evening, I decided to take a break and instead of watching another adorable episode of K-On I thought I’d fix my theme here a bit. Hit [SHIFT] if you don’t see a difference ^_^.

Train Simulator at 1am

trainsim

Sometimes a short train trip late at night through the Marias Pass train route in northern Montana with the 2001 era DirectX graphics and sky is just what I need to relax just before going to sleep.

I first got Train Simulator in 2002, it was the first game I tried on my desktop at the time, the first game I tried running with Boot Camp with my then-new MacBook Pro in early 2006 (Windows gaming on a MacBook Pro), and is still one of the reasons I keep a copy of Windows XP lying around for the 3D acceleration in software like VMware Fusion.

For someone who moved around so much as a kid and could never have huge trainsets, this was the closest I ever got, and I still find it fun :).
