Har har, I’ve got a Gmail account. Been itching to try it out because I was rather curious to see how Google minimalism would be translated to a webmail interface, and I must say, they’ve done it again. Very slick, very lightweight and fast and with some very well executed ideas.
I love how they show your messages in threads, and the interface is impressive to say the least.

And on another note, equally minimalistic, Apple announced the new iMac today, and boy is it yummy.
Ofcourse I’d still prefer a PowerMac (hehe, aside from the fact I’m broke as a bum) but from a design point of view I think this is perfect. And ofcourse this is the only way I’d be able to squeeze an additional comp on my desk.

For some reason I think that’s the funniest Flash movie ever and I’ve had it on repeat for at least half an hour.

Last day at work today, mixed feelings. On the one hand I feel a bit bleh about how things turned out and my career there going down the shitter, on the other hand I’ve been walking around with a big grin all day because I know things are gonna change. New opportunities, new environment, new people, new chances. Good things. And the sun’s shining, everything’s already green outside.
Yeah, I can live with this.
Tomorrow it’s onward to the CWI to make sure I get my unemployment benefits stuff taken care of and then it’s vacation/jobhunt time.

Things could be worse. Granted, they could be a lot better as well but right now I’ll settle for ‘they could be a lot worse’.

Still some unfinished personal stuffies to take care of… although I’m getting more and more the impression that’s a one way thing and I’m the one not moving on…
Live and learn.

Vacation time.

Been playing around with some graphics again, the text is from Seabound’s Avalost:

How would you survive the end of the world?

Cunning. Through use of many of life’s faculties,
you’ve managed to suceed greatly. It may not
seem so to many, but isn’t the the point most
times? It’s only a matter of knowing more then
the others, right? I’m scared of people like
you, but in the same time, admire the ability
to see more then just the big picture; you see
yourself in it every time. You survived the end
by knowing who to knock down so you got that
last spot in the bunker… nicely done.

until Shimi reminded me. *makes a note to pick up the series where I left the next time I have money… some day*

So, seeing as a blog isn’t a blog without some quizzes here and there, here’s an Elfquest one:

What Elfquest Leader Are You Most Like?
by Peacepine at For Elf Eyes Only

I guess this is the first real entry I’ve made here, the others were just for testing.
I still have NO idea if I’m gonna use this for real, seemed mostly a fun thing to add for our community.
But me writing everyday stuff here, or thoughts and feelings… I doubt it. So maybe just some random ramblings

See, now I’ve already thought of everything I want to say here… for now. Been busy working on the first 2 skins for this blog and they’re still not finished, it’s late, I’m tired and Shimi just p00fed from chat.
So I’ll give her a few minutes to get back or I’m Zzzzzz…

*crosses fingers* Testpost #1, let’s see if this shit works.
