Has it been longer then a minute since I last touched down. A quick update of things that have been and things that might just come.

First of all, I've been getting into this photography thing. villainousimages.110mb.com. It has also been sometime since I updated that site. Don't worry though, I have plenty more pictures from the past few months. Just need to make some time to get them up. Been wandering around the city, not always aimlessly. wandered through an abandoned mental asylum. Peep those shots out soon enough.

Second: I moved back to Melbourne. Maybe that should have been first, whatever. I'm back, and thats really all that matters. Moved into the north of Melbourne. Near enough to Brunswick street to make the rent worthwhile. Great breakfast at 2 in the afternoon.

Finally I suppose is third. I'm as lazy as ever. Had a job. Quit. Need a job. Not really looking. Haven't done any new designs since leaving Bendigo. This place just doesn't have the right vibe. It actually lacks any real vibe to be truthful. The vinyl floors don't help any. But I am looking to get back into it all. Was inspired earlier today in fact. So the juices are on there way to being boiled. Not keeping a close eye on that though, you know the old adage. Watch it and your fucked. Period. Need to also force my self into being inspired. Have been contacted by a few websites about advertising and distributing my gear. Get some okay cash going through that, then maybe start with some of the bigger ideas i haven't yet told you guys about.

I'll try and keep you all up to date. Once a week? Maybe? Is that good enough? Get those designs up here a.s.a.p. Not so quick was it.

- Keep on keepin' on, peace.

REVIEW: The Mighty Underdogs

now this ep is just to much fun. right from the get up your thrown into a fast paced hip-hop verbal bout between the gift of gab (blacklicious) and lateef the truth speaker (latyrx). right through to the final track, that is perfectly suited for bbq's on hot days and long afternoon drinking sessions. throughout this release is a light summer vibe. lots of moog bass and arp strings. vintage synthesizers. joining them on the production tip is headnodic, drummer and producer of the very talented hip-hop/jazz band crown city rockers. with a line up of guests including mf doom, ladybug mecca dj shadow and rashan ahmad (also of crown city rockers fame) is guaranteed to satisfy any part of you musical side. the ep, aptly titled the prelude, is exactly that. a prelude to the full lp, which will be released from these guys in early 2008. and if this release is anything to go by, then i strongly suggest you go and spend as much money as is needed to get your hands on this, any other releases by these guys and all future efforts. you can purchase the ep online from giftstribution.com. find put more about gab, lateef and the rest of the quannum family over at quannum.com and solesides.com.

so, christmas is coming up, and new balance have done the right thing by creating these beauties. based on the japanese developed a-line of shoes these puppies are definitely high up on the list of useless but amazingly awesome crap that santa needs to bring me. im sure these and all the other things that santa needs to bring me are a little bit of a burden on good 'ol saint nicks wallet. so, in order to combat wallet fatigue (whatever the hell that means) i have set up a donation thing through paypal so we can all help santa out! i will be posting many more fashionable treats over the coming weeks. treats that everyone should have on their christmas list. so keep an i on this page an keep those donations rolling in. remember to bookmark or rss this blog, i'll be updating santa's list nearly every day.

just like any other day i was sitting in my chair, at my desk, browsing the web in firefox, listening to music via itunes and checking my email and various rss feeds in thunderbird. then i suddenly got inspired. i was flicking through my watched artists over on deviantart when all of a sudden, a piece of genius kicked me in the head. it was an idea for a t-shirt design, very simple, easily done in photoshop. i clicked the infamous blue and green feather and no less then 5 minutes later, the damn thing opened up! 5 minutes my mac was incapacitated. i've got important things to look at on the internet, you know? so then another stroke of genius struck me. after photoshop decided it had loaded all it needed, i moved the pointer over to the apple and checked to see if it were possible to upgrade the ram. 1gb jut isn't enough these days. good. there's a spare slot just waiting to be penetrated with a glistening new stick of ram. a quick google later and i also discovered that it would take a 2gb stick but no more, due to macbook pro's only being able to recognize up to 3gb. no problems, i'll head on down to trash and treasure and see what i can find.

a few minutes of local and international searches later, nothing. so, back to google. after some more searching i found about 6 sites that i trusted all of which accepted paypal, all of which contending for my money. now, i have a paypal account. but not one with a credit card attached. one of the even more dangerous variety. a paypal account set up with my bank account. i find the ram i want, 2gb ddr2 sodimm 200pin dr5300 667mhz, simple. some of these sites even have comment sections for previous purchasers to leave reviews on their latest acquisition. i go for one with the ravest of reviews. and wouldn't you know it, the site wants me to make the purchase with a credit carded payapl account! so do the 5 other damn sites. so i put my search on hiatus.

the next day i was back into photoshop and just couldn't stand how long it was taking for everything to come together. so, back to ebay. all it took this time was a local search, and what do you know, theres a stick just like the one i was ogling the day prior up in sydney for the low low price of $119. i snatched it up so quick my bank account didn't have time to update until the next day. the ram was sent express, as it was the main player in such a dire game of technology. it arrived a few days later. i ripped the protective packaging that seemed adamant to consume the box inside. with hands possessed by excitement i managed to open the box. newspaper, shredded. had i been duped? of course not. the ram was sitting contently at the bottom enshrouded again in one last protective layer. and to my surprise they had throne in a couple of complimentary chocolates as well. solid and thin, but with a fresh minty finish.

so as quickly as i had opened the box i had flipped my mac over, removed the battery, unscrewed the cover to the ram bay and was confronted with another dilema. i couldn't remember how to slot the ram in. i've done it before in many different machines, but never a laptop. never a macintosh laptop. i did have instructions though. albeit they were on the mac and i couldn't really be bothered turning the mac on until the ram was safely secured into its new home. so, like a monkey fishing for ants with a stick i figured out how to pop the ram out and back in again. the ram was in, the cover on and the battery replaced. i booted it up. i checked 'about this mac' once again and there it was, 3gb of ddr2 sodimm 200pin dr5300 667mhz ram.

now for the test. i opened up thunderbird, then firefox, thirdly itunes and last of all photoshop. i clicked them all one after the other as fast as possible. test it proparly. within a minute they were all up. emails sounding off, home pages loading, music blearing and brush palettes were being defined! success! so after all that, all i wanted to do was a simple little design, and here it is.

to buy ram on ebay go here.
for instructions on how to install your new toy go here.
to buy this shirt, wait a few months untill i have everything up and running.

REVIEW: The Shepherd's Dog

2007-11-08T21:44:00.000+11:00

i just got this album yesterday and already i've played it through 20 times. at least! it can take quit a lot to impress me when it comes to music and sound. partly due to me becoming bitter in my old age and partly because i've studied audio engineering, so i know what needs to be done to make something sound so beautiful and lush. the second iron and wine's sound caresses your ears you want to be around a camp fire, playing these songs to family, friends and whomever happens to be wondering in ear shot of you camp site. having never heard of iron and wine or the genius behind this troupe, sam beam. i was bemused at first, 'how could an artist this good elude my ears for so long?' not to worry though, i know who he is and what hes capable of, so i'm saving up every last piece of shrapnel and im going hunting for everything sam beam.

You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

i haven't been one to go out and pick up the latest colour way in the ever expanding line up of nike shoes. infact i've never actually gone out and purchased anything nike. that is until now, i hope. the new line of nike air's, the nike air trainer 1, have come to my attention via street wear news site: high snobiety. i've always been put off by nike flooding the already overflowing kicks market with stupid colour ways and even dumber designs. but they've managed to suck me in with these golden beauties. or maybe i have no idea on whats any good. ebay have mercy on me!
