Its a small piece but I liked it. I really wanted to do flames on my own tank at the time too, never did though.

This was an abstract oil on canvas still life using grays and mediums.

It was my abstract attempt. I liked Diebenkorn and the way his abstract paintings were done, so I tried it.
This was done with oil and mixed media, even latex house paint and what ever I could find. It’s painted on a 4×8 foot particle board. When I left UH at the end of the semester, it was too big and too heavy to carry so I sorta left it there in the art building. I wonder what ever happened to it…

This is a cool concept. Hope it goes well.
I did a search on Network Solutions (or “ns” as they like to use on everything) for SERVICE AGREEMENT since I have had it up to here with their downtime and sluggish service and figured I should kill time before I kill my computer (innocent bystander) Continue reading network no solutions.
Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests.

In any market, 20% of buyers consume 80% of your product volume. So if you target that 20%, successfully communicate with that 20%, you essentially un-niche the market within which is the niche to begin with.

This roguish grin is enough, especially when reading about how their friggin’ network was hacked AGAIN! and initial concerns and reports sent to them were blatantly ignored. Then to blame WordPress then act like it’s no biggie all the while posting to their friggin blogs (using WP), all the while brushing it off like nothing yet frantically trying to figure out what to do (or not) and then saying it was quickly fixed while in reality the hack and malicious code was propagating through their very network, infecting website, targeting directories with (home, index, login, etc) file names, finally getting BUSTED by Computer World (wurd!) and then saying it’s been resolved, ONLY to keep at it because now there’s an FTP crack happening while they say there’s a security update taking place – the grin, the, “oh we feel your pain” sympathetic psychological attempt is only adding salt to this open wound. Think about it, the issue SSL certs, have all this pull, and yet so weak. But again, this just goes to show no matter how big the company, hosts are all the same.

There was a mysterious fireball caught on cameras in the midwest April 14, 2010.
Report by CNN shows the video feeds and what appears to look like a spotlight against the clouds panning across the night sky. It said the visual was seen Wednesday night in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.

 Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2009 Awesome show and there was an impressive lineup of scale models this year! Check it out here.
I’ve been tracing the lineage of Ford Model A (plastic model) kits from any manufacturer in 1/24 and 1/25 scale. I thought this would be simple but have run into conflicts and confusion because each kit has been offered a number of times throughout the years under a new theme or name, with new packaging – and some have extras, some have less parts. There’s really no easy way to do this so I hope to keep adding and updating this post as needed. Information is included to confirmed kits, like dates that were printed on the kits or the model kit number etc. or some tag lines from the box. Although some are indicated with “NOT CONFIRMED”.
All the models listed below are Ford Model A kits. Ford Model A’s were built from 1928-1931 and have been a very popular subject in scale models for generations. Many of the base kits are 40+ years old but are still on the market today! The ever popular 1932 Ford, Model B, Roadster, Coupe and Sedan are not Model A Fords therefore are not on this list.
