Engaged!
Friday was our 3 year anniversary, so I took Emma away to a swanky hotel for the night, popped the question and she said yes! 
Akiba Stabbing
This is really bad, what’s happening to our beloved Akiba?!
3D Gundam!!
I love the crap that can be found on Youtube…
Part of me thinks “you geeks” and part of me also wishes i’d thought of making a video like this first!
Wiieel!
I’m a little late to the game with this, but here’s my offering to the homemade Wii Wheel circle! I think it’s a very strong contender for shittest ever!
Please pay special attention to the space cut for the IR, and a small hole allowing access to the sync button! Not to mention that fantastic looking clear plastic B-button!
Being derived from a paper plate it also doubles up as a snack holder! I’m open to offers for this little piece of awesome 
Otaku Battle!
Possibly the coolest thing i’ve seen all day.
Teletext Style Quiz
This is a little proof of concept of a pop quiz wuich i’ve designed to look like it’s an old teletext page. Only three questions, use the remote control buttons to navigate.
Balloon Catch Game
Made another game today! i’ve been working on adapting the code i’ve already made for other applications. This has elements of both Space Survival and Coin catch, this time however you have to collect balloons flying at you, the different colours have different scores, have fun!
Another Game of Mine!
Made another game at work today, this one didn’t take long at all but i’m really happy with some aspects like the fact the coins build up in the hand as you progress - took a while to work out how to get Flash to advance to the next frame instead of a specific frame number! Anyway enough boring… enjoy!
Saltaire Boathouse Arson Attack
Yesterday morning we heard from friends that the Boathouse Inn had been subject to an arson attack on Friday night, and sadly the local papers website confirmed this.. http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/mostpopular.var.2189254.mostviewed.arson_fears_in_historic_saltaire_pub_blaze.php
I’ve enjoyed a good few drinks down at the Boathouse and while walking the dog today decided to go have a look at the damage for myself.. (pictures pop)
This is a shot from inside the car park, damage to the roof clearly visible.
I decided to head across the bridge, and got some similar shots to the flood pictures from late last year.
Another shot from the bridge, the right hand side looks rather intact. With that in mind I decided to head back and observe the damage from the road that runs behind the building.
The ground here looks well trodden, probably where the fire brigade got in but also possibly our culprits. One encouraging thing is the plastic skylights haven’t melted, which hopefully means the blaze was fairly localised.
I really hope they catch the idiots who did this, and save the place, maybe put some extra money in to restore it and make it great again. It’s been shut for a good few months and it’s future was in doubt way before this happened.
