Xbox 360 Forbidden Characters , + ? /

For the last year or so I’ve been using Connect360 to stream video from my MacBook, whenever I wanted to watch it on the big screen via either Mike or Kitty’s Xbox 360s.
However, I keep all my films and TV shows on a 500GB external hard drive, that has both FireWire and USB 2.0 ports:

Clock Radio

Back when I was tiny, I had an alarm clock next to my bed that had glowing red numbers and a radio built in too. Then, for many years, I did not.
Now it kind of almost returns!

Time Lapse Carcassonne

If you like, you can also download a much higher quality version:

In a kind of follow-up to my Resident Evil 4: Good Guy post from over a year ago, I show proof that I really do like this game too much:

LEGO Anniversary Present

This October just gone saw the fifth anniversary of Kitty and I getting together.

LEGO Master Sword Tower (Photographs)

An addendum to my last post regarding a freshly acquired ability to render LEGO models dang naice; seven photographs of the original model:

LEGO Master Sword Tower

Official-LEGO-instruction-manual-style rendering is now something I know how to do!

LEGO Space-Tramp

Over the last couple of weeks I have accumulated four shiny new LEGO sets; a huge castle, a tiny submarine, a tight jet plane and a very yellow car.
For a little while they existed in their original forms but then I felt that space-ship-building urge I seem to get every so often and so I [...]

Sorted Alphabetically

Hoo-hah! I have got the search engine over at my comic book library to sort its results alphabetically. I’ve been looking for a way to do this, on and off, since I started using it, but had not had much luck until now, it seeming to be a feature no-one has ever seen [...]
