Magnetic bracelet

It's just a bunch of magnets, but the video makes it look cool. (Sorry, I tried, but can't imbed the video. Here's the link.)

From one sheet of metal...

Amazing sculptures! Kind of falls in the same catagory of those paper art.

Lego car factory

Yikes! It really makes lego cars! The video is a bit long, though. But at the end, a car does roll off the assembly line.

Dollar bill origami

Actually not that impressive. But the idea of using bank notes has it's appeal. And there's a "Homer Simsons" origami dollar bill. (^_^)

Omelette rice mouse cover

"Omelette rice" seems to be a Japanese thing. (Is it really?) Since the rice is inside the omelette, maybe it should be called "rice omelette" instead? The mouse doesn't need a cover, but it might be good for spooking your colleagues with...

Paper art (3)

No rough, no sketches, no pencil. Only eyeballing, a piece of paper and a pair of scissors. That person does it often enough to have a blog.

Dinner blog

A Japanese house wife's blog on "what's for dinner tonight" and other everyday life events. Looks yummy!!

3D modeling machine in Akihabara

According to this article, there's a company on the 4th floor of the UDX building in Akihabara that accepts 3D data and make it into a sculpture. It doesn't say if it's for the public, or the price. If it's not too expensive, I'd love to try it!

More snowman!

41 snowmen. Some are funny, some are cute!

Sakura... 2nd round?

Near my place. 51th Ave, 2 blocks west of Knight Street. There are some on 53rd too. Nothing near those in Burnaby, but still quite nice.

Happy birthday...

... and thanks! (^_^)

Photoshop chimera

Interesting Photoshop touch ups!

Dandelion

Someone likes dandelion so much, it's planted in a pot... !

Homework

Putting together kits is more tricky than I thought. Yup... made a few mistakes, yikes...

BBQ pig

When my niece first saw this, she said, the pig eats the stick and poops it out right away...

The pig is even smiling... creepy....

Bus ads

A bunch of interesting bus ads. They won't make you laugh outloud, but nevertheless interesting to look at.

Black Friday

Let's see... it was raining, and I got gutter water pour all over my left side. My boss was having bank account problems. I hope it's not identity thieft.

Paper art (2)

I like these better than the last bunch.

Kanako Ono figurine

... from Genshiken, by Kaiyodo, as a freebie with Afternoon magazine. I bought mine for $12. Now it's only $5 at Iwase. Guess it's too obscene. (Her boobs are spring-loaded and bounce.) But the sculpt is excellent.

Paper art (1)

Nice! But... (1) takes up a lot of space, (2) those seem to be old books and will disintegrate eventually. Is it worthy to spend a lot of time making the art with something that doesn't last?

Snowman in April

Nooooo kidding...

Sakura in Burnaby

Argh! I forgot the street name already! From the photo... it's Lillooet? And what's the cross street...? Aaaaargh I want my missing brain back!!

Seems nice to live on that street, but it comes with sakura tourists. (^_^)

Evangelion postage stamps

Oops... kind of forgotten about it. The release was over a month ago (Feb 23). Here's an article (and picture) from a Japanese blog with a cute Rei Pinky. Here's the official site talking about the stamps.

Sakura @ QE Park

Sakura jam

Thanks Sora my Japanese blog friend for this Sakura jam. It's made with sakura flowers petals. So pretty, I don't want to open it... (^_^)

3 days...

So, my uncle has one week left not because of his illness, but the decision of the doctor on not to give him a feeding tube, so that he would "dry up naturally". Hey wait a minute. That's starving a living person to death! How can that be "natural"?! My uncle did not loose consciousness although he can no longer speak. But he communicates with head movement and can answer yes or no questions.

The tubes are removed already. No food, no water, no IV, no medicine, no oxygen mask. Mind you, he has Parkinson's. He's gonna shake without medicine. Knowing that a relative is slowly being killed is unsettling. I have to admit, I've been trying to block this whole thing out, but for the past few days, I haven't been sleeping well and my stomach aches. Aren't doctors supposed to treat the sick? This one seems to enjoy making people suffer. Devil!!

Hail @ around 4 pm

Yup, it was hail alright. Right before, it was sunny. Right after, it was sunny too. The weather was screwed up...
