GeekHarmony – 5 Minutes to Pudding

It’s been quiet here in GeekHarmony land. I blame Bioware as the root of all my current blogging failure. I’ve spent something like 80 hours cavorting with Dragon Age: Origins since I got it, and I don’t really want it to end. I know the shine will wear off eventually, and I’ll dump it for some newer, sexier, more modern creature that really takes the time to understand me and my feelings (Mass Effect 2), but for now it’s a happy love affair.

To suplement my lack of posts, I’d like to take the time to introduce FlockDraw to everyone, since it was just recently introduced to me. This is a shared paint program, basically, where all users can update it at once. And while I am a proper and completely productive individual in all aspects of my career, I did take the time today to mess around with it with my coworkers. During the tic-tac-toe sessions and drawing people getting shot with cannons, I developed a new Super Weapon that I think the military should really get behind.

The Cheerful Anvil Cannon.

Yes, the bow makes it cheerful.

Yes, this is completely ridiculous. Especially because it took me forever to figure out how to draw an anvil.

No, I don’t really care if you don’t like it.

A couple months ago, another coworker and I were talking about giraffes. (What do you talk about at work? TP Reports? Football? Pffft.) He said that they were not normally frightening creatures. I suggested that if we crossbred them with wolves, they would be more intimidating. I immediately decided I had to draw this.

Those aren’t actually supposed to be lasers coming out of his eyes, it’s supposed to be a snout. Like for a wolf. Whatever, it could still gnaw you to death in seconds and haunt your dreams.

Have I mentioned that I probably love Paint too much for my own good? I get too much amusement over drawing stupid nonsense and giggling over it. At least it’s not clubbing baby seals or driving into pedestrians. Or Twilight. But if it keeps me relatively sane and without a criminal record, then I don’t see too much harm in it.

Found this whilst shopping on Amazon.com for the inevitable Christmas bonanza of gifts I have to buy. And also a little something for my family and friends. They have some sort of payment system that will keep all of your credit card info in one place, where you just enter your “PayPhrase” and a PIN and *boom* you’ve got the Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle. Or, you know, whatever it is that you want to buy.

If you don’t have it set up already, they give a sample in the corner about one that you could set up for yourself. This was it’s honest to god suggestion for what my PayPhrase should be:

I think the internet has caught on to me…
