Eyeclops Mini Projector Problems

Hello World: waz up dude?

-> News & photos.
Hab's now finally managed to deposit my word clusters in the network.
Whom it may concern: http://www.livejournal.com/users/arni
And photos of my beloved Pentax-Baby's are now now highly-charged
: http://photos.r-knee.com/

-> language alteration.
After my subconscious mind the other day again successfully turned off my alarm clock has
and has thus stibizt a few quiet minutes, has become established my consciousness but
sometime with sleepy eyes and frightening taken note of the advanced
time. The first thought that has shaped darufhin the gray stuff in my skull and
escape as whispers my body left, was:!
"Oh shit Okay, now let's get it on ...!" Shortly
is clear to me dat dat was so English! I found it fascinating anyway ...

-> weather.
The ash rain has subsided and the daily morning fog has been cleared
, so now the morning is usually pleasantly warm, afternoon it gets
but always hot (about 30 ° C). However, my Temperatursensibiliaet
has - or should I rather write: nitpicking
- adapted very quickly, if it is at night to cool down to 15 ° C and it is getting uncomfortable with T-shirt and shorts
, for me the only appropriate word for it "cold".

- chicken> monster.
can think of so already wondering why some things over here are so cheap.
Fast food eg: Ua is certainly the in the incredible demand and
the enormous sales. But do notice it but some products such as Chicken McNuggets
example, the cost here in a 6-pack just a dollar (?).
The secret is genetically modified chickens that are grown in only 23 (!) Days from the tender Kuecker
to schlachtfaehigen, ueberproportionierten, vierbruestigen (?) Mega-chicken-
approach.
As a side effect of this well an egg - whether it be 'sunny-side up', 'scrambled', 'over easy',
'Over hard' or otherwise - a week's ration-Mega-All-In-One mix of both
necessary and unnecessary vitamin, mineral, hormone and stimulants.

-> oakley.
Last week I joined once the ID methedology-class and
'm on a 'field trip' down to the headquarters of Oakley. Sorry, unfortunately we were not allowed inside
in the design studios, but that was very impressive, what we have not seen
Sun Spectacular buildings and that in itself is already super impressive. All
Oakley items will then be designed, developed and tested. All glasses, clothes etc.
be produced there for the whole world, only a few other products are outsourced.
also have built in there, just jump ne NBA-approved basketball hall
can ensure that the NBA players every few weeks to test any prototypes. Madness!

-> fish on board.
As I recently surfing again a full wash cycle including ejection of mother nature and
get myself in the 'white water' was driven slowly, my eyes
but actually discover a stowaway on my surfboard. For
there actually a small fish jumped around on my board! Tse-tse ... ;)
weekend in Manhattan Beach, I spotted my first seal, in addition to the dolphins is
us crazy rubber creatures swim by.

Edible Silver Glitter For Drinks

Picture Of The Week: southern California's wildfires




Because of my lack of "TV time" I first didn't really know about it.
But pretty soon it was hard to ingore: hazy veil in all L.A. area
with the light smell of smoke in the air, the unusually dry air with
ash particles everywhere, and the incredible bright red sunset.
Those fires must be really huge...

What Is The Gauge Of A Safety Pin?

Picture Of The Week: workers on strike!




Those remarkable guys are workers from the biggest supermarket chains Albertsons, Vons
and Ralphs, all belonging to the so called 'union'. They stay in front of the entrances and try
to convince people not to buy anything from those mentioned supermarkets, because the
'union' cut off the payments for their health benefits.
What's so remarkeble? They've been now on strike for more than a week and
Depending on the opening hours of the markets, they are out there in different shifts up to 24 hours a day!

Male Turned In To Female

Hello World: midterm week

-> everything's fine and dandy. would like (~ peace, joy and pancakes)
I have some time and perhaps even healthy children, I
me, will you instead of the previous Papierhaeubchen a somewhat more promising risen
"correct" mask. So you can handle with a lot calmer
conscience with all the toxic chemicals that produce the wildest
dust clouds and take a deep breath in the middle of Lackdaempfe.
But the masked ball in the model shop is now over, at least! Juchuu!
For yesterday we had - according to a further collective work
sleepless night - the 'final presentation' of the first project of the 'ID studio class'. Draft
including documentation, model (physical and CAD) and presentation in six weeks.
The theme was a 'household product' and the results are also provided for
participation in a competition.
Tomorrow is already the start of the next project (in collaboration with and for
hp) and Friday 'final presentation' of the 'visual communication class'
(complete corporate image of a local coffee shops / tea house / bar / bakery).
If you then after all the stress and all the work gets good feedback, not
makes amends, but feels's to jut yet to really janz ...

-> quater pounder.
Here we use this so still fuc ... 'English system'.
At first I thought that I just do my stuff on with the brilliant '
metric system' and do the whole foot, inches, etc. forget. On the computer that's
also no problem because you have changed the units in a trice. But once
you want to build a real model then we go: In the shop there's no rulers or
angle cm, the drills and all the other tools are in inches. And if you ask people
those enhancing the plastic sheet has allowed or how large Lueftungsloecher
be in deep drawing, for example, gets a "1 / 32 inch ' replied.
What the fuck is THAT?
to mention the mph, ° F, ounces, pints, quarts, pounds .... it's such a hassle ...

-> "Can I see your ID please?".
other day I wanted to buy the Von's (big supermarket chain, a la real) 'nen Becks
sixpack and had - well prepared - with my passport. But at the checkout
I could not let me then say that this identification can not be accepted.
HELLO, PLEASE!? Until I get that damn plastic card called 'California Driving Licence
' sent, it can take between 6 months and one year. And also should
my official passport (PASSPORT!) I suppose as a unique identification
enough, right? The supervisor has sent for me, only one "I'm sorry
, we can not acept that ID" bla-bla-vorgebrabbelt Sülz.
Well, at least I got dat Zeuch in the next shop.
Even if one wants to buy paint cans have to be over 18. At my puzzled
question why this is necessary, I got a "Well, because they could do something with
it, that they should not do." replied. Aha ... alright ...!
America, America ...

-> update parking spot.
Had there the other day somehow understood what wrong with the numbers. The approximately 2,000 of
I mentioned parking on campus are in fact merely for employees. It was somehow funny to me
, especially when you see the rieeesigen parking.
Well I have now the correct number: Indeed, it is rich in total 12 450 parking places (!)!
sufficiency but still do not quite ...


take it easy,
