Project: Weighted Companion Cube

Filed under: Portal, WCC, chainmail, crafts — Jeff Smith @ 10:09 am

I am working of a weighted companion cube from Portal. If you don’t know what Portal is I feel sorry for you. Well here is a snap shot of the work so far. Please excuse the poor quality it was taken with a camera phone.  So far the ring count is just over 4000 rings.

Current Project: Twilight Princess TriForce Chainmail Vest

Filed under: Zelda, chainmail — Jeff Smith @ 1:33 pm

My current project is a chainmail vest. It started from a triforce square I did several months ago. I have since expanded the pattern out to include the Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess eagle. I think the eagle turned out pretty good. Now I just need to fill in the rest of the vest. I will post more as it progresses.


The Cube:Resitance is Futile

Well this is my first attempt at a chainmail cube. I think it turned out ok. It is a little bit loose but it does resemble a cube under its own weight. All in all I am happy with my first attempt. I think I will get a bit smaller of rings and try again using the same pattern.

HD DVD might be dead but this article is dead wrong.

Filed under: Bluray, Gizmodo, HDDVD — Jeff Smith @ 3:26 pm

Gizmodo is reporting that the Financial Times is reporting that Paramount has a clause in its HD DVD exclusivity contract allowing them to bail from the sinking HD DVD ship if Warner defected to Blu-ray, and they are “poised” to do so.

It would be great a great story if it were true but alas Paramount is denying the report.

It was good while it lasted.

www.geek-online.com traffic

It was good while it lasted but it looks like traffic has returned to normal.  In other words it has flat lined.  I peaked at over six thousand visitors in one day.  As a side note the traffic inspired me to pick the pilers back up and start working on a larger project.  I will say this much, it is based on the Zelda triforce emblem.  More to come soon.
