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.

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.

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.


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 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.
