Adobe software is a lot like cars

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

When Adobe released the CS6 Suite, maybe one entire year after they had just released CS5, I didn’t have high expectations for it, the moment I saw that they had redesigned the software down from the splash graphics to the software’s workspaces.

Recently, I ran into a problem in InDesign CS6, where I couldn’t get a particular file to print, or export to PDF.  Upon attempting to initiate either task, the program would crash.  It was related to a problem in the file itself, as troubleshooting with blank new documents or other projects did not replicate the problem.  After about 20 minutes of frustrating unsuccessful troubleshooting, I realized that I had still not uninstalled CS5.  I saved my problematic file out as an IDML legacy file, and opened it up in InDesign CS5.

It printed without any complications.
It PDF’d without any hesitation.

In conclusion, it didn’t work in CS6, because CS6 is fucking retarded.  I thought about it for a second and chastised myself, because honestly, this was, and shouldn’t ever have been, much of a surprise.

Peggy Bundy has aged very well

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

When Seth Green mentioned Katey Segal during Comedy Central’s Roseanne Roast, and the camera panned over to this voluptuous woman, my first thought was “holy shit, that’s Peggy Bundy?“

Growing up as a dedicated Married With Children fan, I never really thought Peggy Bundy was at all that attractive.  I mean I get it, there she was with her bouffant hair and her stretch pants and high heels always accentuating her large bust and shapely figure, but it never did it for me.  I don’t think it really was meant to do it for most guys.  But I could see how some might find the physical features appealing.  I never did.  Maybe it’s because of the successful development of a character that’s supposed to be the ultimate boner-killer that did it for me, but for all intents and purposes, I never found Peggy Bundy that attractive.

However seeing Katey Segal now, 15 years after the last episode of Married With Children aired, I’m kind of like whoa.

To cut to the chase, she’s in total alpha-cougar territory now.  Sleek dark hair instead of the trademark Peggy Bundy bouffant red hair, and the sexy librarian glasses, and a dress that accentuates the obvious fact that she has a rockin’ body and a nice rack.  I don’t really care if she’s had any work done or not, the fact of the matter is that she looks downright hot, today.

Mafia Graves gun update: Shell Shock’d

Shell Shock is some amazing shit.  I’ve currently got all foam components of the gun slathered and covered in about three coats of Shell Shock, and they’re almost all fully cured, and ready to begin the initial sanding down of them.  If all goes according to plan, then all of them will be smooth and plastic-hard shelled, and ready for painting, and eventual assembly before finalization.

Again, I have to reiterate that it’s actually been fun to be creating shit again with my own hands, instead of years of watching on the sidelines.  Throughout the week, I had been receiving and gathering materials for my costume as a whole, and I’m actually growing excited about everything as more and more pieces come in.  I look forward to the eventual completion of this gun, and I hope it’s everything I hoped it would look like.

The WWE needs to be careful now

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Since the 1,000th episode of RAW, the WWE has gone and made RAW into a three-hour show now, up from the previous format of two hours.  Nowadays, three hours is just way too long to be watching wrestling, and I can’t help but think back to how I did on such a regular basis when I was in high school.  Clearly, this is one of those situations where I feel like I’m showing my age, and I already don’t feel like I have enough time in the days sometimes.  Also, I think the fact that wrestling often conflicts with baseball during the summer has something to do with it as well.

But anyway, the fact that RAW now demands its wrestlers and personnel to be present for a three-hour program, I can’t help but feel a little concern for the direction of the company.  Now I’m sure that the WWE will be fine, because unlike its former competition in WCW, they’re run by smart, competent people.  But the concern does have to do a lot with WCW, because with a three-hour show on Monday, and a two-hour on Friday, WWE is currently riding the same kind of blueprint that essentially ended up being the death of WCW.

O PILSUNG KOREAAAAAAAA

South Korea mops floor with Japan, 2-0; wins Olympic Bronze medal in men’s soccer

Third place has never felt so awesome.  Seriously, sometimes fighting for the bronze medal seems more prestigious than getting a silver, because in most versus Olympic events, silver is the consolation prize for being the guy who lost to the gold medalist.  Bronze medal events are the ultimate tests for redemption; the losers get no medals, and only in the act of winning can you earn your spot on the Olympic podium and walk away with a medal at all.

The fact that the Koreans beat Japan for the bronze medal is just icing on the cake.  The cherry on top.  Gravy.

Comparing women from obscure TV ads

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Ever since I discovered the existence of Who Is That Hot Ad Girl, I’ve been able to fairly reliably track down most all of the random attractive women I see on television, who are schilling whatever they’re paid to schill in order to make ends meet on their ends. It’s easily one of my favorite sites, and it’s helped give me some idea of what I’ll be writing about today.

90% of the TV ads I see are typically while I’m running on the hamster wheel at the gym, or when I’m watching baseball. Pretty much everything else I watch is usually DVR’d, and I’m skipping through the commercials with relative ease. But in the cases of the gym and live baseball, I do not have that luxury, so I’m occasionally exposed to seeing commercials. But in some cases, like the particular ads I’ll point out, I couldn’t really care less of what is being advertised, because I’m too busy noticing the attractive women they have speaking on behalf of the services being advertised.

Despite the fact that I find all three of these women appealing, I can’t really say the reasons are that similar in each case. I guess what this boils down to do is that it’s a glimpse of what I find appealing to my aesthetics or how my mind kind of processes what I see in girls.

This is for all the LoL Playerhaters

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

When Tryndamere gets fed too early
When nobody targets Caitlyn first
When everybody targets Rammus first
When your teammates don’t call MIAs
When nobody wants to be a tank
When Fizz hops harmlessly over your ult
When nobody buys any wards
When you die when a teammates hits a Teemo shroom
When your Brazilian teammate pings like crazy
When your Chinese teammate blames everyone else
When your jungling Shaco sucks
and theirs doesn’t.

You go QQ.
