Sorry for things being so quite here. Just so many sites to keep updated really wears you down. Trying to fix that, though. Expect some changes here in the future. ^.^

One of the things that has changed is that the user/production pages at WithoutaBox have gone away to merge with IMDb. So that got me looking into other blog/production options. Didn't really find any, but I did find something more useful - Wreckamovie.com.

In my constant flay-lings at trying to finish many of my animation project, the one thing I've discovered is... I can't do it all.

Literally.

Suddenly stumbling across something in a production that I can't do is like hitting a huge brick wall at 30 miles an hour, that you never saw coming. And when I hit that brick wall, I have no were to turn to. At lest until now.

In my wondering today, I've stumbled across Wreckamove.com a site that specializes in connecting people together to work on film projects from around the world on an volunteer basis. So I figured I'd give that a try, starting with Longing for Home.

I posted my need for a tree model and a star-field mat painting there and see what develops. ^.^

If you wanna check it out and see how Longing for Home is developing, please feel free!

Cross-your fingers.

Okay - This is a second test for X-posting. The first was to see if I could x-post between WordPress and Live Journal. This is to see if I can X-post between different WP blogs as well as LJ. so far things looks good...

X-mas list

Bureau of Mana Investigation has updated!

Every years, people ask me for a X-mas list. So this year, I'm actually building one.

Now, before I post it, I'd like to say, I actually expect *nothing* for X-mas. This year, like in years past, I am too broke to get anything for anyone else. In full acknowledgment of my failer as a friend and money maker, I fully expect nothing in return. Not even a card.

But people bug me (mostly family) about what I want so here is a beginning list. An up to date one will be kept on my personal site, and will try to update it here as well.

Needed Items
- Riding Boots - Ariat Heritage III Paddock Boot - (Black perfured but I'm not picky) - Figure $150.00 after tax. Unfortunately, these will need to be a special order item since my feet are an odd size (I wear a 9 1/2 mens). I please ask, if at all possible, to order them though Shaw's Saddlery since they helped me lots picking out the size and other info about the shoes to help make my decision about which one I really wanted. And I really dislike the idea of going to a brick & mortar store for info then ordering them online. That's just ... wrong! And since Shaw's is not a large chain thing, and their staff is very helpful, I want to do right by them. Tell them Christina "Smudge" Hanson sent you!
- New BDU pants -

Wanted Items
- A nice warm full length Robe - (Baron got one of these last year from Mom & Dad. We have since named it "The Warm Thing" and would like a second, because, dang, it's WARM! *snuggle*)
- Art Store Gift Certificate - hey, I'm an artist. Since when do I not need art supplies. Prefer one form University Art.

Fun Stuff
- DvDs (in no particular order)- Planetes - Nana - Big Windup - Moribito, Guardian of the Spirit - Slayers - Fruits Basket - Comic Party Revolution - Spice and Wolf

Featured Comic Plugin/Widget

One of the things I've written recently for WordPress/ComicPress is a little plugin/widget called, aptly, Featured Comics.

Featured Comics Plugin/Widget

Featured Comic is a small sidebar widget that lets you scan a link category, then "feature" a random link inside of the specified category on the front page. Supports images, update times and rss-feeds for current links.

To use, set up your Link Category that you want scanned, create the link to the comics, including images, rss-feed, artist's name in the Description field, and update times in the Notes field. Activate the Plugin, go to your widget controls and move the widget to where you would like it in your layout. Set the category you want scanned, select your options on what you want shown, and optional background image url and optional background color #code, hit save and your done.
