Farewell Latte

To My Dear Latte,
You have been through 3 cons, several surgeries, and 2 amputations. But there comes a time in which I must put you to rest. Farewell my beloved, I will miss you.

Happy Kinect Day

As a developer on the Xbox Live team I would like to take this opportunity to advertise about Kinect. Today it Launches!!!! The first Gaming Console to bring you Controller-less gaming. Wait that's incorrect. There is a controler and that's YOU, the human.

GO PLAY AND DANCE

it's been too long

I feel the need to say something
because i've been to lazy to post here.

Posts that I have missed but may still do

New House

Trip to Europe I guess i'm ok with this one cause it wasn't too long ago and i'm still waiting for the photos to come to me from crystal

Moogle Hat

I didn't know what to do with some of my Top Hats so I decided to make a Cosplay adaptation (since those darn fleece hats are so popular). 

Here is my first Cosplay Adaptation Top Hat

I got my Wish

Today is the launch of the new Microsoft KIN

http://www.kin.com/

It's a social networking phone, but I think it's a bit of a unit tasker.  Anyways since I do work at the Entertainment and Devices group at Microsoft I decided to check out their launch party, to try out the Kin and see if there is any good swag or snacks.  What presented to me was a Ball Pit (well besides other stuff).  I wanted to play, but no one was playing and my friend said after her (30+ minute) wait for a t-shirt.  Whatever back to work I go, until i heard. "Try to win a free KIN, gather around the BALL PIT" and U-turn i go. 

One Two GO. Dive right into the ball pit with  a skirt on (I mean head first, no toe jumping, just immediate) and find 1 of 5 balls.  You can see where this is going.  I got one of them, which lead to the second contest of find 1 of 2 balls (between the 5 contestants that one the first round).  So once again ONE TWO GO, i did a twirl dive landing on my back (no worries no hurt when i fall into this pit) and well i didn't win, but I did win a 12 Month Subscription to the Zune Marketplace.  I'll give that to BT since I gave him the Zune I won a few months back.  They should match nicely.

Not that I wanted a Kin or a Zune pass, but I just got to play in the Ball Pit :)

Next Set of Ideas

Ahhh, it's all over and I've already got so many new ideas?


TianZi from Code Geass (I hope she shows up in the third season, or i might just change it to something else even though i'm 70% done)

SailorV, the prequel to Sailor Moon

Belldandy in her battle outfit from the Ah My Goddess Movie

Clover

KagaMiku from Lucky Star when Kagami cosplays Volcaliod Miku

And of course to resuse the box I'm deciding between Hinaichigo and Suigintou for Rozen Maiden

I'll probebly do Hinaichigo, becayse Suigintou doesn't have a box in the anime (but apparently they speak of her box in the manga)
