I went the Nikon route and I have no regrets so far. I’m pretty sure I’ve spent more than I originally expected so here I have an itemized breakdown of expenses for my new expensive hobby.

This is the first time I’m going to calculate how much I’ve spent so far, and I’m going to let it sink in so I can set aside some quiet time and reflect on how splurging is bad. Bad Carlo, baaad.

Several of us here at the office have decided to have our own business cards printed. Psalm has some digital printer contacts, so I suppose he’ll be handling them. In the meantime, I have yet to decide how I want the paper (glossy, matte, or maybe a mix of both).

You can preview it on deviantArt.

Currently listening to an audio book of Frank Herbert’s Dune. The voiceover is a little… meh, but I have little choice as I never have any time to read.

Curious about what I actually do at work? You might wanna check out my account at tumblr. You’d be surprised how much in common employment has with unemployment.

Timothy Olyphant has been confirmed as the actor to play Agent 47 from the Hitman series of video games. I’m not exactly sure if he’s fit for the part. As you can see from my crude 10-minute photoshop above, he doesn’t have the dark, brooding professional assassin image quite right. The movie should be interesting with Luc Besson on board. Cross your fingers and hope that this game-to-film adaptation doesn’t get butchered like the ones that came before it.

Hey, at least it isn’t Vin Diesel.
