Happy Saturday Morning Pixlpeeps! Yesterday I had this blog all typed up and ready to go but when I went to import my photos into it they were huge. The funny thing is that I’ve been using my usual 500 pixels wide standard, and the first picture fit fine, but the others stretched past the viewable area. I contacted Pixlbit through Twitter but I didn’t get a response. I don’t know if it is currently being looked at, maybe it’s a problem on my end or what but I didn’t touch it for the rest of the day. Earlier this morning I decided to try something else. In the past including yesterday I’ve used .jpg but for some reason it didn’t work, so earlier this morning I decided to give .png a try. I used to use this format and I just wanted to troubleshoot. My test image worked fine so I converted all 30+ images to this format so if anyone else came across this problem with your images going past the viewable area on the site, try changing the file format.

Good morning Pixlpeeps! This morning as my alarm went off it was the first time in a long time that I was actually asleep as it beeped. Usually I’m up 30 minutes before I spend that time watching the local news. How are you good people? We are one week away from Force Friday. Toys R Us is opening at 12:01am and there are supposed to do a lot of things to celebrate the event. The one item I want to get is this bad boy

I sat in on some of my DJs' TV production today. It's a practicum class that puts them in the radio station and the TV control room, if you're curious. My professor told me I had to stay quiet in there during production, after I told them a camera completely changed the color of one of the on-set chairs. We'll get back to that. 

Brief New Years blog ahoy! A whirlwind tour of what I’m looking forward to – in the gaming, anime and convention/cosplay realms. Ready, GO.

Let's see if splitting this thing up allows it to post. Maybe it was just too big to post as one blog on here. 

These are not at all relevant to Rangergirl's excellent Folk Friday #5 songs today, which are all "work songs" (don't worry, they're fun to listen to, just used for working people to keep rythm, etc.), but listening to those did somehow remind me of a few acoustic songs by heavy bands that I really like, and that work, despite seeming to be completely outside the style the bands typically play in, though I mean that in the public sense, as even most heavy bands write their music acoustically before plugging in the amplifiers to record the album versions.

Hey folks, Julian here. I hope you had a great Valentine's Day (or Single Awareness Day if you're like the Pantsless Ones). I wanted to do something special for this episode, but my original idea was love stories in video games. Yawn. Instead, I asked Patrick to come up with an off the wall and eclectic idea, in the way that Patrick does. He did not disappoint, and it's a shame that Rob wasn't able to join us because of BLIZZARD 2013!!!

While video games are a major hobby in my life, that's not all I spend my time on. Music has been an important part of my life and I adore all kinds of music. Rock, pop, country, classical, hip-hop, folk, the list goes on. Whether its popular or underground, I am constantly looking and listening to different kinds of music. So in this new blog series, I'll nerd out on different music that I like or dislike. Topics will vary from artists to albums to genres to anything I can think of. As long as it's music related I'll discuss it in this series.
