I’ve been wanting a portable PC for some time and with my upcoming trip to Europe next month, I figured now was a good time to pick one up.  I had used my brother’s eee PC a couple months ago and thought it was pretty nifty so I’ve been looking at the various netbook models out there.  Eventually decided on the Dell Mini 9.

FREEing 1/4 Tsukasa preview

Spent the day planting flowers…

The company I sorta, kinda work for (don’t work for them directly) organized for all of its many (thousands) of employees to plant flowers, shrubs, and trees at various sites around Indinapolis.  Employees were encouraged to attend this “Day of Service” to help beautify the community.  I decided to give it a try along with my coworkers.

some crap cell phone pics.

After 4 hours of planting plants at an interstate onramp in Indy, I was quite sunburned and ready to pass out.  I’m a system administrator that normally sits in front of a computer 10+ hours a day… >_<  Ah well, it was good exercise and it was nice to be able to improve the community a bit ^^

The area was near the airport so it would be one of the first things visitors see.

Going to sleep well tonight ^^;

FREEing 1/4 Kagami Pre-ordering Begins

2009may14163854_2451

The second Lucky Star character in FREEing’s 1/4 scale gym uniform set is up for pre-ordering.  Yep, this time it’s Kagami.  Some lovely twin tail power on display here.  She’s seriously cute in her gym uniform though I think her facial expression could have been better ^^;

Konata was announced back in February.  FREEing will be finishing up the set with Tsukasa and Miyuki soon.  I’m looking forward to them!  They are all 1/4 scale though so if you want to collect them, I hope you have lots of space!  Maybe I should be telling myself that then…

Kagami will be released in August 2009 and is available for pre-order at Hobby Search for 11,581 yen.  Costly, yes, but keep in mind she is 1/4 scale :)  I’m sure other shops will have her for pre-ordering soon.  More pics and info at GSC.
