Today's picture is a second attempt at drawing my friend Dave. I didn't have a reference when I drew it since my friend Dave is in the Navy and I haven't heard from him in a few years. Dave is a great guy and although I might not recognize him with a buzz cut, he's probably still a great guy. Drawing people you know is nice because you get a feeling of satifaction saying: yes, that's my friend. You can possibly even show them the image and they add to your satisfaction saying: yes, that's a decent representation of me. But moreover with my video game, I will be able to explain this person's personality by representing them in the video game. Yesterday I talked about doing the same for Gally of Gunnm. I like doing that because it gives me things to base the details of my fiction on. Most of my characters have no one correlating real life person. Most of them are a collection of my original understanding of situations I have seen and what I decide will happen in the fictional circumstance.
Greetings. Another day, another Making of Hack Mars. Excuse me if I am slightly more brief than yesterday's terribly long rant about robotics. Instead, you get an incredibly insightful rant about three topics: old alarm technology, the image, and two website aide pics.

Yesterday I talked a bit about technology, the internet, innovation, and Mars exploration. I'd like to go further with that by delving into my past two days of work. I have worked two 15 hour days in the last 48 hours. I like it a lot. I have viewed Slashdot, checked Drudgereport, e-mailed my father, watched anime, and waited for Fedex for 2 hours in the past 48 hours. What have I been doing? The first day I was coloring the pictures you will see in the next 20 days. I have all of them done and they're even uploaded to the server. Check them out at your leisure or wait until I post them with a rant. That almost ensures that you'll get 20 days of MoJF, so come back everyday.
Greetings friend. I've created a mod music file (play with Winamp or XMMS) and an ogg file of my latest music piece for your enjoyment. I created it with Soundtracker for Linux yesterday. It took me 3 days to learn Soundtracker well enough to create that. The samples I created myself with Csound.
