...they are fucking with our minds to make us either create more targets for them to shoot at at a later date or confuse the shit out of us that we give up invading their space and leave them alone. I mean we have all seen Mars Attack havn't we, they like to make a joke of things?,/br>
Remember how they made a bong out of a nuclear missle?
Now its the "chuck some water at the robot survivor to confuse it" while we reload.
Its a pity you were forced into this situation. I on the otherhand made a choice because there is only so much you can do with your day.
I gave up TV, VCR, DVD, Satellite and all I have is internet radio streamed through iTunes and a net connection with a laptop.
TV is a waste of life and its wasted further when you have 999 channels telling us what else we should buy. But the point is, its good to break free from it all, you have to be creative and do something else. I'm also 22 and go against the norm. But nearly everyday i'm asked if I saw such and such a program and I answer with gasps comin g all around me "I don't watch TV".
They use less Watts and activily want to reduce this as well plus the cost of owning a mac when comparing electricity consumption would work out cheaper as well.
Its my bedroom i'm doing, but yeah white is to bland, but I forgot to mention I've been looking into (cheap) solutions for some variations like having various shades of paper similar to paper or cream when in and around where the characters would be.
I welcome the input I've not truly started yet, only drawn some concepts (which i can use for college as personal work to show I can do MORE work than what they set me and go above the criteria they look for) and pulled the doors off the wardrobes and got rid of some other furniture.
One thing I have done is question our perception of property. Like I remove the doors to my clothes reducing the barrier by one but also I sleep on a mattress with nothing underneath leaving me with less having an appreaciation of simple things and generally trying to reduce clutter because it can distort reality. Much like when drawing, you shouldn't draw everything you see when creating a picture because adding to much over complicates the picture. Strange for me to find a link there but i'm developing something here where I will live in a simplistic environment.
I don't have a TV, i found life is wasted on that thing, i don't of course have satellite either, or a VCR or a hi fi. All i have in my room which is electronic is a PowerBook, its fits all my needs and i'm always doing something because i lack the ability to give a black box my attention while not activily doing anything. I listen to radio from the net and i use to have an iPod. There are just too many distractions in life!
I never said i worked in any commercial art field. Looks like we are both guilty of not reading posts
South Korea, India are good countries, I watch some manga, but i thought they developed their own animation industries anyway so I never gave them a second thought. But this is slightly going off topic and we are going down another path. My main post was (probably not explained fully enough now) more about the flexibilty of creative work as opposed to programming and the like. I could do anything in the the various fields if one thing gets exported or falls by the way side.
BTW, its a good job I don't live in the US!
I wonder if you are nitpicking and spliting hairs with your post. I wonder if all this "animation work" is done in other 1st world countries (like europe or New Zealand) or in 3rd world countries where the land is cheap done by professionals from Western civilisations?
Please don't say Pixar, Lucasfilm and Weta Digital does its work on Sun Sparcs or Apple boxes soley with Indians being paid pittance so that in about 50 years they could buy the hardware they use at work after getting a degree level qualification?
Fantasy land is your realm my friend
I already have, ever since starting these creatives courses, its like a hundred new ideas are popping into my head, I'm thinking and imaginings things i would never of done before. In computing la la land its problem solving work. Thinking about it having problems is a bad thing and after realising this i wanted out (plus the fact the job market is dying).,
However life changing that it is, everything can be used to create your work. My attitudes towards my life and myself have changed so much because it involves more abstract thinking and exploring unlike computing which is based on a set of rules or possible outcomes.
Regarding interior design (the purpose of this post) i'm thinking of laying down laminate flooring (testing this in my bedroom) and painting walls white and with Asian typography along with breaking down a wall mounted wardrobe to save space and redesign a chest of drawers. Only to put up in its place a metal pole which further serves as the objects it replaces. If it works, its experience, a new way of living and a peice of Art, if its fails its experience and a peice of Art.
Its sound slike manual labour if 10 indians can do the job of 1 american and its still a significant cost saving. Its been on slashdot before, IT programming is heading that way, its not the 90's anymore the great expansion is over.
Plus am I to think that programming is so hard anybody can tap on a keyboard and create code? Compare that to trying to replicate real life onto paper and nurturing an imagination at the same time. I've tried programming, I've been there, its boring and repetitive and you need a computer with you at all times. Me, give me a sketch book and a pencil at least and I could draw a unique sunrise that'll never come again and get paid for it!
I'm getting flamed at the moment from all sides because of this comment. But I'm doing exactly the same (branching out), i'm doing Graphic Design, Illustration, Art, Photography and even History along with Web Design.
There is so much more variation in these skills than programming or white collar IT management work.
From where i'm standing i'm in a better position now than i would be if i continued with soley computing. Today where ever we go we see media in many different forms i highly doubt for some time yet the creative markets are in the position where the IT sector is going.
Another point to make is that macs are expensive, and are a niche in the computer platform.
You think people in india can afford these? So no, the creative industries are safe until Indians can afford these expensive devices...i'm quite safe you see.
Or as the Chewbacca Defense would put it...
Indians in India, with macs... that does not make sense. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE...:)
No, YOU, need to take my comments as Gospel...
There are more oppurtunities in the creative market and it isn't just "advertising" as the other person's comment posted. There is so much more you could do rather than sit in an office and type code...
My first reaction is to say "so what".
But I would be in this situation if i kept on the same course, i was doing Java Programming, ICT.
I dropped out out college and started again but this time i went into the creative industries learning Art and Graphic Design. Now I have no problem since its not easy to export a creative talent unlike manual labour.
Adapt or Die...
Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: this is an iPod mini. The iPod mini is a Jobs creation from the Apple Company, but the iPod mini lives on the planet with the iPod. Now, think about that. That does not make sense!
Why would an iPod mini -- a 4GB $250 costly device -- want to live on Earth with an mp3 player that costs just $50 more with 11GB's more capacity? That does not make sense!
But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: what does that have to do with this case?
Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major Computer company, and I'm talkin' about an iPod mini. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.
If the iPod mini is worth it, you must acquit! The defense rests.
It will stop when WE stop using Kazaa!
I have a PowerBook with 80GB HD and a Lacie 160GB HD and i am close to filling both even after burning nearly 20 DVD's.
1 DVD holds roughly 7 CD's worth of content, you can do the math on that.
Plus i'm running it on top of Darwin, Version 7.2.0.
I'm running what seems to be the benchmark game, NWN for hours at a time, i even got Halo installed and playing it with max resolutions, my 10/100/1000 network card is working with no hiccups either, no conflicts.
This is all running under Aqua as well. Sometimes i wonder what you linux guys are getting all this grief for.

So am i, the last joke i posted here got moderated down to offtopic, we must have some mormons here.

What are you talking about, you have 11.5 months to save up for it! :)
