So I was randomly poking around Flickr one day and I saw this:


Android 3

And I was all "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT IS AWESOME." Not just because I love my Droid phone and the Android system's little mascot, but also because "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT IS AWESOME."

I dropped the fellow a line about how sweet this Android custom is, and he told me that it was his first custom ever. Look at that thing again. That was his first custom and this is what they look like au natural:



Jim and I continued to converse and then...well, he decided that he needed to send it to me. For free.

To quote The Judge, "THIS WILL NOT DO!"

A bit of cross-Atlantic talking--mostly me telling him that his stuff is too good to not be SOLD to people--and we arrived at a price that was pleasing to both of us. He then told me that he would only take out the cost of the Droid figure and donate the rest of the money to Shelter.

Yeah, you go ahead and read that last sentence again.

NOW...I don't think that sort of scenario is ever going to happen again, because now I'm here to plug his work so that he can have a bit of supplemental income for what he describes as just a hobby. And you're going to help me out, yes?

He has never done a commission before, but look at his stuff. He has some non-rust customs that will be up soon, since he's branching out from his current streak of customizing Ashley Wood designs.

I'll keep you updated, but in the mean time, tell your friends about this awesome customizer you heard about, one who is modest and generous...and who needs to start making some reasonable money off of his creations.

And now, a small story about my new Droid, which arrived yesterday. :D


---------


"Somebody said there was some juice for my batteries over here...."

Somebody said there was some juice for my batteries over here

His story continues after this cut:


LOOK OUT, DROID! That stuff is for adults! HUMAN adults! )



Go dig Jim's stuff, tell people about Jim's stuff, and then get back to work, slackers.

Love,

benjamin
Many years ago I found this in a used bookstore.

The next time I saw Moxy Fruvous--on tour for their album named after the book--I asked them to sign it for me.

It was pretty fucking awesome.

My newest toy acquisition, which barely beats out POWER: Superior-Powered Thunderbolt Overlord Top King as the best bootleg/knockoff that I own. Click the pic for shots of the other sides of the box, which never actually say Superman. :D

Spider-Man Batman Superman awesome knock-off figure from a market in Shanghai - Probably the best bootleg I own

Whitney "[info]mockilock" Hanson sent me Sir Reginald magnets and they FUCKING ROCK!

SHIT FIRE AND SAVE MATCHES,
IT'S THE 15th ANNUAL
"SEND MY MOTHER A BIRTHDAY E-MAIL DAY"!!!

You see, I can't remember the last time I saw my mama on her birthday. She's lived in Florida since the very beginning of the 90's, and while I see her a few times a year, it hasn't been on her birthday since who knows when.

And since my Mama is THE PERSON AWESOME PEOPLE GO TO FOR BEING-AWESOME CONSULTATIONS, as well as being one of the smartest, funniest, and by far kindest people I've ever had the pleasure to know in my entire life, she's had more of an impact on who I am today than anybody else in the world. As such, I like to do something for her on her birthday. She hates getting gifts, though, so I've been doing this instead, ever since I had to telnet into my uiuc.edu account using a 14.4 modem, where I would then read my e-mail using Pine.

This year, me and my dame Nadja "[livejournal.com profile] fairyarmadillo" Robot will be going down to visit her and my stepfather and whatever other family members are there for Thanksgiving/my birthday, but that's a few months away, so...

PEOPLES OF THE UNIVERSE, PLEASE ATTEND CAREFULLY, AS THE MESSAGE THAT FOLLOWS IS VITAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF YOU ALL:


Her e-mail is n8annet@hotmail.com.

I don't care if you know her or not. Indeed, only a small handful of you have ever even seen her. Doesn't matter.

Take a few seconds right now and send her a birthday greeting.

It doesn't have to be anything other than "Your son sent me; Happy Birthday Annet Stein! He's batshit insane but I nice guy, I guess if you're cool with batshit insane!"

You can do it however you want, simple or complex...but don't go sending her goatse shots or I'll track you down and kick your ass so hard I'll have to open your mouth to tie my shoelaces.

Keep in the spirit of her birthday, yo.

And you know what?

Tell your friends.

Tell all of 'em. Repost this in YOUR LJ and tell people to wish my Mama a happy birthday.

No chance to do it on the 18th? Hell, who doesn't enjoy getting even late birthday wishes?

Help bust last year's 80+ birthday greetings.

Help celebrate the woman who, when it comes to me, did the absolute best with what she was given to work with. :)

Ah, and here's a photo that my little brother did for an art project he devised. You get to guess which one is my mama.

11 - Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and Stein

Here she is a few years back, enjoying the outdoors:

Love, and many thanks in advance,
