Well, I have been working every night for the past week on the boys halloween costumes. Tonight I decided to take the evening off to watch my show (Lost on ABC) and relax alittle. Anyways, they are going to be crayons. Red and green. I have spent way too much time on making these things as perfect as I could. I have been sewing, cutting, drawing, stitching, etc and boy is it fun, but tiring. I will definitely try and post pictures of the final costumes when they are finished. I will try and describe how I made them as well, I am pretty impressed with myself. I searched the internet to see if anyone had done something like this before (in the way I wanted them to look) and I did not see anything, so I did it all from ideas my wife and I came up with. We’ll see…

Check out this video where some guy is controlling a 2 player coin-op game using one hand for one player, and one hand for the other. Give it a couple minutes to stream, google video can take a few minutes to load a video.

Nice find here on Digg. Digg story here; it links to dafont.com which has some really great free fonts. From well known fonts from advertisers, movies and TV shows, to some plain out useful fonts. For example, I’m always on the lookout for some nice mono-spaced fonts. Currently I love BitStream Vera Sans Mono (available on dafont, by the way), since I am coding all the time. But here is a nice list of other mono-spaced fonts for use. Give them a try, I know I will be running them through their paces in Eclipse.
