best tooth news ever

30th of Apr, 2004ce* in: diary

You may now grow new teeth using your bodies own stem cells.

That means that dentures are a thing of the past.

Tests are being carried out over the next 2 years and dentists hope to use this technique within 5 years. The teeth take 3 months to grow and are implanted straight into your gum.

Best news I’ve heard in a long time. I’ve spent over 3000 on my teeth, and always wondered about genetically implanted ones… the future is here ladies and gentlemen.

smoking

After being totally infuriated with my life and the way I’m heading I’ve decided to give up smoking - its a wise choice and I’m not really going to look back. I feel 10x healthier!
I’ve had to put in an insane amout of overtime with my company, I’ve not had time to do my passionate personal work or update my homepage. This lead to me feeling ill, acid reflex, insomnia and smoking like a train.

Fags (as we call them in the uk) are off. Health is on.

Ball Breaker

Probably one of the best looking games ever to reach interactive TV. I doodled the board out in Flash MX (it’s really handy for geometric stuff) Then Glam’ed it up in Photoshop, I guess it looks a bit like a 24bit speedball2 table. The front screen was rendered in Lightwave from a sketch by my tallented artist John.

first film to have me infloods of tears for a very long time. an old black and white japanese flick made in 1954.
A story about a brother and sister who were born to royalty but seperated from thier father at a young age to work as slaves. until the son escapes, reclaims his title and abolishes slavery in the region. His sister kills herself, while her brother saves thier mother from being left to die.

much later, to the end of the film, the brother seeks his mother, whom he hid in a monestary long ago.

It ends with him trying to convince his mother that he is not a ghost and he is here to carry on his fathers promise, to be true and honest.
I found this quote online: The visual elegance and formal restraint of his style make the film all the more emotionally harrowing, and the final scene, on a desolate and windswept island, must be one of the most unbearably moving endings in all cinema.

no shit.

The result of various itterations, the client was happy with a sort of Dr.Mario style game, with little nasties to squish. Originally I went for a 50’s cartoon style, however not to the clients taste I later sketched out a suitable design for my tallented artist (John Godwin) to paint in photoshop.
