Hi all! Just a quick note that I'm going to start using my TypePad blog, 'The Winter Webb' for posting. I've really enjoyed Vox but TypePad is getting a big face lift and I want to use and support all the cool features coming. If you follow me here, please follow me on my TypePad Profile!
]]>Sun & Stuff! Come join Piximix at Indie Mart, 17th & Wisconsin next to the Parkside, in Potrero Hill. Going on right now!!
I was on a newsite local to the Chicago area (where I grew up) and noticed this infographic on the sidebar:
This about sums it up. I wonder how long they generated this day to day before replacing it with a static image...
I found this game system in Akihabara, Tokyo last week. Its an emulator for the Famicom, known in the US as the original NES, and it was only $10! I decided against buying it however since I don't have any games, and power-wise it doesn't voltage switch so it would probably blowup in the states.
Anyway, the best thing about this game system is the tagline on the front of the box:
なにをかいしゃのそばで？
What around the (SAKK) office?
(Thanks Mie for the translation!)
Its time for another round of "what in the office?" (WITO), the road version. This one is for the folks in SAKK and is a collection of images taken around the SAKK office. In previous WITOs it was hard to play if several people had already guessed. To make it easier for people who don't see the contest right away, the last pictures guessed will be worth more points than the first pictures. This essentially means that the hardest images will be worth the most points.
また「What in the office」 （WITO）の時間です。今回は「道」がテーマです。これは、SAKKの皆さんのためであり、SAKKオフィス近辺で撮った画像のコレクションです。前回のWITOでは数人がすでに答えた場合、新しく参加するのが難しかったので、後からコンテストに参加できるよう、最初の画像のポイントは低く、最後の画像のポイントを高くします。従って、一番無難しい画像は一番高いポイントとなります。
各画像は何か、どこにあるのか、Commentに答えを残して下さい。最初の６つの画像は１ポイント、最後の３つの画像は４ポイントとなります。例えば、３番の画像と８番の画像に正解に答えた人は５ポイントとなります。
Good luck!!

Piximix self-publishes its books via lulu.com, a site for independent authors to get their works out. They have a paid upgrade option to be listed on Amazon.com, but apparently they choose a few select books and upgrade them for free. They're currently listed under our artists name, Kyle:
While we've always had our books available on our Piximix Store, its great to have them become available to a wider audience.
I was l browsing around the web today, when I found Sally, the HR representative in the sexual harassment training I took recently, repping for an auction site:
I guess Sally must have lost her job at the company after her and Steve started a relationship. Even though they signed a 'love contract' I imagine it ended messily when Steve got drunk at the Christmas party and finally gave in to Mary's advances.
I'm so excited today; the Pixipets iPhone app we here at Piximix have been working on with Fika was just put up on the iTunes App Store!
