Motivational: Embrace Diversity

Posted In: Just geeky by Andy at 10:41 am

The other day I posted the Cosplay Mosaic set of pics I assembled using an online tool from Big Huge Labs.

Below is a resulting ‘motivational poster’ I put together from another of their tools. Sure, maybe ‘embrace diversity’ isn’t very motivational but it’s all I could come up with on the spur of the moment when I decided it would involve ‘Marta’.

Marta was the green Orion consort of Lord Garth in the episode ‘Whom Gods Destroy‘ from the Star Trek the original series.

Skydrive

The Live SkyDrive folks have increased storage capacity to 5GB and have removed the Beta tag which means the quality is finally there along with some improvements.

They’ve also opened up the service to accounts in these 38 countries now that the US, UK and India are done dogfooding on it:

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey.

Sign up or check it out for yourself, it makes for a great dumping ground for your pics or music that you can make private or share with the world or specific accounts.

Cosplay Mosaic

Posted In: Flickr, Just geeky by Andy at 12:16 am

I’m experimenting with an online mosaic tool from Big Huge Labs, how does it look?

Some of the detail in these costumes is over the top. For instance, check out the medical eyepatch on the girl in #8.

Note: Wordpress can’t handle encoding the Kanji characters for #1, 4, 13 below and i’m too tired tonight to continue trying to fix it up after having read through the WP support forums. If you have hints, i’m all ears, thanks!

Seven of Nine Seven of Nine headshot

I’m toying with a new topic, let me know if it’s over the top or not. It’s to show off some of our favorite heroines or villains in Sci-Fi, but in a little more provocative manner than usual.

In some cases their characters are provocative on screen, let alone once they’re in a private studio stripping in front of a camera. Take for instance Jeri Lynn Ryan, aka ‘Seven of Nine’ in Star Trek Voyager. I don’t know why she would have to resort to such provocative poses, she had us at her first tricorder reading.

Jeri’s first two poses are fairly tame, the next two are questionable as to whether they are safe for work. And since we don’t want to get in trouble at work, here’s the thumbnails:

Gratz to Henry Z for figuring out last weeks image!  Good job.  So continuing on, this weeks image is ready for your viewing (and guessing!) pleasure!  Let this one buzz around in your skull for a bit before you hazard a guess ;)
