BotCon 09 Customizing Class
In: BotCon| Transformers
2 Aug 2009Back to the BotCon 09 posts…
After picking up my boxed set, the next event I had scheduled was the all day Thursday customizing class. I didn’t quite know what to expect with the class, but I knew that they only had 2 classes the entire ‘con with 50 seats each. I had heard that they filled […]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
In: Transformers
23 Jun 2009I’m taking a break from the month-long delayed BotCon posts to comment on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
I initially had planned on seeing the flick, tonight Tuesday June 23 at 12:01am at San Tan Village. I had pre-purchased 2 tickets for myself and Jessica. I had planned on taking Wednesday off to recoup from the long […]
BotCon Early Registration and Wings of Honor
In: BotCon| Transformers| Uncategorized
20 Jun 2009So after finishing dinner at Pinks, we headed back to the hotel and then over to the convention center. On that Wednesday evening, we had the privilege of getting in line for BotCon early registration. Since I had a customizing class the next day, we were able to get registered and pick up my box […]

Driving to BotCon and Pink’s
In: BotCon| Transformers
12 Jun 2009We stayed at my folk’s house a final night before driving to Pasadena on Wednesday morning. The plan was to casually make our way into the Los Angeles area by early afternoon.
Of course, there are many Targets and Wal-Marts on the way along I-10 to check for early toy releases. Plus we had budgeted a little […]

Days leading up to BotCon
In: BotCon| Transformers
7 Jun 2009Since there is just so much content to write about our trip to BotCon this year, I’m going to be splitting it up into multiple posts and maybe going into detail about specific things. So here is the first bit.
I’d say the start of the BotCon adventure began with my parents’ house being broken into the […]

Cute Ravage?
In: Transformers
5 May 2009While I adore the classic Transformer Robot Heroes line of figures, I never could appreciate the original Transformers 2007 movie versions. The movie’s characters were just too complex to “cute-ify” like the old G1 gang.
I think there will have to at least be one set purchased from the new movie this go round. This adorable little […]
Transformers Collection 1984-2009
In: Transformers
10 Apr 2009YouTube video
var so = new SWFObject(“http://www.youtube.com/v/c-SfDRbGgCg”, “video”, “480”, “385”, 8, “#ffffff”);
so.addParam(“menu”, “false”);
so.addParam(“quality”, “high”);
so.addParam(“wmode”, “transparent”);
so.write(“collection2009”);
So how did I spend part of my Spring Break last month? Why I cataloged each and every piece of Transformers stuff that I own, everything from back in 84’ to current day!
So that I had a complete listing […]
Going to BotCon
In: Transformers
6 Mar 2009Well, it’s official as I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole into my obession with Transformers. Jessica and I are set to go to BotCon 2009 in Pasadena, CA.
It’s one thing to bake a cake, it’s one thing to take tons of photos of toys, it’s an entirely different matter when you start attending conventions.
This will actually be […]
Wordle Your Blog
In: Quirky| Transformers| Web
2 Aug 2008Looking back through some of my starred Google Reader feeds, I came across a link to a interesting service called Wordle.
It will take a list of text from a source (say a blog or rss feed) and then create a piece of typographic art that lists the most common words. You can then edit some of […]
Making an Optimus Prime Cake

8 Sep 2007A bunch of people have asked Jessica and I how we went about making that semi-famous Optimus Prime Cake of ours. This post should contain information on how to go about making one for yourself.
Optimus Prime toy measurements (Excel spreadsheet)
Reference pictures of Optimus Prime toy
Step by step instructions
Photo collection of the making our Optimus Prime cake
I hope this information will […]
