Vega Obscura and the Berserk Fury. The main antagonists of the Zoids New Century Zero anime. This is Kotobukiya HMM model kit. All effects were done in camera. Micro LED for the eye, iPad for the background. #Photography #Zoids #Anime #Gunpla

Here’s a user story for all you product designers out there: As a user I want your product or service to be there when I ask for it and leave me alone otherwise.

You want my honest, spiciest Star Wars takes? Here’s one: I enjoyed The Rise of Skywalker. In a perfect world I’d prefer a do-over, but I can enjoy it for what it is. I genuinely love the “Rey Skywalker” thing. The Sith Eternal concept and fleet are neat. Dorito Tie FTW. Adam Driver.

It’s very hard to tell if I’m just getting old and grumpy, or if AI is destroying my enthusiasm for technology.

Zeke! The loyal Organoid from Zoids Chaotic Century. This figure is from the Kotobukiya HMM Blade Liger AB Bang Version, but the background is the original Tomy model box. #ToyPhotography #Photography #Zoids

I cannot overstate how good Andor is. Especially this week’s arc. The writing is next level. The acting is top notch. It’s the first Star Wars show I’d recommend to people who don’t care about Star Wars. Can’t wait for next week.

Don't accurately describe my behavior please. It makes me look bad and it's a form of sabotage

I kinda miss the NFT era. It was one of the most obvious scams of all time and I enjoyed the chaos of it all. ALL MY APES GONE. Good times.

“Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.” - Carl Sagan The #Lego series 26 minifigures are some of my favorites to photograph. #ToyPhotography

AI descriptions on eBay are the bane of my existence. One of the stupidest product decisions in recent memory. And there have been a lot of stupid product decisions related to AI lately.

In hindsight, MySpace’s “Top 8” feature was wild. I remember the drama when someone rearranged their top friends, especially when boy/girlfriends knocked best friends down in the ranking. Good times.

Finally watched Jurassic World Dominion. It was… fine, I guess. A big ol’ nothing of a movie. Which is definitely not a complement, but I needed to shut my brain off for a few hours and it was entertaining enough for that purpose. Hopefully Rebirth can do something interesting with this franchise.

The Bigasauru (ビガザウロ), or Giant ZRK, is a Diplodocus Zoid released as part of the original “white head” Zoids in the early 80s. One of the first large Zoids, it was soon outclassed by more advanced models. Still, the lumbering ZRK was a formidable foe in its time. #ToyPhotography #Zoids

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Garius (ガリウス), Mechagirus, Tyrannazoid, RMZ-01. Originally released in 1981, this lanky Zoid has gone by many names and seen many battles. #ToyPhotography #Zoids

One weird quirk of model building is that I’ve developed a preference for q-tip brands. These Up&Up ones ain’t cutting it.

ZOIDS: The Pre-Hysterical Monster-Machines. RMZ-03, aka Protozoid, aka Elepantus. I tried to mimic the original box art. These early white head Zoids from the 80s are so charming. #ToyPhotography #Zoids
