daniel took pictures on a walk this time, it's been forever since he've done that! ;)
久しぶりに(何年ぶりかな?)ダニエルがお散歩写真を撮ってくれました。^^




kai + me + dogs ;)

spotted a very thorny plant on a walk...wonder what kind of plant this is.
触ったら痛そうな雑草(?)を散歩中に発見。何ていう名前なんだろう〜?

finally daniel's late b-day present arrived in the mailbox.
ダニエルの誕生日プレゼントがやっと郵便で来ました。

it wasn't a surprise 'cuz he found it first and he's been wanting a new wallet anyways. so i just go ahead and ordered Nooka AO. i love their watches and have been wanting one for few years now. i guess i'm just scared of getting used to a new way of looking at watch? but i like this one or this one.

nothing fancy, made out of durable, water resistant, silicone and has 3 pockets. i really like the nooka logo pattern on the flap, nice touch! :)

yesterday was daniel's birthday. i worked in the afternoon so when i got home i made some heath bar cookies. this is the special heart shape cookie for his b-day ;)
p.s. we just went out for dinner for his birthday since it was during the week.
昨日はダニエルのバースデーでした。午後はパートで働きにいったので帰ってきてからヒースバーのトフィークッキーを作りました。これはダニエル用のスペシャル♥型バースデークッキーです。(^^*)
P.S. 火曜日だったので特にこれっといった事はしないで夜はバースデーご飯を食べに行ってきました。

remember? i told you about how daniel is on computer first thing in the morning and last thing at night? well now you know, this is it ;)
毎日朝起きて一番最初にする事はコンピューター、夜一番最後にやる事もコンピューターです。
いつもなにかiPhoneの事をやっているみたいで(ハックしたのでアイコンやインターフェイスのデザインをかえています)いつも飽きずに、かなりのオタッキーです... ^^;

if you know daniel, you know he is obsessed about the iPhone...he got his iPhone 3G S delivered today at the house. he does anything and everything to change themes, icons, anything internally so that it looks and works good to him. last thing he does before going to bed is...iPhone, first thing he does when he wakes up is...iPhone. so you know what this means...he is gonna go even crazier and i'm gonna get his old 3G iPhone.

daniel had much needed knee surgery on wed. (not a major one or anything crazy). he had torn meniscus which he injured back in his skateboarding days... he has been resting and living on the couch or the bed for the last 3 days. just glad that he is doing ok and doesn't seem to be hurting him as much as i thought it would be (well, maybe? maybe not?). hopefully he can kinda walk by sunday so that we can get out of the house together and maybe go out for dinner for our anniversary?!?!

went on a bay cruise today for daniel's birthday event (it was a gift from daniel's mom). it departed from the pier 39, right next to the sea lion gathering place (was amazing to see how many of them are hanging out there, they were so cute especially the baby ones) and the cruise went on for about 1.5 hrs. it was definitely something different than our normal weekend activities! for next time, i wanna go check out alcatraz and wanna go walk on the island!

just more scenery...i just love that sea lion! totally wanted to take one home ;) ya, i know...i don't know what i would do with it at home with a sea lion...

I was asked what Waldron meant at work so i decided to do some homework on the subject...
WALDRON
from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements walh 'foreigner' + hrafn 'raven.'
habitational name from a place in Sussex named Waldron, from Old English w(e)ald 'fores' + ærn 'house.' 'dwelling.' The surname is now also common in Ireland, especially in Connacht.
Here's where the majority of Waldrons resided before coming to the US and the UK...

there was a rumor floating around work today that the local target had 5 wii left in the store. so i took my lunch a little early to go snatch one up. by the time i got there, there were only 3 wii left. i couldn't risk wating until i got off work to go buy it. the wii is still selling on amazon or ebay for about $400, last i checked, for just the console... an outrageous amount of money for one of these things.

Just posting this so you can see where my obsession comes from, and the ideas behind it. Just incase you didn't already know.

I finally found an 8" Obey dunny to father my 3" Obey dunny (my first dunny ever bought). The 8" dunnys sold out within seconds of going up for sale. The 8" is 1 out of 1989 produced, and the 3" has a ratio of 3 in 100 chance of getting one, but I'm not sure how many were produced, but they are selling for a ton of $$ on eBay. So as you can probably guess I'm one happy camper!

Well since we don't plan on staying at this house too much longer, we decided to just display some of the toys (yes...this isn't all of them beleive it or not.) on the entertainment center, which is becoming very crowded these days.

Here are my newest 3" dunnys the 4th series by Kid Robot called "Azteca". They are all in designed by various Mexican artists in an Aztec/Mexican theme.

Here is the new 8" dunny I got it's designed by DOMA a interactive media based in Argentina. Here is their website, it's a cool one you should check it out...
DOMA

This is another 8" dunny designed by TADO this time. He is in support of the series 3, 3" dunnys. TADO also has a cool website, the videos are the coolest check it out...
TADO

Here is another 8" dunny, and a matching poop, this time designed by a well known animator named Frank Kozik. Sorry no website to point you to this time! :)

These poops are designed again by Frank Kozic, but unlike the dunnys aren't manufactured by Kid Robot. These guys are called "Shopo plops" and are manufactured by Ningyoshi. They do have a website/shop... you thought i was going to put another link didn't you!? Just google it. :)

These guys are deisgned by Frank Kozik (manufactured by Kid Robot) and is actually the animated character that made him so popular in the animation and toy community.

Here is a random toy manufactured by Strange Co. Here's a little more info on these guys...
Bshit
We haven't blogged anything lately so i figured this would do! Hope you all like this little fun history of the toys I am buying! :)

Just a freindly reminder. And a littel bit of OBEY theory thrown in free of charge.



I got another Munny the other day, and I love the way they look when they are unpainted so i decided to do a self portrait (modern minimalistic style) of myself... white with black glasses...He also came with a mushroom, laser gun, and a sign, but im going to make the sign into a popsickle soon.

We saw these bottles in Hood River and thought the packaging was soo cool that we just had to buy them. It is Artisan water from Norway...I'd tell you if it was good or not, except that we haven't opened them yet because they are soo pretty. Thier website is a pretty awesome Flash site also...

Maggies parents got me this book by Shepard Fairey for my b-day, I think this is the best book that I've ever gotten as a gift!

This is what it looked like when i got it.

Here's how it looked after i was done with it.

This is how it looks now.
See any resemblence? ...


There's me taking pictures at the FLIR sales meeting.

There's the view at the sales meeting.

We stuck some of our smallest cameras that we make into some RC cars so people could only look at the screens and race around in IR.

We also did some target practice with the paintball guns.

There's our BMW that comes with the same cameras we stuck into the RC cars from the factory.


Some cool pictures I took and added some effects to for the closing video.
