Really now, does anyone actually like her? She is the worst thing that American media has created. Well, maybe David Hasselhoff…

I was recently watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force fullscreen on my notebook and I thought to myself how cool it would be to have a vector image of Master Shake. So, this morning I set out on a mission to create one.

Step One
Snap a frame in VLC.

Step Two
Isolate the subject and roughly clean it up in Photoshop:

Step Three
Import image in Inkscape and follow tracing tutorial. Sorry, no image for this step.

Step Four
Adjust points, lines, curves, etc. in Inkscape until you have a smooth looking image:

I took me less than an hour to do all this and that was learning for the first time. So, it’s a pretty easy job. I now want to properly group the objects so I can colour the image and possibly add the appropriate shading. Maybe I will add the information on how to do that later…

I love this song despite being a self-proclaimed backpacker, hip-hop head. I wasn’t even born when this song was released. I wish more videos used effects like the ones that are used here. And the best part of the song:

“… Go-cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride”

I’m trying to find a Linux distribution that will install on my wife’s Korean, first generation TG Centrino notebook. I was planning on running Ubuntu on it but it won’t detect the dvd/cd-rw drive. So, I have decided to try Fedora 7. I started downloading the DVD .iso from a Canadian mirror but it was only downloading at about 40KB/s. Then I saw that they have a Facebook mirror at http://fedora.mirror.facebook.com/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/iso/ so i am grabbing it from there at over 400KB/s now. I hope it installs so I can use the notebook as a development computer.

I watched last season because I thought it might be good but it was sub par. I happened to be channel surfing tonight and it was on and they showed a segment of George saying “Yes!” and “I need that!” to a bunch of stupid inventions during the first round of auditions. He makes the show more humorous but I can’t help feeling like the show is being edited to help us laugh at him. I swear he says yes to everything.

Update
I forgot this great George Foreman quote, “Yes to anything with the flag.”
