PyroKitty's Lair

Recently, Toby, one of the MOO Crew's developers, had the pleasure of meeting Jack Hooker. In usual fashion, Jack gave Toby one of his business cards . All of us back at MOO Studios were very impressed with Jack's cards and excited to find out that Jack had made his cards with MOO. So, we asked San Sharma* to find out a bit more about Jack and the story behind his cards for our business ideas section.( More... )

So the servers are alway complaining even when they make a crap load of money -example today 5 servers, tips are all together 709 ish AFTER tipping out the bussers. 709ish/35hrs=20.14 an HOUR!!!!(for the math geeks -35hours is 5hr*7 servers)PLUS PLUS $4 base server wage, PLUS any cash tips sooo today on average servers made 24.14 an hour if they all stayed for 7 hours but most of them are done with their side word by 1-130 the latest. Breakfast service is done at 11. So they get there at 6:15, open for 45 min, work for 4 hours, then clean for maybe 2. And they COMPLAIN that it is NOT their job to reset THEIR tables.... I have no sympathy. They make more than I do, work shorter hours, and grrrrrr~!!!!!!!!
SOOOO ANNOYED with them today.
Plan for tomorrow-tell them if they can't handle gettting drinks and clearing plates I will put more servers on the floor so they can't tell me they are too busy to get plates. More servers=less money for them. They will pick up their darn plates, oh yes. No more the busser crap. There are 2 times as many servers as bussers. Get over it.
Ok with this post and a beer I feel sooo much better.
Sign I sleep in Monday-YAY!

If you love puzzles, photography and stickers (like us), this project is definitely for you. As part of our MOOvie Mania Competition we asked people to share their "how tos" or "tutorials" that featured MOO. John Arnold has created a brilliant video that shows how to create a collection of stickers out of one photograph - in essence turning the 90 stickers in to a giant puzzle. He then brilliantly arranges all 90 stickers on his new laptop giving it a unique cover. ( More... )

I was running a few errands tonight, and decided to stop to take a few quick shots of the stars. Came out better than I'd hoped.

Shooting a Nikon D60, with a Nikon f/2.8 17-35mm lens on a tripod, ISO alternating between 400 and 800 (I KNOW, I KNOW); 30 second exposure times.

Am thinking about finding some real dark spots up north and taking the f/2.8 80-200mm, and seeing what I can make of that. :D Anyhow, on with the pics.

So I'm a blog reader. I forget where I found this link (mostly because I read a blog, which'll reference another one, which will reference another one, etc, until basically it's like wiki'ing Dakota Fanning and ending up at the Great Barrier Reef. Sure it made sense while following links but you've got no idea how you actually ended up there.)

Anyways, somebody was discussing their NaNoWriMo and how, ever since they found Write or Die, they've actually stayed on schedule for their daily word count. (NaNoWriMo, btw, is the Nation Novel Writing Month. Write 50,000 words of a story. Do it in less than thirty days. The last week in November is when the actual word counts start.)

So, Write or Die. It's negative reinforcement of not writing, rather than positive reinforcement. Keep writing or your computer will make nasty sounds effects and suchlike. Set the level high enough, your words will start disppearing as you continue to delay your typing. Masochist that I am, I wanted to try it out. I banged this out in half an hour and am considering giving it another go to see where the story leads. (I have gone back and checked for obvious typos, but otherwise it's unedited.)

From time to time, we at MOO
Hit the road to meet with you.

We've travelled from Birmingham over to Boston
Passed through London and on to Austin. ( More... )

speaks for itself

The latest installment in the Dark-Hunter Series is coming out the beginning of August! I plan to attend the signing in Burbank, CA, that week! woohoo!


Are you ready for Fang & Aimee's story??? Will you be attending a signing as well?


"A stunning and suspenseful new landscape emerges in the thrilling Dark-Hunter world—a world where nothing will ever be the same again. . .


Fang Kattalakis isn't just a wolf. He is the brother of two of the most powerful members of the Omegrion: the ruling council that enforces the laws of the Were-Hunters. And when war erupts among the lycanthropes, sides must be chosen. Enemies are forced into shaky alliances. And when the woman Fang loves is accused of betraying her people, her only hope is that Fang believes in her. Yet in order to save her, Fang must break the law of his people and the faith of his brothers. That breech could very well spell the end of both their races and change their world forever.

The war is on and time is running out..."
