Dear Insane Children,
It's crazy around here! So much going on...
Lots of effort going into pre-planning for Pirate Jam 2019. I'm drawing up schedules, maps, and activities. We're aiming to have 20+ Pirates aboard 6 boats, with the event kick...

Dear Insane Children,
Rabbits are multiplying like rabbits around here. Wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so... creepy. Eek!
The latest prototype model arrived from the factory. Here you can see the two side-by-side. Note...

Dear Insane Children,
Well, that was fast! The Rabbit Makers have turned around a new prototype. This one includes a stitched nose and a black eye. Seriously, you guys, giving little rabbits black eyes?
I did notice a flurry of "moar longer arms!" comments on the previous post and wanted to say...

Dear Insane Children,
Executive decision time!
Take a look at the picture above in which we have (on the LEFT) the rabbit we all seem to think is THE RABBIT (AKA v0.4). On the RIGHT is v0.2, who you've met previously. And here's the concept drawing from which we've been working...

Dear Insane Children,
Don't laugh. This is normal. This is what happens 95% of the time when you try to get something unusual done in China. It's like living in The Upside Down. And if we were to ask the people who made this, "Why?" they'd not understand. There is no concept of sarcasm here. This isn't ...

Dear Insane Children,
Well... I knew this day would come. We kept pushing and prodding and demanding unnatural things.
"Remove his eye!" "Give him bigger stitches!" "He's too FAT!"
And... well, you can only push a cute little rabbit so far.
I give you... Satan's Rabbit! 2018-11-05 12:05:24 +0000 UTC View Post
