Your voice matters. It’s as simple as that. Why wouldn’t your voice matter? Are your opinions and ideas not as valid as anyone else’s? Of course they are. Your experiences and understandings are just as important as the next person’s. Don’t ever let anyone make you believe otherwise, in real life, or in EVE Online. Continue reading

Recipe – A Piece of Tail
So many things in this life are subjective.
It wasn’t too long ago I was enjoying some downtime on a lowsec terrestrial world. This particular world was only about 30% water based which left for a thin atmosphere and given its far proximity from the system’s sun, most natural water bodies were frozen most of the year.
One evening I paid an unbelievable amount of ISK for a local delicacy, something I would’ve paid ten times less for on a more bountiful planet. Supply and demand at its best. I only hoped it tasted worth the price.
It did. Continue reading
Roc’s Rule #485
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
CSM 8 – Campaign Video 1
Voting for CSM 8 has now begun. GO VOTE NOW!
Once you’re done voting, here’s a handy LITTLE TOOL to help you easily spread the word to your friends to #rocthevote
Minmatar/Amarr Abstracts
Quick, late night art post.
Been playing with abstracts, motion graphics, cloner array and object collision dynamics in Cinema 4D. These are all a single frame from fully programmatic animation – no keyframing involved. I’m hoping to eventually make a Gallente and Caldari version, but for now, here you go. Continue reading
CSM 8 – Marcus
In response to this post by Rhavas:
I wish I liked Roc. His player, Marcus, apparently does great music – I haven’t bought it myself but others rave. Marcus does good art. I loved Marcus’ EVE app, Capsuleer. But I can’t stand Roc Weiler. I’m sure Marcus is probably a great guy. I am very impressed with how Marcus has re-invented himself and adopted an impressively healthy approach to his real life. And Marcus will tell you that “Roc is a persona” or “Roc is a character”. The problem is that Roc keeps taking over Marcus’ microphone. And Roc is an arrogant, smarmy asshole. Roc is the guy in high school who was a football star, got all the chicks, and treated them all like shit. And Roc tragically answers every question asked of Marcus before Marcus can. Take a listen to Voices from the Void Episode 69 if you want to see what I mean. As Ripard Teg said, Marcus ”doesn’t play to his strengths as a CSM candidate.” It is my contention that this is because Marcus too badly wants Roc, not himself, to be elected. I hope someday Marcus runs from an alt, and presents himself without Roc in any way, avoiding problems with this sort of thing that others have experienced. Because Roc doesn’t want to talk about anything other than his favorite subject: Roc. And that makes Roc unelectable. Continue reading
CSM 8 – Slate
TL;DR
Besides telling you to vote for me, it’s important to understand two other things:
- There is a need to spread the word to vote at all. The more votes in this election, the better. Not just for me, but for the CSM as a whole.
- Voting for a bloc candidate is a wasted vote. They have enough support to get elected and don’t need your vote. Continue reading
What’s for Breakfast?
You’ve heard me preach about nutrition being the single most important part of a healthy lifestyle.
If it’s in a bag or box, don’t eat it.
It’s not just what and how much, but also how often.
I could talk all day on this particular subject as nutrition is vital and very personal. Each and every one of us is as unique as our exact nutritional requirements, though there is some common ground simply by being human. Continue reading
