If an idle mind is the devils play thing, a busy one can be just as bad. Over the past two weeks I have made two impulse purchases. A new digital camera (HP Photosmart M525), and a bucket of clay.

I bought the camera at Best Buy and am quite happy with it. It is 6 Mega pixel and it came bundled with a photo printer for $250. I then went over to Circuit City and bought a 2 Gigabyte SD card for $50. I am going to charge it back to Avanade through their Extended benefits allowance, a very nice benefit I might add.

So I played with the clay and couldn't really mold anything complex, so I started creating familiar characters from an old video game.

Here are some pictures I took of those creations:

So now I have a new hobby. And I am taking requests. Add a comment, let me know what you would like to see sculpted next.
