Busting Wax

Very Cool Tech

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I know I have updated the blog in like whoa, but I just came across this little story in the NY Times about Topps new 3-D cards that you hold in front of a webcam to get a holographic? 3-D? virtual reality? image of the player on the card:

While this isn’t going to rekindle my fading interest in the hobby, it is cool to see nonetheless. It may turn out to be gimmicky, but they could do some very cool things with these.

I knew it was coming…

Deep down, I knew this day was coming.

Sorry to be so cryptic about it, but if you’re still reading, I am working on a handful of posts that will fully explain what I “knew was coming” and what I’m planning to do about it.

Don’t Call it a Comeback

Yes, I know it’s been a while. I apologize to you all, because I realize that there are still many of you out there reading my site. I’ve fallen into a funk of card collecting ennui, but I seem to have broken out of it. I’ve busted some wax recently that has renewed my faith in the joy of the elusive, valuable bust.

More on that once I get a scanner up and running. I hate to tease, it’s the oldest blogging trick in the book, but it’s all I’ve got right now.

Stalk me

So I’m still working on a video I shot a couple weekends ago of my first box-break. It’s taking longer than normal (mostly because I’ve been lazy and putting it off) but I wanted to check in after having a flurry of posts recently. I don’t want to squander the good will.

Also, I wanted to post a couple ways you can “follow me” and the other online activities I do (other blogs I post to, music I listen to, etc). The first is Twitter. You can follow me here. Twitter is basically micro-blogging site where I post random updates throughout the day, I post stuff that may bore you, but will probably exhilarate you.

The other site is FriendFeed. You can follow me on Friendfeed (my FriendFeed feed) here. FriendFeed basically aggregates almost all my online activity. That includes posts to my different blogs, activity on sites like Digg and Reddit, Flickr, Last.fm, items I share on Google Reader. Basically, it’s my online life.

So feel free to get more regular updates by following me on either of these sites. Let me know if you use them, as well. If you have any questions about the services, feel free to ask.

2008 - Upper Deck Baseball - Bust #0022

This is the last post in my last burst of wax busting that ended a few months ago. I put a bunch of posts together with the plan to slowly post them over a period of time. Of course, best laid plans always work out, right? Either way, I’m now all caught up on my past wax busts and it’s now time to move on to some actual current products. But before we can get to that one, let’s bust one more pack of 2008 Upper Deck Baseball.
