This is my personal page, bloggin' and life in general on FlyingGiants.com. My name is Max Duncan, and I go by Madmax around this place. I'm a modeling enthusiast, and enjoy helicopters, electrics, giant scale gas and similar models. I'm a hack 3D freestyle pilot, and I also enjoy flying IMAC. Enjoy my journey!

 | Posted 12-30-2007 at 01:53 AM by madmax Yup, so Christmas came a little early to the Duncan residence! Just a few days back, I decided that it was time to retire my 4 year old, 3.0ghz Pentium 4 HP rig. Installed Vista on it earlier this year, and I've been tortured ever since, while the applications keep getting more and more memory hungry. For development on FlyingGiants, I am constantly in the Adobe CS3 Suite-- Dreameweaver, Photochop, Illustrator, and many other applications for simple video editing (I use a Intel MAC with Final Cut for all the videos on the site), and photo resizing and various manipulation. Ugh. Anyways, been slowed... | Medium Pimpin' | |

| Posted 12-04-2007 at 12:38 AM by madmax Just came about this. It's a very interesting throwback to pc technology of the past 35 years. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/the...ime?page=0%2C0
I personally think the Apple II (1977) should have been the #1, or at least higher than Windows XP. Bleach. The AII was the first computer I owned back in 78. I was programming binary and ACOS on that puppy when I was 8. You think we have it bad with Chinese knock offs, that computer was ripped off hugs back then. Clones all over the place.
Anyways, cool link. check it.... | Medium Pimpin' | |

There's been more talk around this place about my teeth in countless posts, threads, and even videos, and it's time to lay down the law. As of today, we are instituting a zero tolerance tooth talk moratorium here at FlyingGiants. Why? Take a look at the attached picture. After a visit to my dentist, I was handed this little gem on the way out the door.
Oh wait, what's that Madmax? A $5600 bill to keep those pearly whites in my mouth? BUT WAIT! There's more! Guess what Max? That doesn't include the $1500 root canal that isnt on the bill! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugin... | Medium Pimpin' | |

| Posted 10-16-2007 at 11:02 PM by madmax I'm jumping in on momo's TV blog here, and let it be known, I'm a huge CSILV fan. Only TV show I watch. Our Tivo has nothing but CSILV and Family guy recorded.
Okay, WTF. Grissom and Sarah are going to get married. Who freaking cares. Just saw it in an ad for next week's episode and I'm furious.
Bring in the fonz. This show is junk. | Medium Pimpin' | |

| Posted 09-11-2007 at 12:59 AM by madmax Got a chance to see this movie with Monica last weekend, and all I gotta say is this - Academy awards, best movie of 2007. It's like american pie, animal house, road trip, and van wilder all wrapped up in one. Don't wait for the DVD, get in the theatre NOW!
And an interesting factoid... You know where Blink 182 got its name? From the movie Scarface starring Al Pacino (yes, Wilson Chaparro's evil step brother). That movie held the record for the most uses of the "F" word - 172 times. "Blink" meaning "beeeep".... Get it?
