“But I thought Twitter was free?” It is, till they decide it’s not. We’re talking “free bird” here, not just “free beer“.
Why do I use Wordpress? Because it’s free and open source. I can archive my entries locally. I don’t have to worry about the proprietary service (aka Livejournal) shutting down, and denying me access [...]

3D curve sketching
October 14, 2008 – 5:22 am
With a tool like this, maybe there wouldn’t be such a strong aversion towards using NURBS in the entertainment industry.

Softimage’s ICE
July 8, 2008 – 7:52 am
Softimage has introduced ICE (Interactive Creative Environment) in XSI 7. Taking strong cues from Houdini’s procedural workflow, ICE finally brings XSI a particle system and much much more.
Despite what the general public thinks, there is a LOT that can be done on a 3D production that does not require a programmer. Using node [...]
Trusting “Trusted Computing”
June 10, 2008 – 5:14 am
Simple little short that does a good job of explaining the abuse of the term “Trusted Computing”. We tend to pay more attention when there’s a slick presentation.
UI Design: BumpTop 3D Desktop Prototype
June 10, 2008 – 5:14 am
Could this make file management tasks enjoyable? They just need to throw in some batch renaming tools and pretty much anything that ACDSee does, and it’ll be purrrrrfect.
Evoluent Verticle Mouse
June 10, 2008 – 5:13 am
Last night was the first time in 2 years, where I could bust ass in Maya, with ZERO pain or tingling sensations in my forearm. Been using the Evoluent Verticle Mouse for about 2 weeks now. It took me about 4-5 days before I felt like my speed an accuracy were up to where it [...]
King Kong Dynamics
June 10, 2008 – 5:05 am
Without a doubt, there’s going to be some serious destruction in Peter Jackson’s rendition of King Kong. Word is, Weta Digital is currently using BlastCode to handle some of the tricky dynamic simulations. I’d highly recommend checking out some of sample movies they have in the gallery. Yeah. YEAH! NUKE THAT HOUSE!!! I love [...]
Plastic Animation Paper
June 10, 2008 – 4:53 am
Finally gave Plastic Animation Paper a try and HOT DAMN is it fun and simple to use. The free version functional enough to have fun with although it doesn’t include the blue sketch pencil or the ability to import sound. I hear that the application runs in 8 bit mode, which is probably why [...]
Houdini and Mr X Inc
June 8, 2008 – 9:45 am
I just finished watching Resident Evil Extinction. It’s the third movie of the Resident Evil series and I was pleasantly surprised. If not for any other reason, the FX don’t feel so fakey and the action is continuous. How about the story? Mad Max w/ zombies? It worked for me.
Working in the [...]
Voice Recognition in Linux
May 6, 2008 – 9:42 pm
I’ve been using voice recognition, on and off, for over a year now. It has advanced way beyond what I would have dreamed. I mentioned it to my mother and she said, “Yeah, that’s great to hear. It’ll put me out of a job.”
I was sorry to hear that, but it sounds [...]
