Thank's Guv!
It's not that I'm behind the times. I've known about Twitter since it first started. I just have never had a mobile phone that was worth texting from. I used to be a cutting edge buyer, but I realized that I'd rather have it cheaper and more stable by waiting a little while longer. That and it's not worth being cutting edge when cutting edge really isn't doing anything that could be called cutting edge.

I am a busy bee. Besides creating and entering work for different job considerations, contests, making delicious food, and going outside, I am also toning up my reel. I like to model things I have. I love objects and have based my models on things that also exist in real life. It frees me from worrying about my own artistic skill and the insecurities that can bring. I have the technical skill, but I feel my design and artistic skills, while quite improved over the past couple years, are nascent and just coming into their own.
More after the jump, including video that will give you life of dreams!!!
On the left you will see a new banner I made in Flash and Swift3D. Nothing fancy. It will now take you to my portfolio site instead of a gnome. I like Flash, and Actionscript ain't too tough since I have a slight background in C++, but I can't learn it in a weekend. There are loads of tutorials out there, but right now I need to focus on Maya and creative work rather than learning Flash through and through. I still have plans to learn more actionscript, but I need to get away from the website building for a second and go back to pure creation and back off of learning for a second.
One of my favorite Flash tutorials is located at Kongregate. Just look for their "Shootorials". It gives a great run down on what it takes to make a flash game, and this in turn gives nice insight into the syntax and language of Actionscript. I'd rather tell stories than make games, but I guess that is what makes Flash so powerful: it's versatility.
Now, it is time to go back to Maya and super original content. I filmed a bunch of stopmotion turntables and chroma-keyed them. They came out nice. I am going to go make some bread and play with After Effects.

Yes, I know that Ada Lovelace day was Tuesday, March 24. I know what I was going to write about, I just didn't have words in me the past few days. I had known who I was going to choose a while ago.
Technology is defined by Webster: a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge.
I am not going to defend my choice. Simone de Beauvoir accomplished the task of establishing her thought and mind among the crowd of men, which is no easy task. She stood with Sartre and Algren as peer and contemporary, not as student or associate
So I apologize for not writing this on the day itself. I think today, March 28, 2009 is a better day to remember her and acknowledge her reach. I mean, it is Nelson Algren's 100th birthday today, and I would rather write about her.
The Mewl is taking part of Ada Lovelace Day.

Green screen is easy when you are working in a small scale. You can light with flashlights. I need to begin working green screen with a bigger scale!
Anyways, I am modeling 3D in Maya based on objects I have. Mostly old accessories from Transformers, like the Swift3D/Flash sample I posted (I don't think it shows up in IE, but it does in Firefo). This camera I filmed after the jump is a small plastic accessory from GI Joe: A Real American Hero. More after the jump
A classic from my parent's collection. I don't know if it was something one of my parents listened to or if it was just collected and never listened to. I listened to it. Yeesh. Anyways, here it is. Remember, I was the one who did the Abe - Obama morph in February 2007, thus inspiring Obama's deep respect for Lincoln's legacy. I am on the political cutting edge.
I'm just testing out a new palette. I like the backgrounds and I'm pretty sure I am keeping them as long as I am on the Typepad platform. I'd like to update the banner soon though. I'm just looking for the original file if I still have it. However, if I have time I might just update the look to practice my .css skills.
Here goes the palette the new colors are based on. The two colors on the right of this badge below have been part of the site for a while. The rest are new.
