The Mewl

Letter To He-Man circa 1984

I am going through the past.  This is real process.  Enjoy.

A letter to He-Man, written by me, illustrated by me, circa 1984.  I don't remember the last time I saw this, but I remember drawing it.

Polygon Cobra Hiss from GI Joe - Maya

Hi All!  I got busy!  I was working on some secret stuff all of May and June which shouldn't have been secret at all.  I kinda took a small break from 3D and did some stuff in Adobe and After Effects.  Did loads of editing in Sony Vegas.  I love to edit.  Learned a lot of new stuff.  Seems like I am learning more now that I am not in school.  Sometimes just getting school done gets in the way of learning.  Anyways, here is what I am working on now:  The Cobra Hiss!!!  One of the most impractical tanks, yet one of my favorite toys.  More after the jump.

Yes I am on Twitter

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.

Goofin' with After Effects

    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.

Green Screen: Go Joe!

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

AT&T Whistle-Blower's Evidence

This entry is a copy of this story of off Wired News.  AT&T is trying to get the Electronic Frontier Foundation to take this out of circulation.

Former AT&T technician Mark Klein is the key witness in the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class-action lawsuit against the company, which alleges that AT&T illegally cooperated in an illegal National Security Agency domestic-surveillance program.

In this recently surfaced statement, Klein details his discovery of an alleged surveillance operation in an AT&T office in San Francisco, and offers his interpretation of company documents that he believes support his case.

For its part, AT&T is asking a federal judge to keep those documents out of court, and to order the EFF to return them to the company. Here Wired News presents Klein's statement in its entirety, along with select pages from the AT&T documents.
