Why do fluid simulations fascinate me so much?
Probably for the same reason I LOVED taking these pictures: (you should view these large to get the full effect) So here’s one frame from a new mini animation I was working on today. I still have a few tweaks to make, but it took 20 minutes or so to generate this frame.

They Just Don’t Get It
Politicians continue to take the gay vote for granted. Personally, with the stances that Republicans take on social issues I don’t see how anyone with an alternative lifestyle can vote republican. Well, today, while listening to last week’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”, I found out that recently John McCain fired some of his campaign…

Stats are back in Vimeo…..
and I’m happy to say that today I got 35 views on “Jose’s Dinner” too bad no one’s leaving comments. But perhaps most of my viewers are not from the vimeo community.

Infinity on High is Worth the Money
Often the biggest gripe people have about CDs is that they are two or three hit singles packaged with a bunch of crap to justify selling it to you for $12 or more. I’ve felt that way many, many times. The phenomenon is a large part of the reason behind models like iTunes. In fact,…

What I wish I could do to politicians
“Wikipedian Protester” from the great mind behind xkcd. Every time politicians speak, I want to question their numbers, to force them to quantify where it came from. No one has the balls to do this out there other than Colbert and John Stewart who will play back to back quotes of politicians contradicting their selves.…

Some neat computer animation
I don’t like posting too many videos because they could be removed at any time, leaving this post worthless. However, here are some neat cartoons I found. The first one, “Wanted”, I found because it was featured in issue #92 of 3D World. It was the final project of some German film students. It took…
