The Aida Interview
That tape I was waiting to rewind was an interview I did with my grandmother. She was only 3-4 months from dying. It’s freakin’ surreal! I knew I had this tape, but I couldn’t find it for the past 3 years! I had wanted to do this for years – video tape an interview with…

Raul Domingo’s Apartment
from my vimeo page: The cartoon I’m going to be making featuring the budgie you’ve been seeing will take place in this apartment living room. There seem to be two flaws. 1) The camera seems to move in a strange, unanticipated way in the beginnig 2) I need to fix the lighting situation. I had…

Work on my budgie short proceeds
The short will take place in an apartment living room so I’m taking a little bit of a break with the budgie to work on the living room. (This is, in many ways, a lot easier than the bird, so it’s a welcome change) Finished my first ever couch today. I’m pretty happy with how…

Taking a break from Photography
I’ve got a ton of projects going right now, so I’m taking a break from photography until I get a bit more free time. I began to realize that when I was just taking a picture right before going to bed of just about anything, just to fulfill my picture of the day, I was…

Democracy Player…post 1
Democracy player is an interesting new type of video software which allows the user to subscribe to video feeds and have them automatically downloaded. One way to think of it is like a TiVo for internet videos. I’ll post some more after I get some experience with it, but if you want to go ahead…

Flock – A New Type of Browser
I’m writing this from flock, a new web browser which comes with a lot of built-in utitlities for the most popular web technologies including flickr and blogging. I’m writing this post from within flock’s blog utility. I’m not sure yet if this is a worthy feature or just a gimmick. I intend to try flock…

Almost done!
The budgie is almost complete. Here I am testing all of the bones. I just have a few things left to fix up with the bones. Then I need to fix the tapering of the wings. After that I just have a few little things like making the bird blink. Then I’ll be about 80%…

Budgie Toes complete
Finally got to do some more work on the budgie today after having taken about 4-5 days off to do other stuff like photography and be with my wife. Finished rigging up all 6 toes on the bird. All I have left in the rigging is to do his legs and creating a tracking bone…

Christmas Stop-Motion
I’ve been inspired by a string of videos on Vimeo involving live action stop-motion. Usually stop motion is used to animate inanimate objects or create movies such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. But with the cheapness of digital photography, more and more people are turning to using stop-motion to animate themselves. I didn’t have this…

Global Warming?
I don’t know if it’s the fault of global warming, but something is seriously wrong with the climate recently. Yesterday it was 72 degrees in Washington DC – IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY! Don’t get me wrong, I love walking around in a tshirt and tank top in January – it kinda reminds me of…

KDE 4 Marches on….
KDE.news has reported on part of the progress of KDE 4 specific to SVG graphcs. (I know that’s redundant) It’s redundant because SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. Ever since about 2 years ago, Gnome and other projects began to move to SVG rather than PNG, JPG or other types of graphics. “What’s the advantage?”…
