A different interview
My brother Daniel and I worked together on this video, an assignment for one of his classes at school. It’s a wonderful thing to have now that I’m so into genealogy. I also thought it was a very neat historical document because we interviewed people who experienced the revolution first-hand. This is not the interview…

Danny
While I was at my parents’ house, I wanted to show David, my youngest brother, how quickly I could generate I could a humanoid while also practicing the principles I learned with Raul Domingo. (Thus Danny’s extremely blocky midsection) Then I moved on to some more advanced topics, such as light. I had always been…

10 Little S’mores (Part 1 of 3)
On the same principle as I presented yesterday, I thought I would embed part one of my brother’s Sims 2-based machinima, 10 Little S’mores, so that, instead of having to go to Some Sort of Productions, my readers could watch it from the comfort of my blog. Please enjoy this great, funny little movie from…

Mythbusters Japan
This is from my brother, Dan, who went to Japan last summer. Hey all, I went walking with no apparent destination and, about 6-10 miles there and back later I found myself home and with impressions of Japan that I figured I’d share. Pretty much, I’m gonna take myths about Japan and debunk or support…

The Loveable David
Aw, our youngest brother is no longer so little.

I miss you….
But at least I continue to surprise myself with the amount of pictures I have, not only of my grandmother, but of my grandmother with my brothers and I. I have spent months dispairing that I had not taken enough pictures of her before she left us, but as I’ve gone through my old photos…

Digging up some more old pictures…this time not even a year old….

How My Parents are Saving the World
I really respect and admire my parents for what they are doing now. At a time when they should be relaxing after 24 years of parenting, they have taken on 3 foster kids – 2 of them at the last minute last week. It’s not as though my parents are trying to replace the void…

Presenting…..xmessage!
As I was reading the latest Linux Format Magazine, they had a great tip for a low tech way to remind yourself of different time-sensitive events. The best part is that it works under any window manager! (ie it doesn’t matter if you’re in Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Fluxbox, or any other) The trick is to…

A Quote
This Arab quote, which I read in the newspaper, describes exactly how I feel. “Me against my brother; me and my brother against my cousin; and me, my brother and my cousin against the stranger”

Today’s Jargon File Entry
Acme: n. [from Greek akme highest point of perfection or achievement] The canonical supplier of bizarre, elaborate, and non-functional gadgetry — where Rube Goldberg and Heath Robinson (two cartoonists who specialized in elaborate contraptions) shop. The name has been humorously expanded as A (or American) Company Making Everything. (In fact, Acme was a real brand…

Subversive Kid’s Tv Shows
I read a book a few years ago called “Don’t Tell the Grownups” about how some authors hid their dangerous messages in the form of children’s book. As I was listening to some music from the cartoon Animaniacs, I also heard some hidden messages that the kids might not quite understand. For example, in a…

I don’t agree with a lot of what the current administration is doing. While I don’t necessarily believe that G. W. Bush is evil like Mr. Burns and wishes to bring the US and England together under IncSoc, I do agree with some congressmen that he has set some perilous precedents if congress just leaves…

Linux on Windows without the Dual-Boot
VMware has relased their VMware Player player for free. This product acts as a virtual machine (as opposed to an emulator) and is, therefore, supposed to give you much faster speeds than a program like QEMU. You could use it to run Windows on Linux or Linux on Windows. I will go over putting Linux…

Where did it go?
The inflammatory post which spurned us to write what we did has been removed. For the sake of understanding what got us into such a tizzy, I’ll post a copy of it. Here it is: I’m definitely in the anger stage of grief, but bear with me I have always tried to believe that everybody…
