My Pathalogy
According to the latest issue of IEEE Spectrum, I suffer from completism. Completism is when you have to have all of a collection. It’s true I’m always get annoyed whenever I have only one DVD of a Tv series or if I have 9 of 10 DVDs or something. Feel the same way? Now you…

It’s the end of the world….
Our sexually crazy and confused friends over in Japan have decided to contribute to the end of humanity with the Honey Doll (warning link contains some images/sounds NSFW) : Unlike the blowup doll everyone makes fun of, the Honey Doll is supposed to mimic real women. It looks real (or creepily almost real) and…

First, about the weekend, then some more progress on “Sugar”
This weekend was pretty great. I got to spend a lot of time with my wife. They were supposed to call her in on Saturday, but it got canceled, so that made our time together more enjoyable. Dan came over and we watched him play Guitar Hero 2 on the PS2. I gave it a…

A couple new “Sugar” Images
First up, a coaster that Penguin Pete designed the texture for: then the entire scene with a texture I made for the table:

Better Excuses
A male Florida Senator was recently arrested attempting to solicit sex from a male prostitute. His excuse, “I was in a bad neighborhood and I saw all these black guys and I got scared.” I don’t understand how that excuse works well. John Oliver from The Daily Show had a better excuse, “I’m bulimic and…

News is supposed to be NEW
The reason behind the lack of my news or politics-related material recently is due to a very simple fact – the world has become boring. I haven’t seen anything new happening in months. The war in Iraq continues, stagnating at the pace of a glacier. Has anything new happened there? No. US soldiers continue to…

Warcraft Fashion Show
Actually, it’s Warcraft cosplay. Why not? They do it with anime. I’m not sure how long the video will remain up, but enjoy it while it’s there. But, can someone who knows the game tell me wtf is the checkered cube?

Remyyy proves once again why the Public Domain is awesome
I am a huge opponent of repeated attempts to extend copyright so that new works never fall into the public domain. I’ve explained this many times and, while Creative Commons is not public domain, per se, it tends to give the same benefits. Namely, someone can take the content of someone else and make something…

More Photos included in Schmaps (maybe)
Remember before when I had my Tampa pictures included in Schmaps? Well, looks like they’ve chosen one for Baltimore. I hope they choose it for the final version. Here it is: I’m pretty excited at the prospect of people seeing my pictures when they look at the map for Baltimore.

A little less blurry
edit: I was going to write something to go with this and I was talking with my wife and forgot to do so. I noticed that the previous large image was a bit blurry as well as having bad lighting. So I fixed the lighting, added a wall, and it looks a lot less blurry…

Some more work on Sugar
Here are some more test renders I’ve done for Sugar. First I created an advertisement for the beer similar to the ones you see in a typical restaurant. I used the GIMP and the fact that backgrounds in blender are transparent. Not bad, eh? I did later fix the light color of the ads. It…

B33r thanks to Pete!
(Title is reference to my favorite Megatokyo tshirt) In addition to the label for the Ketchup bottle, Pete also provided me with a label for a beer brand. Some people expressed confusion – I was the one who created the bottles and Pete created the labels I’ve applied. As before, click on the image for…
