Is this a blog about rendering penguins?
It seems that way recently, but that’s just because I haven’t had much time for anything else. It’s been a crazy few days. That said, here I’ve added light inside the penguin’s house. and here he is snoozing on the bed I just made him. Once I make him a few more things, I think…

The Penguin has a home!
Unfortunately for him, I haven’t built an opening into his igloo yet, so he’s kinda stuck outside. That’s fine because I haven’t made him any furniture yet! But then again, I haven’t made him eyes yet, so perhaps he doesn’t know about the igloo yet? So much to do and so little time to do…

GPL wins Legal Battle Again!
The same dork who, last December, was trying to claim that the GPL ruined his ability to program because the software was available for free, appealed last December’s decision. Well, on 9 November, he was handed another blow from the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Judge was a pretty smart guy…

Donald Rumsfeld fired!
So, today I heard the biggest shock of 2006, Donald Rumsfeld was sacked! This was a surprise because Bush emphatically declared, going into the election, that he would not get rid of Rummy. It was also a surprise because I thought Bush would let the democrats fight to get rid of Rumsfeld, thus putting the…
