Mario Party 8...
…is a lot of fun. I love pulverizing (and being pulverized) in the mini games.
A hilarious Penny Arcade
Can be found here. However, there is profanity involved, so don’t go there if that offends you. Otherwise hilarious. That’s all I have to say today, spent my time out of work watching disc 4 of “The Office” and pre-ordering Mario Party 8.
Wii Remote Awesomeness
This guy wrote software to control music loop software with a Wiimote. Unfortunately, I think it’s only for macs.
Clear Water
Thanks to the helpful users over at blenderartists.org, I was able to solve the problem of the water turning black upon landing on the table in my fluid simulations. Apparently, I needed to turn on TraShadows (transparent shadows). You may want to save this for your last step because it causes the renders to take a LOT longer. I put the cup, table, and water with TraShadows on and you can see the results. (Click for full size)
Some of my favorite Wedding Shots
I was the photographer for a wedding this weekend (that’s the reason behind the lack of any posts recently). Here are some of my favorite shots so far.






Latest Demo
I tried another shot at using the physics engine and here’s my latest work. I rendered this at full HD resolution so it took 2 days and 7 hours to render these 990 frames. Enjoy!

Fedora 7 out soon!
Fedora 7 should be out in 8 days. This time around there isn’t much I’m looking forward to in the new release as they are mostly just laying the groundwork for more changes in future Fedoras. My wish list is better compiz support and just a few newer versions of stuff like Pidgin (formerly Gaim) and Blender.
