God as a Computer Programmer
I found this online and I think it’s hilarious! Some Important Theological Questions are Answered if we think of God as a Computer Programmer. Q: Does God control everything that happens in my life? A: He could, if he used the debugger, but it’s tedious to step through all those variables. Q: Why does God…

Fox News Racist Bastards
First they release news that Barack Obama went to school in a madrassa in Indonesia. When CNN decides to do some research and proves that it’s just a public school, Fox comes out and shows their anti-muslim racism outright. From ThinkProgress.org we get this transcript: GIBSON [W]hat did they see when they went to the…

Getting back at those myspace loser kids
If there’s one thing those of us who have been creating websites for a long time know – it’s that inlining images is not to be tolerated. It’s considered very rude to waste someone else’s bandwidth – especially since they are probably paying per mb. What’s inlining you say? It’s displaying an image on your…

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…

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?”…

Fur
I wanted to play a little with particle systems in Blender and see if I could get some realistic fur. I came to the conclusion that I need a lot more practice before I try to implement it. Sure, making a furry sphere went very well. I even got a little bold and added some…

www.dropthebombproductions.com gets another overhaul
Well, after fixing it up the first time to deal with the fact that I had uploaded my videos to Vimeo, I found that the site looked a bit clunky. So I revamped the opening page and fixed up some of the organization of the content pages as well. In some cases I deleted references…

Merry Christmas!
For those of who are non-Christians – I hope you can take this time to spend with your families and friends and be happy. For Christian readers, take time today out of the pagan rituals of trees with lights and presents by a large, fat man. Take time to remember that Christmas is about the…

How Far is infinity?
Although it may seem like a philosophical or silly question, it is indeed a practical question for me. You see, we have a tradition at Christmas-time in my family where we play dominoes on the days before Christmas and whoever wins gets to open a gift. I’m sure I mentioned this around this time last…

Fedora News
A few big things in Fedora News. First of all, the Fedora Summit happened recently. They are tackling a lot of things for Fedora Core 7 including blurring the line between Core and Extras (a point of contention for those moved from Core to Extras – they were less important they felt) and finally having…

Progress on Raul Domingo
I’m making really great progress on Raul Domingo. As I mentioned yesterday, the fact that I’ve already used Blender before is really helping me understand what I’m doing instead of hunting down where things are. Today I not only finished putting bones into the legs and feet, but I’ve also done a wonderful walking and…

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…

Penguin Short…just a few days away….
I finally finished the animation for the penguin short. It looks to be about 2 minutes long. (Not including opening and closing credits) I will now begin rendering and we shall see just how long it takes to render. I was originally going to do an HD render, but I’m afraid it will take much…

Kids love Linux!
As I read this article about how this guy’s kids love Linux and hate Windows, I had a couple of questions come to my mind. First of all, is this a testament to how easily kids learn things? Second, what does this mean for newbies to Linux who complain that it’s not as easy as…

Vimeo!
Just wanted to talk about Vimeo, a flickr-like site for videos. You can see my videos at http://www.vimeo.com/user:djotaku/clips . Some of my readers may notice that I have these clips on my server (except Pao Bhangra). So why would you go to vimeo? Because my server has limited bandwidth. I think it uploads at 2…
