Ever have one of those days…
2008/09/24 – 6:34 pm
… where you finally realize that everything you’ve worked so hard on lately is just a steaming pile of poop? I’ve been trying to create a new weapon, and despite the fact that I have some pretty great tools for the various stages of building weapons, and more reference photos and videos than I will [...]
Playing with PrimComposer
2008/09/11 – 7:29 am
PrimComposer is a 3ds Max plugin by Shack Dougall that can greatly streamline the building process for Second Life content creators by turning Max into an easy-to-use offline building environment.

Pixologic ZBrush 3.1 Crashes to Desktop on startup
2008/09/05 – 11:39 am
Quick Summary: Pixologic ZBrush 3.1 and Process Explorer by SysInternals/Microsoft do not play well together.

Check out this dialog I was just presented with when I opened Firefox to read some of today’s blogosphere buzz : Okay… "Apparently there’s a picture or something in that blog post that is hosted on JIRA, which is causing the browser to ask me for my password", I thought to myself, "I should go [...]
Happy Father’s Day to Me
2008/06/15 – 8:48 pm
It’s been a pretty darned good day so far. I’ve been baking and cooking a lot with my daughter lately – she’s been showing more interest in cooking again – and last night (at 11:00PM, I have no idea why) we had decided to make an apple-cinnamon coffee cake (click the image at right for [...]
