There’s been a lot going on lately, both professionally and personally, here’s a bit of what’s new.
Willow is doing great. She is hitting her milestones (albeit slowly due to her latent visual development – which is due to her eye surgeries) and loving life. She is working on her crawling stance, working on grabbing toys and can “baby talk” like a pro! We went and saw baby Tristan last week, which was great. (Congrats to Bry and Brit!!!) I’m so glad she is in my life, and wouldn’t wish for anything more 
Professionally, I’ve applied to a senior position at my current employer. Although I’m not experienced to the senior level, I thought I’d give it a shot. I didn’t get the job per say…however I was given the opportunity to prove my salt as a systems administrator. I will be doing this by taking on some projects after hours and completing some labs, that show my ability to grow and learn quickly, in any given area of technology. So far I have taken on vlan trunking, Linux networking, Windows GPO administration. So anywhere from Linux to Cisco.
I’m still working on the updates of old artwork, writings and such. Stay tuned,

I found these videos making fun of people going all stupid over the iPhone 4.
The guy seems to be a fan of the HTC Evo and points out how people just go crazy for Apple products, buying them instead of evaulating the competetive options. These options, as pointed out in the videos, are sometimes lower price, better service and readily available to the consumer…
I’m Dr. Steve Brulle, for your health.
WellNow and I are working on a project for a video game. We have the game engine and the storyline, we have the will power and the know how. What we don’t have (up until tonight) was the modeling software.
I’m familiar with 3DS Max and the free program Anim8or. Which concerning Anim8or, WellNow has given me considerable shit. We are staying legal, so we didn’t want to pirate Max or Maya. Just a few days ago, WellNow brought up the free modeling program Blender.
I was reluctant to switch to a new program, as I had used Blender in the past and didn’t like it to say the least. It had a bad UI, which was my main beef. I never went back after that first download and trial of the software.
Given our current situation, Anim8or is a joke and Max and Maya are out of the question. So after considerable griping about not being able to use Max, I downloaded Blender and gave it a try. After downloading the 2.5 Alpha, I was extremely surprised and changed my artist status from “Gripe” to “Glee”.
The UI had a HUGE update. Features like scaling and adding modifiers have been much simplified. I may post a Blender Convert review a bit later, but for now, I’m definitely sold on using Blender as my modeling platform of choice1
Keep an eye out for some site updates. I’m working on a vegetarean cooking blog. Also working on posting old artwork and possibly old writings…
Stay nerdy webninjas!
