Finally! I am getting a PC that is capable of doing actual rendering, which means... MORE 3D renders coming out of my work space as well as new tutorials!

Since my tutorials seem to be in high demand I am planning a new one to arrive with the betas for the newest version of Blender due out in the next couple months. Also I have a ton of projects waiting for a machine capable of rendering them within this decade to finish up...

I hope this actually comes to pass.

I was starting to get a lot of things done, I was at the best physical condition I have been in since highschool, and then... BLAM I get hit by illness. One totally out of season, and totally not meant for someone my age or health history. After a short treatment I go to a new doctor and get a full checkup, to find out that something I suspected months ago but was told couldn't be possible was going on. I went through a rough medical treatment that dropped my immune system for days, while coming off that I caught a cold while my body couldn't fight it... Awesome. I am finally coming out of it. And I never missed a day of work despite all this going on, but that also meant the moment I got home I basically passed out.

No free time or anything, but I was feeling well enough for one night to go see Nine Inch Nails... and it was fucking amazing. Trent is a freaking genius!

Hope all is well with everyone else.

I haven't been doing too much until recently, but I plan on improving my account on here as much as possible in the next couple weeks. New stuff is on the way!

... debate coverage was? Or was I the only one who noticed that for a full 20 minutes there was only women talking about Sarah Palin, then only black reporters talking about Obama's camp and Biden. I had to turn it off. Sarah did slightly better then I thought at first, but basically avoided most of the questions. I am trying to hold her to the same standards as the rest of the nominees but it is a little hard when everyone on TV wants to coddle her constantly.

I mean she seemed overly uncomfortable at times, ignored several questions, especially if they were related to her having any weaknesses. My biggest complaint is that she, in front of everyone, suggested that homosexuality is a choice. Grrr... Her kind of constant on the attack attitude mixed with "I don't know" then look as cute and innocent as possible stance on the issues was kind of sickening. Biden had quite a few biting remarks that she just replied to by not acknowledging them then saying something stereotypical of her.

Anyone else notice the whole thing was sponsored by one of her big campaign contributors in the past ExxonMobile? I don't know, the whole thing is extremely transparent, then they march out woman after woman to critique how well she did compared to how "nay-sayers" thought she would.

Well, she looked like she has been practicing for weeks on a few issues, and trained how not to answer EVERYTHING else. Then for all these women to say she passed their low standards for her (hurray?!?) is just kind of insulting. One of them even suggested that they expected Biden to lash out at her, like the insider man he was. Considering Biden was a single father and has an, I think, equal sized family if not larger, it isn't fair that Palin get special consideration for that compared to him.

It was all very polarizing... I think sexism has been pushed back, in my mind, a decade thanks to what took place in front of me tonight. Overall I felt a little sick, if people did think the way the media grand-stand did, I feel very sorry for this country.

Hey guys!... all one or two of you who even care if I post things on DA! I am here to let you know I have started organizing myself a bit better then I have in the past.

Moved into a new place and have settled in already, I have my tablet and sketchbooks ready; actually starting to do studies in my book, although, I suck.

If you haven't noticed I have been doing a lot of modeling for the original Quake. It is an interesting experience since it takes about 1-2 hours to model something, then about 3 days to get it in a working condition to start animating then, ???. Not sure how you animate these damned things reliably.

It will be a mystery for sure, I might just switch to a manual compiler by the time I finish dealing with all the half finished editors out there...

Anyways, I am working on one serious 3D rendering project, a digital wallpaper that I am taking my time with, a NEW BLENDER TUTORIAL!!! (seams and UV mapping) and more Quake mdl goodness.

As well my side-jobs in web development might get posted although they require minimal effort to produce... meaning there isn't anything THAT interesting about them visually.
