The last time I had to integrate 3d into a project, I got excited about using Blender, because I had seen the potential. I told myself, “I’ll make sure and spend the time to get to know Blender better, so I can use it more efficiently!” And now, here I am again, needing […]

I just read about a study that showed that the interruptions caused by email can lower a person’s apparent IQ by as much as 10 points!
The mental impact of trying to balance a steady inflow of messages with getting on with normal work took its toll…. The IQ of those who tried to juggle messages […]
I’m continuing to watch the Kingdom Hospital episodes with Erin (Jen doesn’t care for the show). It really was a very well done show. Well, I keep calling it a show, but it was really a mini series. It was only, what, 14 or 15 hours long by design? I like […]
Two words: Magic Eye. And the only reason it’s just two words is because I’m trying to keep profanity off this blog. Oi my eyes!
I’ve been doing the Treasure’s Trove puzzle tonight, and I just got finished copying over what I’ve seen in a magic-eye picture. But unlike those nice pictures […]

I yanked this one from here….
How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None.
There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything […]

Don’t you hate it when forecasts are way off? Not that I blame the forecasters, I know how difficult it must be to try to predict the weather. I just hate the situation of, say, being told we would have three days of heavy thunderstorms and then getting nothing so much as a […]

Thought experiment….
I just read that scientists think that the first microsecond after the Big Bang the universe was in a superfluid state, and that it was around 1,000 Billion degrees hot. Wow, that’s hot! For some reason, thinking about this led me through a few wild tangents. First, that to observe this, […]
Boy I’m an just exhausted today. I don’t know what it is. I got a fairly normal amount of sleep last night — probably about 6 hours or so, I can’t remember exactly — but I’ve been fighting going to sleep since about 4pm.
I guess part of it was that the work I […]

WOW! If you heard a big clunk earlier today, that was the sound of millions of designer’s jaws collectively hitting their desks.
I just heard that Adobe is buying out Macromedia in a $3.4 Billion deal. (For those of you that aren’t familiar with these two companys, pretent that I just said “Microsoft is […]

Thinking out loud here….
I think I’m going to try to write a script that could be used to solve monoalphabetic substitution ciphers. As long as the ciphers are in English, a dictionary attack shouldn’t be too difficult. While figuring out all of the possibilities of a lengthy cipher would be ludicrous, a five-letter […]
