Dodgeball in the rain,

It dampens all the pain,

I think I'll go insane,

Because I'm playing dodgeball in the rain!

But seriously, it's like the highlight of my summer now.

Well, until the chicks from Japan move in downstairs next week. (or so I hear, heh.)


First two classes went all right, I need to re-gear my approach and adjust the flaps for chaos control. So many questions, and so little time.

Boss man Steve and his mighty crew of techno misfits have been snapping photos left and right, I'll try to snag some for the blog.

I gots my Summer Tech staff T yesterday, it made it all so... official...


Still doing meet and greets, junior staffers and the regular staff is trickling in. I was the first one in on Thursday, spent the night in the empty halls making noise, watching anime, and shoving down my treasured Yankee Doodles (Cream filled devils food cakes.) The kids come in on Sunday, and we spent today getting the lab in some kind of order while wondering where the toilet paper and shower curtains are.

In stranger news, my pal Wilson is getting married, and it's not a barnyard animal wearing the other ring. Surprise Surprise. Seriously, congrats man!

Until next time campers,

-Buddy of Summer Tech

I made it. Somehow.

Sleep required for brain to work.

Sleep.

I haven't done much 3D lately, so before my big trip I thought I'd give it another shot...

8 shot revolver, baby!

Holding out right at 1250 polys, much to optimize there is, but it is intended to be a hero prop at one point, so I may cram in even more details. (For Machinima use, a traditonal 3D gun would be much, much more detailed)

It's been nearly a year, and I just now got the film I took developed. We didn't spend much time snapping photos, but here's a few choice shots from the event...

Warning: These pics are huge like 1228*1818 or some such nonsense, however they're are quite small in terms of bytes. [edit] I made them smaller, so you can see them[/edit]

Welcome to Canada
This was the view from our Hotel, which was bigger and nicer than our college apartment at the time.

The Machinima Pannel
This is right after Paul Marino, Friedrich Kirschner, and Matt Ross held the What is Machinima panel.
You can see from the left: Friedrich, Mike, Paul, and Matt is ducked down getting some cables or his beer, or something...

The Gang
You can see from the left: Paul's Back, Friedrich, Ken Thain "3dfilmmaker", and Matt is sitting down relaxing after a tough crowd outside the building that held the Machinima Panel.

As you can see, I took all of the pictures, so I'm not in them. Hah!

Next time I'll be sure to snap a lot more pictures, or finally trade my Nikon 35mm for digital so it's not so expensive.
