Updated to WordPress 2.6.3

November 12, 2008

I updated to WordPress 2.6.3, and switched my comments system from Disqus over to IntenseDebate. Disqus was perfectly fine, but I needed to switch over to ID to take advantage of PingBacks.

Another viewpoint on Iterative Design

November 11, 2008

Cool Motion Graphics Experiment

September 19, 2008

I really like this kind of stuff. This piece is pretty neat, as it kept me watching with just barely 2 second clips locked together. Worth the 30 seconds or so if you like off-beat art or demonstrations of skill:

Great Games I played in August

September 11, 2008

I’ve been really busy at the new startup, PushButton Labs, and have been cranking out some cool art there. I have three tutorials in the process (all in 3DS Max this time) but between building the yurt (65% there!) and the work at the startup I slacked a bit on this site in August.
