Ugh.... I've been dodging colds and flus for a while now and it looks like the bug has finally caught me. I'm now in prevent mode trying to avoid getting a sore nose from all the tissues or worse yet, a cold sore- nasty.
I've been exploring Blender a bit, catching some tutorials, it looks like it has been recently updated... It actually looks like a nice piece of 3d modeling software. I can't judge a book by its cover, but I find it in my best interest to learn as many 3d tools as possible. And I think Blender may be a much better alternative to Sketchup, which has worn out my interests as of late. Good luck modeling anything organic
There also seem to be a very nice community out there devoted to continually improving the software. I'll report my reactions and thoughts soon!

Spacecraft 3d
Check out this app, it's made by jpl I think. It's an app to check out the curiosity rover in 3d via augmented reality. You print off a pattern, run the app and point the camera at the pattern, presto, a 3d model is projected onto the pattern through your camera screen. You can move the camera around and explore the model at every angle, you can even rotate the pattern to move the model. Oh the possibilities. I can just see an employers facial expressions now. I'm seriously thinking about writing an app just for my own portfolio. Easier said than done. see screenshot!
Tryin out the new blogger app, on my new phone. I can't believe I survived this long without an iPhone. More liberating than anything, I no longer need to pack my laptop scouring for wifi to get access to Internet. Now the Internet is at my fingertips whenever I want. I'm also trying to meld the ways I communicate into fewer devices and software. I hope to breath more life into this blog to maintain an online presence with old friends and new acquaintances... Look forward to ramblings and such that cannot be told in a single tweet, you can find that too, in the widgets to the right. Also, I've made a poll that I would like to throw out there weekly.
