blah blah blah, more talk about nothing

I want to talk some more about my blog today. First up I wrote a post about posting a 3d model that I've made every day for a year on my blog. I am tossing that goal aside because there is no way I can post a 3d model to my blog every day. I tried to post a 3d model every day and it made using blender no fun because I felt pressure to find a tutorial and make the model and post it to my blog.

Another thing I don't want to do anymore is try to meet the goals that I said I wanted to accomplish. Last year I wrote fifteen posts that listed goals I wanted to accomplish, but I don't care about those goals anymore. Good by goals I wrote down.

Today I looked through some folders that I keep pdf files of books in and came across a pdf file called Berkeley Logo: An introduction and quick reference guide and decide to read it. I managed to get all the examples in the guide to work, Yay for me.

After reading the guide I looked for the blog post I wrote about logo last year. After reading the post I wrote about logo I thought wow that post does not make any sense, I hope I have improved my writing since that logo post.

More thoughts about my blog

By original content I mean posting tips and tutorials on my blog. I got the idea stuck in my head that I need to post tips or tutorials on my blog and then people might read it.

Now after thinking about it I don't want to post that kind of stuff. There are many other websites that have tutorials on computer programming a computer graphics so why would anyone come here to read those types of posts when they can go to other websites and get better information.

Before I wrote my post yesterday I though my blog was horrible no one will ever read it, it's boring. Now I have come to the conclusion that it probably is boring and no one will ever read it, but it does not matter to me any more if anyone reads what I write because I enjoy writing and posting pictures of my sweepstakes prizes, and also posting pictures of the 3d models I have made using blender.So I don't want to worry if my blog is interesting and I want to keep blogging for as long as I have fun blogging.

One thing about this blog that makes me feel good is that I have posted ever day for almost a year. I wanted to become a blogger and now I am a blogger. It's not a great of even a good blog, but it's my blog. Yay!!!

Wow, I have posted over 300 times

I have written over three hundred blog posts, so I want to write a post about my blog. when I started blogging I wanted to have a popular blog but, now I don't think my blog will ever be popular because I don't have anything interesting to write about.

I mean I have a few interests, I enter sweepstakes, I like drawing, I enjoy computer programming, and making computer graphics but, I don't know enough about those subjects to write an entertaining blog.

Sweepstakes - I only post pictures of my prizes on this blog and I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to post sweepstakes tips or anything else about sweepstakes.

Drawing - I am still drawing every day, but I don't know enough about drawing to post tips or tutorials. Maybe I should post some of the things I draw on my blog although now I just do figure drawing from magazines and so I need to come up with other things to draw. Maybe I could draw comics that might be fun.

Computer programming - I enjoy computer programming, but I still have not made a website or made a useful program. I know the names of some programming languages and hopefully I will learn how to build a website, but I don't think my blog will ever be as good as the blogs hacker news links to. I would love to be a great programmer, but I am nowhere near being even a good programmer.

Computer Graphics - All I can do now is post the pictures I make with blender after completing a tutorial and the models are not good. And I only use gimp to crop and scale photo's for my blog.

So because I don't know enough about the subjects I want to blog about I end up mostly linking to other sites like about.com and not creating original content of my own. If I end up doing a blog long enough I hope to make more original content.

Here is my 3d car model

I got most of the car modeling tutorial that I found at CGTutorials done so I'll say my car is finished. The model still needs a lot more work, but I want to model something else.

When I started modeling the car I thought oh, it won't take that long to model maybe a day or two. I was wrong, it took me probably about ten, maybe twenty hours to model what you see in the picture. It was a fun ten plus hours though.

I finished the back fenders and trunk lid

Today I finished the back fenders. I also made the trunk lld. I think I need to adjust the trunk lid it looks to flat.

The car model contitues

I am still doing the car tutorial I got from CGTutorials. Today I modeled most of the rear of the car. I hope I get my car model done be the end of this year.

My car model again

Today I made most of the back quarter panel of my car model. The panel came our pretty smooth yay for me.

I got the trim around the door windows finished

I got the trim around the door windows finished today. I can't come up with anything else to write so I am done.

I finished more of the car 3d model

I am still doing the car tutorial I got from CGTutorials. Today I made the back window and some of the side of the car model. I also tweaked the hood of the car to make the hood scoop.

I made the piece under the car door today

Today I made the bottom piece that goes under the door of the car, follow the white arrow. I started out today wanting to make the side of the car from the front quarter panel all the way to the back of the car, minus the door which I made yesterday, I accomplished my mission but ended up deleting the whole piece because I could not get it shaped right. Then I made the piece under the door.

I made the doors, side windows and roof of my car today

I am still doing the car tutorial I got from CGTutorials.

I spent about two hours today making the doors, roof and side windows for my car model. I am happy that they turned out smooth compared to the front part of the car. I think I am improving, but it could be that the parts I made today are easier to make.

More 3d car model talk

Today I finished modeling more of the front of the car. The modeling I did today looks smoother although it's still pretty bumpy. I hop I can figure out how to make the parts turn out smooth. I got the car tutorial from CGTutorials.

Also today I uploaded a page to my website. I read some beginning articles about xhtml, css, on javascript so I decided to create a web page and post it to my website.

I have the front part of my car model finished

I'm still doing the car model tutorial I got from CGTutorials.

I have the front part of my car model finished. It looks terrible but, it does look like the front of a car. I tried using set smooth on the model but, set smooth made it look worse so I set it back to set solid.

It took me 2 or 3 hours to get the front finished but, I had a lot of fun. I just hope that the next car model I make looks better.

Today I worked on a 3d car model

Today I worked on a 3d car model. I have wanted to make a 3d car model for a while but every time I have seen a car modeling tutorial I think some day I want to try that tutorial but, I need more experience using blender. But recently I saw a car modeling tutorial at CGTutorials and decided to do it.

So about a week ago I started modeling the car by making the hood then did not do the tutorial again until today. Today I worked on the font of the car which took me a while and was very frustrating. But the time went by fast. I think when my model is finished it will look like a wrecked car instead of a nice shiny new car.

Also today I decided to put up a website even thought I have no idea what I want to put on it. So today I stared learning xhtml again by reading the first lesson of about.com's xhtml class.
