It's the end of january

It's the end of January, one month down eleven more to go. I usually recap my sweepstakes wins as the lost post of the moth, but I did not win anything this month. I've had one sweepstake win in two months, I'd say I've hit a dry spell. I hope I will get a few wins next month. That's all for today. Have a wonderful evening.

Today I made mountains - Blender

Today I made mountains using blender. I followed the mountain tutorial from Blender 3D noob to pro. I did not put any color on the mountains because I was not sure which color I wanted to use.

The big green monster is on his space mountain hideaway, oh no!

Today I made a Hat - blender

Today I did the hat tutorial from the Blender 3D Noob to Pro book. I crated another person and then I made the hat from the tutorial. The big green monster is wearing a hat I'm so scared.

Big green space monster - made using blender

I'm scared, I'm scared of the big green space monster because he is after me. Today I did the person tutorial from Blender 3D: noob to pro book and this is the terrifying result, somebody protect me. I think the model came out OK.

A Synfig Animation

Yay! Here is the first synfig animation I have uploaded to my blog. I created my first synfig animation yesterday, this animation here is the third of forth I have made using synfig.

I wanted to post an animation yesterday, but I ran into a problem because I could not render the animation in AVI, or MPEG, synfig would only render in gif format. I  uploaded the animation, but it would not work after I got it uploaded. So I tried to find a format conversion program, but I could not find one that would convert gif to avi.

So today I wanted to look for a screen capture program, but one landed right in my lap because kim komando had camstudio as her cool site of the day. How cool is that I did not even need to search for a screen capture program because a link to one was delivered to my inbox.

So I went to the website and got the program and that is what I recorded this animation with. I sure feel better knowing I can put synfig animations on my blog using camstudio.

some 3d programs I found the other day

I was reading  hacker news and I saw a link to The Linux Alternative project. The project had links to two 3d programs I had not heard of before k-3D and Art of Illusion. I love finding new programs to use. I never knew there were so many free 3d modeling programs. That's all.

Spam proofing my email adress

Today I used spam proof email address generator to put my email address on my blog. How thrilling. I got the website from komando.com probably two or three years ago. I had no use for the website at the time so I bookmarked it and forgot about it. Well now I've found it again after going though my bookmarks. I think the image look nice. That's all for today.

A different kind of music website

Today I planned to copy and paste the Farting Nun Organ into my blog, but it turned out the game was to big to fit on my blog as a post so I will just put the link to the website. I heard about the farting nun organ from about.com humor. I am disappointed. I would have loved to put it on my blog, oh well. I did play the organ a little.

Pivot Stickfigure animator, found in my bookmarks

A few days ago I found a link to a program called  pivot stickfigure animator in my bookmarks folder. I hope to make short animations with the program and put them on my blog.

I downloaded the program two or three days ago, but only  installed it today. It installed fine and then I stared up the program so I could try using it. I did not make anything worth saving, I definitely need more practice. I'm sure I will have fun using this program. 

I also found some information about pivot stickfigure animator on wikipedia. I just found the pivot stickfigure website , I got the link from the wikipedia article.

Today I found The Advertising Slogan Generator

You Like Computer Programming. Computer Programming Likes You.

Enter a word for your own slogan:

Generated by the Advertising Slogan Generator. Get more computer programming slogans.

Today I found The Advertising Slogan Generator in my bookmarks folder and then decided to put a slogan generated by the website on my blog. I put in the words computer programming and got the slogan above, very cool!. I got the generator from about.com humor.

A few days ago I received the 3M race day

A few days ago I received the 3M race day credential holder I won in December of 2008. I decided to leave it in the package it came in because it's silly to take it out just to take a picture of it when I could use a photo of the credential holders I have won previously. Yay!!

Today a site that has blueprints

Today a site that has blueprints. I thought I got The-Blueprints.com from the MemoBook, but I don't think I did because I checked the MomoBook and did not see the website, although I did not check very hard. So I have no idea how I found the website. The website is great.

Now I want to tell a story. I have delusions dreams of making a car using blender. One time I tried to make that dream come true with the help of a blueprint I got from The blueprints.com. I never finished the model which would have turned out terrible if I had. Some day I will make great 3d cars I know it. Oh yes I forgot one thing, the car I wanted to make was a Volkswagen beetle.

vroom vroom, a car website from my

Vroom vroom, a car website from my bookmarks folder today.

The Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum has pictures and information about micro cars. What cute little cars. I can't come up with anything more to write so I will just say I'd love to make a 3d model of a micro car with blender after seeing this site. I got this site from about.com I think.

Web Design goodies from my bookmarks folder

Some more goodies from my bookmarks folder. Page snooper is a website I got from komando.com and it will allow me to look at the html on websites. I want to use the website  because the more html I look at the better I will get at html, that's my theory anyway.

The Lorem Ipsum generator is a hand saving website because it will allow me to fill in the blanks of a css design easily. I got it from about.com graphic design. I'm glad I found this website, my hands are overjoyed.

And finally today I found the Internet Archives wayback machine, It's just great. I always intend to  got to the way back machine, but I keep forgetting about the the site. Now I can look at websites from years ago, how fun. I got the way back machine website from about.com graphic design.
