I just completed the High-Definition re-rendering of The Mischievous Bears short animated movie. The process went smoother than I expected it to, considering the assets I was using were 15 years old, and plus, I haven't really worked with 3ds Max in 10 years or so. It goes to show how little 3ds Max has changed after all of these [...]

I recently began playing with 3ds Max again to see if I can load up some of my old renderings. To my amazement very little has changed with that software in the last 12-ish years since I last worked with it. Suffice it to say, I could re-render a few of my old favorites and even made 8x10 prints from [...]

I've been dabbling with SketchBook Pro on my iPhone and iPad for over a year now. These are some samples I made on my phone (with my finger).

I have been dabbling with Sketchbook Pro (among other drawing apps) on my Mom's iPad lately. I have to say it's pretty fun to work with. Not quite a Wacom tablet killer, Sketchbook has a few limitations, but it certainly has it's uses considering the price difference between the two. Sketchbook just needs to support larger canvases and it'll be golden. [...]

I've been monkeying around with WordPress for the last month or so. I think I now have a pretty good handle on its inner workings, so I've been able to make this theme a little more compact and unique from the pedestrian default look, of my old theme. Anyway, I may still make some changes to the graphics through the [...]

I really like having a personalized wall calendar. Normally, I have been using the freebie calendars provided by a realtor, which isn't all bad, because they're peppered with virtually all the local events. But, I personally prefer to display my own artwork on my walls, even if it's not the best. A couple of years ago, I made a calendar [...]

I just finished the winter version of my iGoogle Houses Theme (dead link). I tried to make it relatively generic in avoiding anything directly related to the holidays since this theme is supposed to last through February. I'll need to come up with a Spring theme next and after that, I don't know. I still need to make a theme [...]

I’ve redesigned my site around a new content management system that I wrote from scratch. On this new site, I stripped away the unnecessary material and streamlined what I had left. Most of my gallery works are, at this point, pretty old, so I’ve pushed them into the back seat and I'm focusing on my more recent works, such as [...]

I made my own iGoogle homepage theme with Inkscape. The creation process wasn't too bad, Google's documentation was okay, but as a web designer I wish Google allowed a bit more freedom in the design of a few of the graphical elements. I'll probably update it in the future, fix a few minor things. I may even do a winter [...]

First up, the next version of REMLAB is coming along smoothly. I have most of the Inner Sphere level 2 material and a little of the level 3 in (mostly weapons). I'll add the Clan material once I complete the IS stuff. Second, I just set up a web page for my book. It's still under construction and doesn't have [...]
