Three Twenties Day
Today is 3/20/2020 and the namesake for this website, which is named for my birthday 🎂. Otherwise, I wish I had more to offer on this day. 🤷🏼♂️
And we have another site redesign
I went ahead and redid my site for the millionth time, mainly because the original header (hero) was too data-heavy, and also not very interesting. Also, I wanted to clean up the look of the site, and improve its mobile presentation as well. The core of this site is a normalization and base HTML5 stylesheet, as well as a companion [...]
My picture of a bunny in the Journal Sentinel
I got a picture that I took of a small bunny from my folks backyard printed in the Weather Photo of the day section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 📰 today. Pretty neat! Link to the article: jsonline.com
The Mischievous Bears Re-rendering
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 [...]
New Renderings with 3ds Max
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 [...]
Raspberry Pi ramblings
Last Spring, when I rebuilt this website, I used a Raspberry Pi on my home network as an internal web server to host the site development. Setting it up for that purpose was pretty easy once I got PHP/MySQL and WordPress installed on it. However, there were a couple of config files that had to be manually modified which required [...]
New site, new logo for 2016
I spent the last year working on redesigning MarchTwenty and it's respective logo. I figured the 'm20' logo with the title 'Marchtwenty' seemed a little redundant, so I went with something more dramatic, plus I wanted a logo that would fit nicely in a square. The site itself is built around a WordPress template that I created from scratch. The [...]
10th Anniversary of MarchTwenty.com
It's been 10 years since I registered MarchTwenty.com. The years before I registered this domain name, I had registered march-twenty.com and then later marchtwenty.net. As such, I redesigned the site... again. With luck, I will now try and focus on my next book(s).
iPhone Art
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).
New toy
I guess I haven't posted here in a while. I don't have a lot to write about to update my blog on a regular basis. But anyway, I finally bought myself a new car, it's the first nice or even decent car I have ever owned and it's about time. It should be fun until the first snowfall that is. [...]
