If you didn’t believe me before, check this out. This was done with Blender, which was a commercial app until 2002 when the company who created it went under. They then offered anyone to buy the source code, and the open source community ponied up — to the tune of $147,000 US. Six years later, …

The “screen resolution” of the universe
I don’t know a lot about quantum physics. I can’t tell you anything about matter or energy at Planck-scale sizes, outside of what I understand on Wikipedia (which isn’t much). I am, however, fascinated with the idea that the universe might actually have a basic resolution and matter-unit (or wave-unit, as the case may be) …

FIRST POST!!! (from my new house)
Okay, so I didn’t get around to blogging about all my experiences over this, my first week of home ownership, until just now. Chalk it up to my wanting to try to suck the marrow out of my vacation while I had one, given that the majority of it was spent either packing, cleaning the …

Still haven’t gotten to the supposed two-fer from yesterday
Tomorrow I’m destined for a last-second panic-attack-induced road trip to another work site wherein I will have to perform duties I estimate as being about 30 hours of work in much, much less than that. No cracks about the Scotty rule either — I’m serious when I estimate that’s how much work it will normally …

Wherein Paris Hilton did something that is not completely like a vapid whore.
John McCain gets owned by, of all people, Paris Hilton. I just found a shred of respect for Skeletor, due to her being able to read a teleprompter, and accepting this gig. I did not think this would happen in a million years. See Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad and more funny videos on …
