the earth is your playground: google sketchup

sketchup.google.com

not only is it super-easy 3d software. (which I could have used like 2 weeks ago, thanks jerks)

The fun part comes when you integrate with other googly things like google earth, and their new 3d warehouse.

for example: I made a giant ufo come down and shoot some beam over the space needle.

and here is a building that I made and built on pioneer square a prominent park, and sweet piece of real estate:

Obviously we need a Godzilla
I can take a godzilla from google's collected objects and scale it up a little bit and place it right downtown.

Next, I'm going to fly a plane into the pentagon, just for a size comparison.

I'm Disappointed

$14,000 disappointed. I can blame Bush.
Worst. President. Ever.

Down Under

they call them cyclones instead of hurricanes,
and 300kph winds instead of 190mph winds,
and Monica instead of Katrina.

but the intensification of either phenomenon seems to be caused
by what they call global warming and we call global climate change.

Fun fact:
In the Southern Hemisphere, Cyclones will spin Clockwise, and in the Northern they Spin Counter-Clockwise.

website factory

I'm redoing the resist.cc site in flash.
I made a website factory as an intro, and then we will resist it.

Right now the factory part is the only part that's all done. so I put it up. and you are allowed to check it out.

resist.cc

This will be my first complete flash website. But I've been using flash a lot lately and I've almost got the hang of it.

Bulk Update

I haven't updated in a while, but I've thought about it a few times.

The following are the things I thought about at the times where I was thinking about logging them. I might miss one or two, and they might have stopped being in chronological order. Self-censorship is in effect though, where I leave out a strong emotional distaste I've acquired for certain nouns that I know. (Nouns are words, but as metaphors I'm actually referring to the subjects of the metaphors, not the actual nouns. Forget it; I'm not telling anyway.)

The Heart I created and ate:

It's actaully not meaty but gummy. Created by making a super-saturated solution of sour gummy santas, and letting them set in the refrigerator for a few weeks. what was one the clear red mixes with the opaque white to become that lovely tender muscley colour and some of the opaque remains intact from santas beard, showing where the heart was torn from its surrounding structures.

Then there was the snow storm on Celtic Faire Weekend:
I drove Thalisha down to Angels Camp on this Friday, I couldn't be there that day because I had a meeting to attend (which actually happened without me.) My mom left a message on my machine telling me that I was grounded so that I wouldn't drive in the snow. HA. Too late Mother! I had already done it! And while I was doing so. I thought, "My mother wouldn't approve." so we took a picture of the "bad" thing we were doing. just so I could show it to her. That was then, and here it is now.

There you go mom. You can't ground me, Subaru is good, and we drive slow.
According to the photo file, that photo was taken at 7:59am (on March 11). It should be bright and sunny at that time of day, but there were millions of little white specks sucking all the light and color away from everything. It was great.

In other news: I am currently working on a video presentation to be shown at a trade show in Mexico presenting, among other things, an instant coffee product with added caffiene and taurine. I would like to try it. Just spoon it into the mouth in the morning and afternoon, and wash it from your mouth by slamming a red bull. BAM!

I really ought to give Clint a call. When does this happen?

We are thinking about moving, looking around...
