splines

a couple months ago i needed to look up some spline equations and was disappointed to find there wasn't any page on the internet with just a nice list of the most common spline equations for graphics. so i wound up making one of my own complete with interactive flash graphics to play with. i forgot to ever post about it here though so i'm doing that now. enjoy: common spline equations for graphics! :)

help me name my hamster!

this weekend i got a pet hamster for my cat scratchy! he’s a super fat black and white dwarf hamster who loves exploring and eating pie. i haven’t given him a name yet so you should help me by leaving a comment with your suggestion. :) some names i’m considering are: domino, doob, itchy, lump, modo, tweak, twitchy, and wiki.

blockparty + nvision

looks like 2008 is going to be a great year for the north american demoscene! :)

panamericans unite!

in an epic alliance, the northern dragons and XPLSV worked together to create the winning entry to the textmode demo competition 10: clockwerk! it was very special for me for this demo to be well received because it's the first time i had a chance to collaborate with the dragons since meeting them at blockparty 2007. as it turned out guybrush lives not far from me so we got together to talk demo stuff a couple times then the opportunity to collaborate on the TMDC entry came up. it was fun to meet up at the office on the weekend and a couple nights after work right before the deadline. kirill who helped on conciousness causes collapse and my fire skull also came in to help with some modelling, blacklight worked remotely talking to us over instant messenger, and of course cerror did the awesome music.

korea trip

i recently spent a week in the mecca of online gaming - seoul, south korea. it was awesome! :) i toured the NCsoft mothership, attended G* 2007, attended a televised starcraft tournament, visited the demilitarized zone between north and south korea, and ate lots of CRAZY food. it was a really great trip and i hope to visit korea again sometime. i finally got a camera so i took some pictures...
