Whew... it's been almost 7 months since my last visit. I only popped in to clear my message box of only 41 (since I hardly have any friends even in the real world). I've been studying for my Diploma of Interactive Digital Media. It's all about 3D modeling, texturing, 2D graphics, ActionScript, JavaScript (and Java for mobile devices) programming, coding, coding and more coding and a lot of game design. I find it all utterly boring from a scholastic perspective. I'd much rather be working in the field and showing people my true mettle, not the mundane workshops that I have to fulfill my assessments. I mean, even novice 12 year-old schoolies can make some of the things required of me, but I can do way better. I just need to land me a prospective eye and ear only for a moment and I'm sure I will entrance someone with what I can do. Yes, I know... don't bother pointing out that I lack modesty, but I have a family to support and bills to pay and I've never been so broke and in debt for over 20 years.
I still have a few months of studies before my final assessments are handed in and I have a few minor teaching jobs to take on before the end of the year, but I will stick it out and get that foor in the door where I want to teach at a diploma level with a fine institute (and pay to boot). If I find that I have little time for this place, I may just swing by seldom, but unless I have no time at all, I don't plan on leaving here.

Touching Base
It's been a while since I've been in to check on things, to say nothing about submitting anything. I've decided to pop in more often and maybe make a few 3D stereograms for a change. I've seen quite a few really good ones around and I thought it might be fun to do. I might make a stereogram version of every 3D scene I create from now on as an added bonus.
Who knows, I might even make an attempt at making stereogram animations. My previous Wormhole was a fun task. Imagine what it would look like if I made a wide, split-screen video, added debris and dust... I believe I have even the conversion tools to make a real 3D video which use the glass
Apple Vs Nokia
Being such a techno boffin, I decided to go and get myself an Apple iPhone 16 gig 3GS from the same provider I've been with for over 10 years. What do I think of it? I will just say this... I've had it a total of 5 days and I changed providers based on the lack of service and my utter hatred of the iPhone itself. I mean, I thought it was going to be really cool, cos I like listening to music on my phone and the screen is nice and big, but I hated the PC-iTunes interaction. Often I would lose stuff when I try to sync other media to the iPhone. As for the phone itself, I found it cumbersome to carry. It's fairly thin, but it's wide and long. Pl
Random update
Just thought I would put something here to avoid viewing my last journal entry... that is about the death of Michael Jackson. I wrote it on the very hour I heard he died, but there seems to be so much talk about it and much about a conspiracy or something that I figured I didn't want to be just another news basher.
Anyway... I've still hardly submitted anything for months because I've been too busy with other projects. I am doing a Flash animation at the moment, or rather cleaning up and tweaking an existing one for a friend who apparently is attempting to sell it up to Mushroom Pictures as a trailer for upcoming animated adventures of an Au
On Michael Jackson
How can I not put something in my journal about Michael Jackson? I'm still in shock and disbelief about his untimely death and I'm having a hard time with it. It was just the same when other great people died in my lifetime...
When Bruce Lee died, all I remember was the look of sadness on my father's face, I think I was about 6 or 7 at the time and I knew of Bruce as the man, but more so of his movies. A few years later, Elvis died and shook the world. I gradually learned to accept that all good things end at some stage and nobody can really control it.
It got a little easier to hear of good people passing away as I grew up, including famil
