Thirteen Anomalies

Here are thirteen things in science that do not make sense but are (apparently) true. I’m still not convinced about a few of them, like cold fusion and holistics. It’s an interesting read nonetheless.

Interview with the Salt Lake Tribune

The other day I received an email asking for an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune. The reporter wanted to know more about my site and what I thought about it. I sent in my answers via email but I haven’t heard if this ever went to print yet. If you read this article and came to this site as a result please leave a comment. I’m interested to know what the article said.

3D Animation

Here is a quick look at a project I’m working on for my character animation class. (400k embedded quicktime)

Star Wars Episode III Trailer

If you missed the OC on Thursday night because you were in a MoCap lab or out eating pre-birthday sushi, then you probably missed the new Star Wars Episode III trailer. Luckily for you, Jason Kottke has the link.

I have to admit it does ‘look’ pretty cool.

When you are done there, you can also check out this neat Legend of Zelda trailer.

Hacking Google Print

Kuro5shin writes about some software he came up with that exploits Google’s book browsing service.

Many people are curious about the inner workings of Google, but they are mostly interested in keeping it a secret. So, any information we can glean comes from “black box” analysis. Recently, I wrote a short article that explains how I wrote some simple code that can instantly create PDFs of entire books from Google Print.

Drawn

I found a new blog about drawing, illustration, and art called Drawn! that looks pretty sweet. It’s still new, but so far the posts include (among others) links to Vintage magazine art, a collection of Batman logos from the past, and even some 3D animation from Blur. I love it; I’m adding the link to my sidebar.

Drawn! is a collaborative weblog for illustrators, artists, cartoonists, and anyone who likes to draw. Visit us daily for a dose of links and creative inspiration.

Another Extention

I just installed another great extention for Firefox. It’s called Sage.

Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t.
