As you may have read on sheep-dot or the Hand Turkey Studios website, I recently taught again at Red Hat High in Raleigh, North Carolina. An article about it that I wrote for Blender Nation has just been published. I love the concept of this camp and I hope that I’ll be asked to continue [...]

In the last few days there have been releases in open source graphics software. First up, Ubuntu Studio. I did a short write-up on it for Blender Nation and I think I’m going to be trying it out very soon… either with VirtualBox or directly on one of my machines (if I can find myself [...]
So… 1600 miles and roughly 52 hours later (with only 7 of those hours devoted to sleeping [in my car]), I’m back here in front of my computer. First off.. the Libre Graphics Meeting was awesome. I was only able to be there for 1 day of that 3-day event, but I had [...]

Wheee!!!
