Coveting...no, let's use "inspired"

Most people upload photos along with posts on a blog, this is an important idea in keeping viewers/readers interested. I think I need to do this...(and so begins the search for a small camera that I can carry in my pocket for such occasions)

Weekend and more blender

So I have a few minutes for a new post:

This weekend was great, we had our church meal for thanksgiving, and david came over for it. Afterward we took a walk in the mines, which ended up being really cool because at the very top of the mountain it was beautiful and the trees were low, the wind passing through...just awesome. Check the images on http://davidsroadblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/day-545.html for what we saw!
I've been doing some 3d work at school in my spare time, I showed some of my seniors my work and they were impressed enough to download the program (blender) themselves. Here's my progress on the alien:
I've finally got the foot rig to work right...after much struggle! Now the toes bend automatically without having to re-pose them.

I haven't done the weight painting yet, the pose is the important thing in the pics:

Quick Update

So I haven't updated recently only because most of my spare time I've been working on some CG stuff for a cool movie hopefully I'll be doing with some of my buddies! Here's a picture of the progress I've made so far on the "alien"

Classes, School and the Like

This friday we have to do an opinion speech. Common issues are abortion, gay marriage, gun control and all relating topics. I'm going to do mine on Emigration, kind of middle of the road but I've got some good research and such and I'm looking forward to it.
I really need to get a camera so I can upload pictures to my blog but so far I haven't mustered up the folly to spend the money, haha...otherwise school is going very well, I'm learning quite a bit in our shop classes and practice. Most the other academics are fairly easy, today we have a personal finance test which shouldn't be hard. Our Motors and Controls class consisted of simple wiring for the first part of the semester but now we're going to get into some more industrial grade stuff. I've developed a bit of an interest in electrical work, I even managed to do some rewiring in my Jeep this past weekend that was succesful! It'd be grate to get some books from the library here as they contain a large amount of wealth on many things I'm interested in but free time hasn't peeked his way into my life much this week.

7 years

A friend recently told me that every person changes every 7 years. That's a very interesting observation, as if from years 1-7 our observations alter our assumptions, altering our beliefs and ideals. I'm sure each of us can look back 7 years ago and say we're a bit different since then, not necessarily in what we hold to be true, but rather in things like: Preferences (music, games, food etc.), Maturity, Goals, the list goes on. But it's a very interesting thought, it keeps all things new and fresh!
