How may we darken your day?

Just fell across this excellent site if you like writing challenges http://www.confiction.org/

Just to let you know I am in the process of building this site, so its nearly there, got to sort out membership structure but if you ahve any ideas can you let me know as I am kind of struggling, but here is the link http://www.animationcollaborationnetwork.com

am going to be having a go at fixing up the panel pages for the realm tomorrow as I have a day off work so hope to get stuck in, so they still look a bit odd as I have to get to grips with the views and panels module

this is for the funny stuff of death

The Art of Death - Another short story I wrote, a couple of years back, I had a sequel somewhere but I lost it, I need to get hold of it because it was quite good! Either way, this shows a bit more interpersonal play and perhaps a bit less cheese than Act of War, hopefully it'll be good to enjoy.

Joanne was losing her sense of self, very slowly but surely. Given a lifetime of education which she slowly but surely failed to benefit from it was determined by some physicians she had a mental fault a lot more serious than a simple lack of concentration.

Act of War - A short story I wrote a few years back, figured it might be alright to put up for review on here, not among my best but hopefully my action description is sound enough, I'm working on such aspects of my writing style to improve upon my strengths, as an action packed story is where I feel most comfortable.

See the waiting till the end of the month when i get my first proper monthly salary for the first time in ages, is killing me, as its then I will be able to get Bruce one of the guys I work with to build me a new computer, to alienware specifications, although it wont have all the same casings it will have saved me a fortune and also it will have tonnes of memory and two hard drives, they say patience is a virtue, well i aint got any and its doing me nut it, there is so much I should be able to do when I get it,

Autodesk launches Mudbox 2009 digital sculpting and texture painting software.
Thursday, 07 August 2008

Autodesk has launched Mudbox 2009 for 3D modelers and texture artists working on entertainment and design projects. Mudbox combines an intuitive user interface with a powerful toolset for creating highly-detailed 3D models. Mudbox has already helped artists shape characters in blockbuster movies and games, including ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’, ‘The Mist’ and ‘Mass Effect’.

Nice to see some banter on these boards no matter how breif. Anyway since you were here I'll just speak my mind a little. First off good news bad news type thing. Disney has decided to start making animation traditionally and I noticed that this weekend Jetix showed a series of Disney films including Fox and Hound, Aristocats, Robin Hood, and Atlantis. I guess my favorite of these was Robin Hood although I am liking Atlantis more and more. If you didn't see the interview with animator Marlon West discussing it then nows a good time: http://www.awntv.com/videos/fmx-08-west

This scarybirds site has lots of different layers, even the group home pages can be worked on with CSS as well as the panel pages so once I am working on a page will post the link but I think I may start off with the Study Group Home page see if that works http://www.scarybirds.com/node/1725

This is the site I am working on to apply what I learn in CSS The intention is to create an open online open university as part of my Cultural Fusion Art as Philosophy series. This as an artwork is part of an Installation art concept demonstrating what is called Institutional Criticism, so this is my take on the fusion of this with Conceptual and Process art. Most importantly for me it is an example of what I am exploring, Source Art, which also intends to address real world issues rather than merely criticizing them. http://www.worldreverenceforlifeuniversity.com

I put this together a couple of years ago. The thunderbolt from God as foretold must have missed.....
