American Airboat

I gave in and bought an American Airboat for $20. I figured that it really suited my nationalist patriotism and it picks up all the ladies

I am convinced

No art is about the medium or asthetic but about your response. While at the Rough and Ready thing at Fusion, I thought I was losing sight with the artists vision and then I realized whatever visions I was having was the artists vision.

Virtuality and Dreams

Recently, I have noticed a side effect of virtual worlds is really vivid dreaming. It is perhaps an important aspect of the experience that is often overlooked.

I keep having these dreams of the dune buggy I designed for my Avatar "apfeljung" in

that is so convinceing that I wake up believing I'm having an accident. I even visit my virtual house in my dreams. This cycle is often reversed in that my modeling is inspired from my dreams, which to me, demonstrates that this medium is allowing me to share my dream space with others by adding "a little electricity."

I added some links to my Canisius Site

Honestly, I hate the Canisius Site

because I have no PHP or mySQL, which makes it really boring. But I have decided that by adding my links there, I will be able to gain more status on google.

Nonna Linda

I finally put up a little color enhanced online photo almbum of my great grandmother

I scanned the image at my Nonnas house a couple months back using the powerbook before it died. I bet my Nonna Linda could hav enever even considered being on the internet. Its kinda weird to think about where I might be at someday.

Myron Krueger

Missing Image ;(

I have whipped up a presentation about
one of the forefathers of Virtual Reality for my Interactive Environments class. I thought maybe someone els eout there would enjoy it. Here is a direct link to the 3D

. It would actually be all black but i had to add a bit of specular to make it so that you could see the contours of the model.

Update on the homefront 2

First of all it is Terry's 24th birthday which makes me feel really old. Happy birthday T. I didn't get him anything because he refuses to let me spend our money since the financial crisis otherwise known as 2003. We are having a party though at the old 567 so stop by tonight my friends if you read this which you won't. i don't even know why I pretend that anyone even believes in elmwoodstrip anymore.

So on the computer front, I decided I am going to start updating this site at some point soon. I am just super busy with grad school reserach at this point. I finally got aproval for the second life class I always wanted to teach bringing VR together with education on a web level. My students are pretty cool this semester. The best part is they all have home computers for the first time. That definately says either somehting about the current omnipresence of technology or I have a group of serious computer dorks. Could be either way but definately seems like a promising group.

Right now I am locked up in a lab at UB reading aboout the development of Virtual reality for this presentation I have to give next Wednesday. I am kinda freaked out becaus eof the time constraint. I have to give 1 45 Minute presnetaion but I guess thats not a big deal considering I teach a three hour course on Tuesday nights and God knwos I like to talk. Well, I must get back to work... I am going to write more often I hope but first I have to find to update the code to do what I want it to. We will see. I might even go back to the dtabase oulling xml files instead of having all the entires in the database itself.
