Hands Up

I got really carried away scanning my hand. I miss being able to do fun projects like this. I need a break from the sameness.

Do you like the blue or green better. Send me an email f you care. I am thinking of using this from an elmwoodstrip flyer.

My email was hijacked by a Dutch Woman

Check out this communication between me and some random woman who stole my email address. If any of you want to spam, feel free its fun. anne@tm.tno.nl

Here is her site:

I have to apologize for abusing your email adress, since I just sent Paul Moore an email "from you". I will not do that again, I just wanted to return the joke.

Sorry for troubling you (last time).
Anne

Robot Despot

I have always wanted to be a robot from the moment I met robbie, my first robot toy through the sweat-dripping 20-hour, paper chomping, jaw-grinding, "I wanna live my life like a rave machine" moments of my teen years.

Now I want to be a robot even more. Its like an obsession with productivity and accomplishment cycles that drive me. Unfortunately, they drive me to a limit to a limit. The limit of being human and I want out now. I want to run like packman through endless mazes, never tired and constantly getting new energy dots.

Jennifer's Wedding

Today I went to Jennifer's Wedding, it was really nice - at the Roycroft Inn. I got to see people I have not spoken with in a long time. It really seems quite unreasonable that I am so busy as to have to put family on hold.

This server/style update was such a pain in the ass. I have made it that in the future it will be easier to adapt the site by better notating my code and modulating everything.

New Features Needed

It is almost time to start adding new features. I am looking for other artists interested in displaying their artwork, poetry, prose, and sound/video projects. I have one more presentation at UB and then the rest of the semester is projects, so hopefully you will see some results.

Life is starting to eat me

I am so stressed out. I just found out the the independeent study I requested at the beginning of the semester, and never heard back on, was excepted. I found this out while registrering for next semster. I looked at my schedule and it said I am enrolled in 16 credit hours. Imagine how distressing this is having to complete a semester's ammount of work in a month. I seriously feel like I am going to puke.

Anyways, so I asked at my job to see why the situation with becomming full time is next year and they said there will be a position but that they have to conduct a national search. This is expected but it makes me crazy considereing how I have alterned my life continuously for the possibility of a job that I am techincally highly qualified for.

It also means I have to complete 13 credits plus my thesis in one semester. I gues it sounds possible but I am also teahcing two full courses and an independent study in addition to this.

I think if I did not get the job in the end I would be quite devastated. Not because I couldn't find another job, as I am really knowledgeable and skilled in my field but that I spent a year living on the edge of being human in order to jump through the hoops required for it. I would feel like they stole a year of my life.

Moreover, I am beginning to physically alter from 20 hour days. My skin tone has changed, I am in near constant pain from sitting and I don't really smile anymore. Mayeb I should just hold off and not care about the job and stretch school out.

STL file Madness for Jaime G's Crab

Sorry it took so long to get you the STL files. Our class only meets once a week so I had to wait until I saw the students in order to request a test file. Then I had to adjust the file to make it to correct some inconsistencies.

The renders of the file are below. The

is non-colored. I didn't think the dimensions printer could do color. I wasnt sure about the sizing so I left it up to you. Just scale proportionally till it fits. We saw on the Dimensions video that the Catalyst software can do this.

If not please feel free to email me and I will send you a resized copy ASAP. Thanks for your time.

Well where have I been

I have been extremely busy catching up with installing linux for my VR art prject. It has been an insane tedious process. I finally got the wireless to work which was seriously a miracle in itself. It took about 4 days of non stop tinkering. So finally I am untethered and awaiting the new hard drive to make the switch complete.

I also got a chance to visit Nonna. She seems to be doing good but her legs are really hurting her. While there I got lots of pictures from the old family albums and scanned them.

i HATE sChOOL

This is my post from Suse Linux. The site looks nice from here except for the color bar in the update section. Otherwise I would say it looks nicer than on Windows or Mac. So I am stressing out so much. I have decided I hate VR. And not virtually, I really hate it to the point it makes me sick. I find it to be a time consuming piece of crap for rich white people to contemplate what relaity is. I really have no interest in adding to the noise of it.

To make it worse the only way to export my models is with another proprietary software plugin costs like $600. I have no interest anymore as I am fully satisified with 3D on a 2D interface. At least untill VR is truly more immersive. Stereoscopics just isn't enough for me to find it compelling. But now I am stuck for the semester and have to make something of it. Ihave tried to justify a socially meaningful piece but it is quite ridiculous. Everything is either already done or far to pretentious or menaingless to warrant my time. I was trying to think of something along the lines of freign language aquisition with VR but why not just visit the place and the people in real life or in a book. So then I thought well a room for translation. But then video phone is better.

And then I though dance hall. It would be great a place to dance with people from afar in a fantastical way but then I realized how contrived it is to use the interface and that I cannot detect full body movemnet which makes it lame. Who wants to dance with one hand.
