Every week I mow the lawn at my nonna's house
with this old machine. Two years ago, I had it sharpend but it didn't
make it any easier. Last week, I added sewing machine oil. What a
difference, now it mows again.

How is it that I am the most high tech man I know and I am cutting with
this old machine. Nonna calls it old style. Sometimes, I like it
because its the only physical labor I do. It makes me feel strong is
some way.

I mean, I could high tech it and bring over some fancy, electrical,
cutters, but I won't, I need something to ground me

Today went well, I think everyone seemed interested in the cemetary idea and excited about 3D modeling.

Here is my test render from class.

Well, I am off to Nonna for some Lawn mowing, if the weather permits it. Hodown, I know you are here in town, contact me when you get a chance.

Starting this morning at 11, I will begin teaching a new class I created called DMA 386 - Modeling Physical Environments for Real-time. I am going to be teaching the students to identify important data when exploring an environment with the intention of recreating it digitally.



The physical location I have chosen is Forest Lawn Cemtetary which has a really lame website by the way. We will eb traveling there and measuring, taking phtos, grave rubbings, scans, sketches, etc. Then we will collect all the data and rebuild a specific site in 3D. It seems like it will be an exciting class to teach.

We got to see Brian again. Here he is
