Moving is a pain
Moving is really annoying. Besides the actual physical move, there is all the adress changes and crap. When I called adelphia, the first woman told me my house didn't exist. It was annoying because she was really emphatic about it. When I called back the next agent found it right away, argh!

I was surfing around looking to invite new people for the site when I found this site about reforming local government. May be something worth checking out.

Luggage Fiasco for Terry's Sister Alex
The Buffalo airport is so low budget and crappy. I don't care what kind of holiday excuses they have, the luggage situation was totally out of control. Look at these pictures. It could have been a thieves hayday.

This is Alex, (e:terry) 's sister from his home town of Las Vegas.

Oh the irony of brandnames
I am redoing all of my syllabi to use Maya instead of Cinema 4D over break because Canisius is switching. Maya is the recognized brandname 3D application in the US. So we are switching.

Ironically, Computer Arts magazine just rated Cinema 4D 9 higher.

CINEMA 4D wins heavyweight clash in Computer Arts!
What a fight night it was when the Big Five 3D apps squared up against each other in a major group test.
    Computer Arts, the world's best-selling creative magazine, pitted the top five 3D animation products against each other.

In the blue corner was CINEMA 4D. In the red corner, Maya 6.0, SoftImage XSI 4.2, LightWave 8.0 and 3ds max 7.

The knockout punch proved to be CINEMA 4D's unbeatable combo of power and ease of use. Computer Arts declared CINEMA 4D the undisputed heavyweight king of 3D animation apps!

Computer Arts said:

"CINEMA 4D wins this group test because it has the most to offer for the widest range of 3D work. It's as capable an architectural visualiser as a character animation tool.

"(CINEMA 4D is) an excellent all-purpose 3D system that can tackle most 3D scenarios without making you jump through hoops ... consistently strong across the board.

"Overall, CINEMA 4D R9 combines ease of use with powerful features and an elegant workspace."
