OK, I'm not a huge fan of the whole Gundam thing, but few
series have produced so many finely detailed models.
I picked up a couple of Gundam Level 6 models on clearance from Amazon
for about $8/ea.
This is one of
them.
(Object in progress.)

In the lead up to Bush Jr's war, Heather and I chose to
express our displeasure with the decision to go to war against Iraq.
We exercised our right to free assembly and joined tens of thousands of
other citizens to publicly (and peacefully) express our opposition to
an unjustified
war. |

Personally, I
think the service
is overpriced. Cafepress.com handles the storefront, printing,
shipping,
& billing. But, I only end up making $5/item.

Lightning
1999: Here's a short compilation of images caught during a rare
lightning
storm in the fall of 1999. The images were caught with my TRV900
camcorder,
and saved out as JPEG images. I then compiled these into short QT
movies,
showing the best flashes.
There are two
versions:
Small
Size (320x240), 119KB
FullSize

My
Trip To Space Camp: Proving that 'losers really do win!', I was
surprised
to find out that I won a trip for two to Space Camp in Huntsville, AL
last
year.
The following
link will take
you to the group photos, and a 'mission patch' that I mocked up using
LightWave,
based on a design drawn by other members of our 'team.'

In
the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, a momentous discovery was recently
unearthed. A
unique tomb was found.
It is believed to
be the
single burial place of the (48?!?) sons of one of the greatest kings of
ancient Egypt: Rameses II.
"Many
have called the work in KV 5 one of the most exciting and important
archaeological
projects of the 20th century."
After attending a
speech
by the archeologist who made this discovery, I was inspired to model
the
interior in LightWave.
I made this Unreal
level as an experiment in my spare time. It maps out the interior, as
shown
on the KV5 web site.
If you own Unreal,
feel free to download this level and explore it. If you don't own Unreal
- go buy it! :^) (It is truly a beautiful 3D
game engine!)
