Odds, Ends and Ellipses ...

No comment...
It's been an interesting couple of weeks with most of it work related. Currently, I can't really talk about most of my work which makes it sort of frustrating talking with friends and family. I like cloak and dagger as much as the next guy but this is getting a little old, for me anyway. Good things are happening and hopefully by the end of April I can once again talk about what I've been working on and what direction my work may be taking next! Stay tuned.

The Mouse Tax...
One thing is for sure, and this I CAN talk about, first week in April, Thomas and I are on vacation. It's time for our annual round-the-clock Pirates of the Carribean ride marathon down at the House-o-Mouse! Broadband permitting, expect my first video blog in long time with some special guest stars!

We Have a Piper Down...
For St. Patty's Day, I had dinner with friend's at our local Applebee's and then headed south to the Fiddler's Hearth in South Bend. I had a great time there mixing and mingling with the great crowd that gathered there. Great music! I'll be posting some interesting music done on the pipes that I bore witness too. You just have to hear it to believe it!

SketchUp and Mustard...
I now own a copy of SketchUp. I've discovered it's great animation/walkthrough video export feature. This has become an incredible innovation tool for me at work. It's amazing at how fast I've been able to create and capture visual design and ideas using this tool. I'm working on building up a usable component libray while discovering all the .3DS files already available! Drawing hasn't been this much fun since Mrs. Jones 6th grade art class! Speaking of design, I'm reading through The Design Of Everyday Things by Donald Norman. So far, so good. Full review at books end.
