Good evening. I just looked at this tonight and I was amazed. Perhaps you are amazed also. Or perhaps you aren't, since you're here, aren't you? This picture says that people are actually reading this in large numbers. Looking at a few tables one click away from this image, it says that Google really likes my website. In fact, I'm so popular with google that they have swarmed my keenspace website with hits. The largest user for three months in a row have been Google bots. Three hundred hits in a month is excessive, but I don't mind. They have sent me 1 viewer in April, 8 viewers in May, and 2 viewers in July. What were they looking for? In July, someone was looking for "stegging". You remember stegging, right? In April, they were looking for "plugin cel-shading". Of course, I do a lot of cel-shading here. But I don't make plugins, sorry. In May, I had a doozy of misinfo out there: "directx8 draw sprite", "anarchy online account", "lith unwrap", "medium-poly resolution", "nuclear robot" (hahahaha), "onidzuka 85", and "pink fur bitmap". Oh man, that's funny as I can think. The draw sprite thing can be found at GameDev.net. Anarchy-Online account cannot be bought or sold here. Lith Unwrap has been converted into Ultimate Unwrap. Medium-poly models at high resolution can be found here from time to time. I don't do any nuclear robots, but I did write a rant about nuclear weaponry vs. giant robots. I have read a few Great Teacher Onidzuka and I wrote about them in the same rant as the nuclear robots, but not 85. The last one is a small mention that I gave to a pink fur bunny that is the marvel of modern pixel shaders. The wolfman, however, is a marvel of modern uselessness. I saw a really good vertex shadered grass the other day. It was very fast and looked fairly good. I think it'll be used in a game soon. Perhaps it already has. It's got a lot of really good uses (racecar driving, rpgs in suburbia or forests (kiddie games), lawnmowing sims). What it did was simply move the texture coordinates to right so that right underneath you was grass moving outward in every direction.
If you found this watch on your mousepad and not only was it functioning, but it told the correct time, you would wonder where the owner was without his/her watch, right? You wouldn't assume that the computer mouse suddenly collected dust in such a way to create a watch, right? This is another version of the watchmaker argument for the existence of God. Since life is such a perfect example of a machine, we can say that it is naive to assume that it was created from random occurance. In fact, science has this rule that if something is rediculously improbable, we can assume that it didn't happen. Aethiests are making the rediculously improbable claim that our computer mouse has gathered dust to make this watch (and made it tell time correctly to within a minute). It makes me wonder who they're trying to fool. But it's an interesting question since its very unanswered existence means that science lacks a lot of knowledge. That's good news for us scientists, because we want to find it out.
No video today, but instead, you get a kitty. "Neko, neko, wai!" One of these pictures is not like the others. Which is it? If you said the one on the bottom, you're only half correct. I was talking about the animation. You can clearly see that the one on the middle right has it's ears backwards. That's my big invention today and I'm happy with getting that. Kitties express their mood with their ears. If a kitty's ears are back and you're within sixty feet, you're in danger of getting your eyes torn out. I've seen it happen, so don't question me. Well, I guess I haven't seen it, but rather I have been the recipient of a kitty in kitty frisbee (my brother was playing, I wasn't, and I was seriously torn up). Kitties are good physics subjects, but should be kept in a sterile environment with padded walls during testing. They are great physicists, too seeing that they can accurately manipulate angular momentum conservation to land right side up when they drop from a height. It all started last night when I went on this crazy website called Caption Machine, or rather before that when I searched on Goggle for "masturbate kittens". Hehehe. That is because I found this cool picture and wondered where it came from. There's a picture of a cat running scared with two stuffed monster toys behind it. And the caption that goes with it says: "Every time you masturbate... God kills a kitten. (Please, think of the kittens.)" I think it's quite funny. The next best caption is: "Summamabitch! LORI! Your friggin brownies are chasing the cat again!" So this is the result. The lesson today is to model even if you don't want to model a human. I tried to do a cat made of a box base, but it didn't work. So I worked with a cylinder. I had about 10 stacks and 6 slices. It worked pretty well. I do have one tip to give you, the Jesus Christ pose is the easiest to do because it's flat. This cat was very rough to do because I had to hide one leg while I flipped edges on the other. You don't wanna know.
Now this is cool. Check out this video with audio. Turn on your speakers, because it's got sound. It's only 86 kB, so there's no worry about waiting an hour for a 2 second video. Those buttons below it actually do what they say. Tt requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 7. If you don't meet the requirements, click here for the movie in your favorite avi viewer. It's in DivX 5.02 format, as I hope you already know. Click here for the codec.
