My kids and their friends from next door have been making stop motion animations this summer. I thought I’d post one of their recent efforts, “The Vomit Man”.

Interestingly enough, this is turning into a reading log more than a topical blog. Oh, well. I can’t say I’m in the least disappointed. When the seemingly endless days of February and March teaching are working against me, all I really want to do is spend my spare time reading.

I did read Dreamsbane of Tamalor last weekend, and I enjoyed it. I do find most of this type of fantasy to be derivative of Tolkien and, in the case of this little book, Dungeons and Dragons. But still, it was fun and interesting.

I’ve started reading Introducing Character Animation with Blender as I am currently teaching a course in 3D graphics to a group of High School students. Blender is very much my preferred tool for the course as it is open source, and supported by a massive, supportive community of artists, developers, educators and enthusiasts. I am delighted to see the growth in this project from its early days. I was first introduced to Blender back in 2002, and its growth has been spectacular. I’ll hopefully add more Blender content here as time passes.
