I feel like griping today. First of all, you know what irritates me to no end? Those idiots that come into your cube and ask you for help, and when you offer them help or tips they get all huffy and act like they know everything already. Um, if you have ego problems then don't bother coming and asking me for help, dumbass! Or is it that you can't stand the fact that a CHICK knows more than you? Not my fault you can't program your way out of a paper bag. RTFM like I did.

Aah that felt good. I have a gig tonight at Fishbonz. The weather has been sub 20's all week, and my butt is frozen. I hope people decide to make an appearance outside their igloos tonight but with the cold weather it's hard to say. I don't think there's really anything going on downtown tonight so maybe that leaves some hope for the south side. We'll see. It is a payday.

The rest of the weekend is left up to code code code, and hopefully throw some new artwork up on the site. I really need to organize it into some kind of portfolio, so maybe I'll get to that some. Other than that I plan on spending a good chunk of hours immersing myself in Maya 5 and see what bizarre 3D stuff I come up with off the top of my skull. I'm in a crotchety mood today. Must be because I got 8 hours sleep. More than 5 hours sleep a night and I'm evil. My CPU processes instructions better in low power mode.

Whoa, has it been a month since my last update? Oops sorry. I've been incredibly busy at work, and in the evenings I've been working furiously on Java, .NET, Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator, you name it.

It's not terribly exciting to exhibit my code samples here so I'll show you artwork instead :P

Maya is a 3D rendering program that I'm using to create 3D animated creatures. It's been a bear to learn, but I'm learning by videos, books, anything I can get my hands on or download :D I'll post some Maya animated 3D movies as I get a bit more confident with the tool.
