  • Eli

    I saw Eli playing with toy guys today-Batman, Frodo, the Mask. I glimpsed him doing it in the front room, in our CA cottage. Probably the last time I’ll ever see it. There is nothing more magical than watching your son play with toy guys; the way their hands and fingers connect with the toy and animate it. I’ll write a book about it someday.

    Trip to Fordham

    At the LGA getting ready to fly back to Buffalo.

    Brian’s talk was great. I understood it well enough to get excited about the stuff he’s digging into.

    Brian Dunkle S.J. Giving the Loyola Chair Lecture at Fordham University

    The lecture

    Trip to botanical gardens

    The sausage slice at new moon pizza (might be best ever)

    Dinner at zero Otto or something with bri and dad. Got more pizza, wood fired, diavolo- pretty good.

  • Coda 2 review

    Just bought Coda 2. First impression:
    Apple store download took a while. Then I entered into some kind of OSX Lion spaces environment–weird, but maybe it’s because I don’t install stuff from the app store very often.
    I opened it, and was prompted to jion the mailing list, which I did. The second checkbox, allowing me to sync with iCloud, was greyed-out, and I couldn’t check it. Weird.
    I was prompted to import my transmit favorites. Yay! but I had to allow Coda to access my private credentials for each one. I have like 75 on this machine. So 75 clicks later, I finally imported all my transmit favorites. This could use some work, Panic.
    Looking forward to playing with it today!

  • Bang Bang You're Dead

    I want this book:

    The kids basically maul each other in a war. This would make such a better movie than “Where the Wild Things Are”.

    You truly are a digital artist when you understand what a point is. I still don’t.

  • Kerning animation concept

    A machine that pours water down a chute with a word at the bottom.

    A measuring cup directly underneath each gap between the pairs of letters.

    Each cup has the same amount of water in it after all the water has poured down and through the gaps.
