The Flat Earth Society

When you need a good laugh and a blunter logic (and bored with roysuryowatch.com) you should visit the Flat Earth Society. And don’t forget to check out their arguments why the earth isn’t round. I guarantee this will challenge your belief to a higher level.

But really, this website is hillarius. It says that they hired schoolteachers to spread their propaganda:

In the small town of Grass Roots, MO, one of our members has successfully infiltrated the public education system. By being hired on as a teacher in the district, he was able to gain a foothold that has allowed us to “replace” nearly every lower grade teacher in the entire town with loyal Flat Earthers. The students are now undergoing deprogramming measures and are expected to be released when they reach their mid-thirties.

Their target is not only innocent schoolchilds, but also not-so-innocent convicts at Winconsin state prison:

Over a period of several months, over half of the workers in the Wisconsin state prison system were “relocated”, their positions filled by our associates. The list of replacements includes 7 guards, 957 cafeteria workers, 3716 Pepsi machine repairmen and 14 members of the clergy. With our operatives strategically emplaced, the convicts and felons are being given a healthy dose of “pro-Flat Earth” propaganda.

ROTFLMAO!

The Importance of j/k

No I’am not talking about J.K. Rowling. So Potter fans out there should be dissapointed.

Yesterday, I almost had a big dispute with my fellow colleague. It was a long story (not that long actulally, but I’m not interested to go into details), but it started when I made a joke on my colleague in my company’s web forum without adding the extra j/k at the end of the sentence. Yes a simple j/k! The simple and highly ignored j/k!

If I use the dreaded j/k (which stands for ‘just kidding’, for computer illiterate out there), everything would be OK and my afternoon would be nicer. But no, I didnt use j/k!

Text-based communication is probably the least effective means of discussion. So everytime you joked about something on malinglist or internet forum, don’t assume that everybody knows you are joking and start putting j/ks as many as possible.

Example:

RS™ is the brightest guy when it comes to IT, Multimedia and Telematics….j/k

This is how I feel right now

Quoted from American Beauty:

There’s so much beauty in the world.

Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life…

Amazing quote dont you think?

Plotwise, the movie isn’t the best movie out there, but the idea this movie carries is amazing. And it has many great quotes too!

My First Car

I don’t normally model cars because I prefer to create organic stuff (ie. characters), but due to circumstances I have to model this car.

This car is based on BMW blueprint I found at jpracing.racerplanet.com. Modelled using the ‘ol editable poly and meshsmooth, this one took about 25 working hours to model. Still a work in progress, because some of the mesh is a little off and the details are lacking.

Critics and suggestions are welcome.

My head Job

Okay, there hast been any new entry lately. Iwas occupied with deadlines, teaching, study, etc. Not to mention that my sister, Dewi, had an accident. It was a hectic week. But, instead of writing a long excuse why I haven’t updated my blogs with new toughts and rants and all, I have something better for you all.

See, I haven’t done any head modelling in 3ds max for like months, but last night I was urged to create a new head model:




Mind you that I only spend like 6-8 hours on this model, so its not perfect. The ear is kinda off. The eyes too. Eyeball looks too simplictic. But in general I am pleased with the overall proportion. Maybe if my good mood for modelling lasts, I can add more details and making the texture maps. :)

Who knows. Critics and suggestions are welcome.
