I’m bringing back my podcast.

This one may qualify for the “oversharing” descriptor that I put to describe my blog…

Sometimes you have a great idea… that only works for you.

I think it’s time to have fewer silos in my life…

I’ve started something new.

I did Inktober again!

Social media isn’t social any more.

In far too many words, I describe how I designed myself a travel tattoo… in the nerdiest way possible.

It’s called Tablescraps and it’s here to help published authors monitor their book stats.

Here we go, I’ve got some post-apocalyptic technofantasy for you right here.

Let’s dispell with the myth that creative folks aren’t technical.

Look out horizon… here we come!

Getting that awesome Blendery juice into production pipelines.

I won’t go so far as to say that this is a portfolio, but it is a smattering of visual art that I’ve created over the years. 3D Sculpts and Stuff # I like working in 3D.

I really enjoy sharing knowledge.

I’m not a programmer.

In case I haven’t done a great job of showing it, I’m kind of a goofball.

Everyone has their dark side.

M.J.

I found a free wooden table sitting on the side of the road while I was walking my dog.

The latest edition of Blender For Dummies has officially been released…

I’ve been carving a lot more, both with the bent wood rings that I make, but also in general.

A few folks have suggested make the “It’s Vertex Not Vertice” shirt available for sale.

I’ve gotten a bit of feedback on the previous two parts in this series.

Yup.

You’re doing creative work and you’re interested in actually making a buck or two off of it.

So I’ve found myself another fun and interesting distraction.

So here’s the premise: For scenes that take around a minute or less to render, performance is actually worse if you render on all of the cards with a single instance of Blender.

When doing my work, sometimes I need to get information out of a .blend file.

I got myself good and distracted from my regular project work and ended up writing the start of a little script that I’m calling JungleBook.

OK, OK… I know that I haven’t posted anything new here since May.

So in the midst of my indie writing shenanigans, the 3rd edition of Blender For Dummies is officially out and in the wild as of today!

One of the rewards for my Kickstarter campaign is a daily tear-off calendar, with a lie from Definitely True: Year One on each page of the calendar.

Well… It’s started…

Assuming all of the approvals go through and there are no hiccups, then within the next 24 hours, I’m going to be launching my first ever Kickstarter campaign…

So this has been circulating the interwebbernets today a bit and it got me thinking.

You may or may not have noticed that I have a little graphic to accompany my daily lies (now being shared over on Definitely True).

Wherein I try to figure out what version control system is best suited for my needs on my personal projects.
