I am not a gamer, but I have a fascination with gaming that has extended into my professional life (I teach art). Of all games, Warhammer 40k I find the most compelling. It’s lore is as deep as the ocean, and then some. It is not unlike the

Good question. Shortly after that experience I became a vegetarian and stayed one for many years (with many small relapses). Around five years ago I rescinded, mostly because of health issues. Also... it is very difficult to be vegetarian w

My memory is hazy on this. I remember the pig being hung upside down, and this would have been a clear cue that something was going to happen. However, this may have been after it was killed. The reason it was hung was to drain the blood. R

Agreed. I have not worked with animals for much of my life, but recognize an animal that knows when it’s time is up. For my experience, there is something very dignified about such cases.

Could not agree more. I was young (18) and was easily impressed by fatuous reasoning. These people would feed the farm animals, profit by their sale, yet not eat or kill them. Weak reasoning at best, hypocrisy at worst.

I used to work on a farm run by vegetarians. As the only meat eater, they all thought it should be my job to do the dirty deed when any animal required killing. One thing I learned pretty quickly was that no animal wants to die. Killing the

Semi related... the 3d sculpting software ZBrush used to have interactive demos within the software powered by its own scripting language. Very helpful. Placed the help exactly where it was needed.

This is an example of something commonly called a drawing machine, of which the camera obscura is an other example. He certainly was not the last and likely not the first. What made him stand out was that he was so open about his tricks of

As the article mistakes... Web OS was the classic example of a skunk works project. A very small amount of people working in near isolation, and answerable only to senior managers. To any company in trouble, and in need of innovation, this

I think the rot set in the moment they partners with larger companies in order to make their products. Nowadays, with Kickstarter and cheap Chinese manufacturing, they could have gone it alone, and not have had to compromise on their vision

Yes I remember this. If I ever taught the course again I would add it. Perhaps also correct the typos :) Jeffrey Hawkins, the inventor of the palm, has a bit of a cult following almost designers. Far more respected that Johny ‘Dieter Rams’

If you don’t exercise, I am impressed. Actually, I can do it to. But this is because I have Ehlers Danlos syndrom (hyper mobility). This guy I am referring to would actually adopt the pose when he was relaxing. It was as natural to him as f

A walk or a run is precisely what I recommend to my design students. Proponents of this strategy include George Turing, the philosopher Jeremy Bentham, the writer Jonathan Swift and the artist Joan Mirò. Ref: Currey, M. 2013, Daily Rituals

To me this missive reads as a response to some specific questions. It would have been nice to know what those questions were. As an art teacher, I would not dream of writing something like this to a former student. It seems well-meant, but

Can confirm. When I was a child, I lived in an old Elizabethan building called Sexeys’s Hospital, founded by Lord Sexey.

We moved away from the Blender keymapping. Use instead the 3rd party 'proper' keymap. Very compatible with keymaps of other software. The default Blender keymap is insanely quirky, and as you point out, inconsistent.

My first run in with Autodesk was when we were looking to buy compositing software to replace our aging Shake. Around 10 representatives from Autodesk came to our school to pitch Flame as a solution. It was clear that none of them knew the
