I've started a new project, making a 3d lizard walk up a tracked wall on a video clip. See a rough playblast (divx)

Edit: It now also has its own project page.

Being sick of cell phone companies, I signed up with Vonage today. The new number is 512-828-7363 indeed, I finally have an Austin area code.

I haven't had a chance to plug a phone into it and test it out yet, so I can't comment on the quality. However,...

This old machine needs to be replaced. I'll be replacing it with an Athlon 64 system, with these components.

Affording it, however, is the tricky part.
