The Blender Foundation recently released the latest Blender. 2.53 beta is now feature complete. So I am making the jump to the new Blender and am now learning the new interface. Look for some new Blender renders by me soon. In the meantime, here are a few images created while testing a new technique I learned this week.

Well, it is Alpha 0, which means it isn’t feature complete and still has some bugs. I’ve been using the latest Blender for the last few days and the new UI is awesome. Look for some new 2.5 generated images from me soon.
* Note: If you need stability then please use Blender 2.49.

“Microsoft has warned that “major public disruption” would be caused if a court ruling forcing it to redesign Word is allowed to stand.” — PCPro

Two words Microsoft: OpenOffice. (or is that one word?) For those who don’t know, OpenOffice is a free suite of apps that are compatible with MS files. Word included. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and best of all, it is free!
The only “irreparable harm” would be to Microsoft itself.

My Smart Duck Reader software is now in the Bodega Store. It is an app store which features Mac apps. The Smart Duck Reader also comes in a PC version. So if you are slumming it, you can still try it out.
