I made a game board for a real-world version of the I-phone game Cut the Rope. THEN, I put together this little video that looks kind of like you are playing the game. I drew the menu screen myself too. My favorite part of the video is the menu screen, which I hand-drew and then edited on the computer. It is similar to the one in the game but oriented horizontal instead of vertical. Then I have my crappy animation of a hand pushing the button. Maybe I will try animation again and a little better?</center><center><br />

It is a show where there are two hosts and two guests each week and the guests take turns making predictions about the future and the four of them discuss each prediction. Each episode starts with a prediction e-mailed in by a listener, and this week they read my e-mail. It was such an amusing prediction that they named the episode "Space Dragons" in my honor and made constant throw-back jokes to the subject of me e-mail. Frankly, I don't care if they are laughing at me or with me, it still amused me.<br />
<br />
They start reading my e-mail at about 2:05, had a throw-back just after 28:00, another just after 39:15, and another after 50:40.<br />

I think that a lot of people believe that if aliens come to Earth, that they will be advanced beings that have built technology that makes them capable of traveling vast distances in space. This is a rather human-centric view. I believe that the first aliens we encounter will actually be very technologically primitive and that they will just be creatures that are capable of surviving in space, in which their respiration is not dependent on oxygen, and that they will be gigantic space dragons!</span></i><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799408909724766300.post-60933622830741026352011-09-17T10:32:00.000-07:002011-09-17T10:32:14.544-07:00The Girls in Ambigrams<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just love ambigrams.

This has inspired me to try my hand at some graffiti style writing. I drew a couple others too, but these two turned out the best. I started my viewing with the movie <a href="http://www.banksyfilm.com/">Exit Through the Gift Shop</a>. It was by far the most interesting of the documentaries I watched. It was more focused on street art, and stencils. The others I watched were <a href="http://www.infamythemovie.com/">Infamy</a> and <a href="http://www.bombit-themovie.com/">Bomb It</a>, which were more of different takes on the history of graffiti.<br />

I may try doing some sort of street art inspired stencil next. Maybe something like the amazing work of <a href="http://www.banksy.co.uk/">Banksy</a>.<br />

For my students' science class they had to design and build a balloon-powered vehicle. I decided to make one myself and this is how it turned out. In the trial run it went about 6 meters. That was better than some of the student vehicles, but at least one went about 15 meters. The rules were that it had to be powered only by a nine-inch balloon, it had to be built from household items, and it had to have at least 3 wheels. If I were to make another one, I would try to make it as small and light as possible, but this one did okay.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799408909724766300.post-15720441967637552192011-02-26T19:46:00.000-08:002011-02-26T19:46:21.492-08:00Sudokubunny<center><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_Q6S5gunghd8/TWnIRb9TzYI/AAAAAAAAG5Y/h13fwuxOAvA/SudokuBunny.jpg" /><br />

Since my birthday is June 5th, I always have kind of considered 5 to be my lucky number. I have never noticed anything particularly lucky about it, but still it feels lucky to me. I sketched this out with pencil, inked it in with a pen, and then filled all the colors using GIMP.<br />

I drew these out on some Post-It notes. I amazed myself with how straight most of my lines ended up even though I did them freehand.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799408909724766300.post-70298787670959347922010-12-18T11:05:00.000-08:002010-12-18T11:05:05.638-08:00Walk or Run in the Rain<center><br />
For a couple years I have wondered about whether you get wetter by walking or running in the rain. I know the Mythbusters have attacked this question, but don't remember their conclusion. I decided to try to tackle the problem mathematically, and while I made some assumptions, I think my conclusion makes sense.<br />

Just a quick sketch I made from memory of a couple of cream soda cans. It was lightly drawn with pencil, so it didn't scan very well.<br />

Ever since I read Dan Brown's Angels & Demons in 2004(?) I have loved ambigrams. Ambigrams are illustrations of words that from a different perspective appear to be the same word or a different word. They can be made to read as a mirror image or as I have done using rotational symmetry. For each of these you can tilt your head 90 degrees left or right and each will read the same. My favorite part of these two ambigrams is the M in geometry. That M just turned out awesomely.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
