After watching all of Project Runway Season 4 in ten days while also learning about the mathematical structure of plants for the video game project, I really want to design a set of clothes with the shapes and patterns inspired by the Fibonacci sequence. I've broken out the paints and will try and figure out how to scan if I come up with anything ( Read more... ) -

I've still been playing around with video game stuff in some of my spare time, and am close to being able to generate 3d game terrain using actual topographical data of the United States. Or anywhere else, but the U.S. government website has free data of excellent quality and most other places don't. I'm very impressed with the level of detail ( Read more... ) -

If any of you have an interest in online game development, I'd highly recommend it - it automatically handles data saving, server crashes, multithreading, distributing the server over multiple machines, and people logging in ( Read more... ) -

I talked a little too much on some questions, but overall it was great and I got a good vibe from the place. Let's see if it comes to anything.

Writer's Block: Set the Scene
Huge underwater pits. There's a spring in Florida I love that is basically an enormous pit (I think the biggest one to have a spring over it in the US, but I'm not certain) with a shallower section roped off for swimming. The shallow section is probably thirty or forty feet at the deepest and has friendly fish that let you hang out with them if ( Read more... )
