New(ish)

25Nov09

 
Website update:
www.icecalibre.com is slightly newer.
Even more minimalist I’m still not sure it’s clean enough. Opinions on that drop shadow around the box?
Same old flickr feed and free gallery.
In other news, while not implemented, I did purchase a copy of monoslideshow so perhaps I’ll get that up soon. It looks promising. I need more time.
Also, the contact form [...]


iPod

25Nov09

Well, I was having some trouble and then fixed it so I might as well document it for future reference.
The problem: I’m running Windows 7 and my ipod touch 2gen won’t sync with itunes.
My hardware: Asus P7P55D motherboard with Intel i7 processor. USB is based directly off the motherboard.
Symptoms: I could plug in my ipod [...]

Click for full version of crop:
Certainly not designed as a detailed model it’s pretty much the 3D version of a doodle / sketch.
Wipeout was a sort of inspiration, that low flying fast ship idea. Probably only one person per ship, piloting.
Total time from scratch to render: probably about an hour.
Blender 3D and Bunkspeed Hypershot.


I’m back

24Oct09

After an extended period of being out and about with my camera I’m coming back around to the computer side of things and that includes blogging. So, I’m back.
In the recent months I’ve done a lot. Like, a whole lot. And I’ll catch up with the following posts, in more or less chronological order.
So, just [...]


T1i

22Jun09

How could I have forgotten?
Goodness, I bought it like, almost a whole month ago.
Yes, that’s right. I sold my Rebel XS and bought the brand new Rebel T1i (500D) which gives me all my former Rebel goodness + full 1080p HD video!
Among the other favorite features, I’m also really happy about the 12 800 ISO, [...]


Website semi-launch:
After roughly 7 versions, the clean, minimalist IceCalibre.com is staying, at least for a while.
Of course, it will continue to evolve as I see fit, but I think I like the grey, clean styles.
The top title banner with my name is kind of ugly, however, any suggestions?

New project:
Do you have a face?
Can you say your own name?
Do you own a camera of any kind that can take short video?
Then you qualify!
In the inspiration of the stop motion beatbox and Potter Puppet Pals we’re going to make our own.
What you have to do:
Make a small, few second clip of your face saying [...]


Fresh Start

17Jun09

So kids, let’s get to it.
Basically, I’m overhauling the entire system.
Instead of the labourous process of posting the photos to the blog, I am going to simply use flickr and link.
The blog, instead will be used for updates and *new* group projects.
That’s right. I’m going to have projects that require user imput to shape.
I have [...]


Website.

09Mar09

So guys, for anyone still around…
 
As you know, I have not updated this blog in forever. And even when I did, it was largely outdated photography that followed a longer gap anyway.
Which means I am throwing in the proverbial towel with the blog scene and making it official.
I’m leaving this site up as long as [...]

Who doesn’t love food?
Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. Nearly a month and a half later, I’m photo-blogging it. Woah.
 
As a completely random side note, Chrome’s spell check works when I’m captioning pictures, but not when I’m actually blogging. Wierd.
