Today is my sister-in-law Arwen's birthday. She turns 30 today!
Today is my sister Jodie's birthday. Happy birthday Jodie!
Today is my mom's birthday. I don't think she reads my blog, but just in case—happy birthday, mom!
Today is my sister-in-law Tess's birthday. It's also her son Trevor's birthday. Happy birthday, guys!
The game Munchkin turned eight years old today. In two more years it'll win!
Yesterday was my niece Scarlet's birthday. I wanted to go to Portland for the party but just couldn't make it.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of.
Happy Birthday, John!
My youngest sister Betsy just had her second baby. Zoe Gabriella was born about 20 minutes ago, weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 21 inches long. She has lots of light hair. Sounds like she looks like her mom and her grandma.
I think this is the 8th niece/nephew of mine. If you count step-brothers and sisters it's 12 or so. I'm starting to have a hard time keeping track…
It's a good Firefly-themed name, though I doubt it was intentional.
Are you tired of all those pictures of fuzzy kittens and bad spelling? Take a break and visit Яolcats. From Eastern Bloc nations straight to your kitteh-loving heart.
Well, me and my wife. It's been four years today. Yes, I got married somewhat later than normal. No, we've still never had an argument. Yes, she's out of town. Hey, maybe that's why we haven't argued lately…
Today is my oldest younger brother's birthday. Have a good one, Jared!
Today is my three dozenth birthday. Insert lots of jolly, cheery phrases here. Last night we went to Red Robin with my dad and stepmom (I had a blackened chicken caesar salad, it was tasty!). Tonight we're going to have make-it-yourself pitas, and tomorrow we just may slip out to Brix for another Kobe Beef hamburger. Mmmm, hamburger.
Today is my cow-orker Jeff's birthday. It is also Laura's son Joar's birthday, too. Happy birthday!
Today I had a cow-orker create a chamfered rectangle in 3DS Max (it's extremely simple, the chamfered box is a primitive object with its own button) and save it as a .obj file.
I wrote some code to import the format and display that instead of the simple cube that I hand-coded to get started. Anyway, the new object looks awesome—way better than the perfectly square edges of the old model. Enough chatting, see for yourself:

Old model: 12 vertices, 10 faces
New model: 104 vertices, 204 faces
