As a beginning Blender user, I've struggled with the concepts but managed to produce some low-poly mesh bunting for #MardiGras in #SecondLife. The hardest thing right now is keeping materials and textures in the right order and remembering to assign green apples to green apples, and oranges to oranges. Currently alphabetical order matters with materials so it might be smart to rename any assigned textures in Blender in the same alphabetical order. Unfortunately, I am not that organized so it was a carnival of blunders until I got it sorted.

Connections - Today

Today and Yesterday and a couple of days after tomorrow

January 10, 2016 - By ginny

Today my husband David and I got together with my father-in-law Shel, and Shel’s lady-love Linda for lunch. We had dinner together last night at Bahama Breeze, because COUPON. And we’re having dinner with them Wednesday for the purpose of congratulating my niece Naomi on graduating (early) from high school. I’m not sure where we’re eating, but I bet a poo-kon will be produced at the end. Such an exciting life I lead! We eat out based on whichever of us has the best restaurant coupon! It’s not that we can’t afford this stuff; we count ourselves lucky on that…

Workaround for Last.fm: Universal Scrobbler

January 10, 2016 - By ginny

I listen to a LOT of music via Internet radio streams, and until August, I used to be able to put a nice list of "Listening" tracks on my various blogs. That was courtesy of Last.fm, which used to be the main place people could gather or "scrobble" their personal music libraries as they listened to iTunes or CDs on their computers or listened to radio stations online that provided the right kind of track medadata.

WaPo Gift Link: 10 Books To Read

The 10 books I’d like to read from the Washington Post. Definitely the Osman, not so much the Penny as I find her Three Pines series a bit too precious. I need entertainment that doesn’t make me want to repeat the mantra of the current era: “don’t panic.”

It’s possible we have ‘Elno to thank for the depressed (and depressing) turnout of Democratic voters for Harris. Or we wish him a hearty FOAD.

Well Played, Onion. Well Done, Sandy Hook Families

Some forgettable guy’s ass(ets) belong to The Onion and the Sandy Hook families he harassed. Now that’s justice.

The satirical news company plans to shutter Jones’ Infowars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.
