Better Bend Than Break
Another Papervision3D demo, this time using VectorVision and the AS3Dmod libraries to manipulate a vector image. Source code is available.
Arrive
Hmm, I need to update this blog more.
Well I just finished a little interactive demo using Actionscript 3, Papervision3D, and some models I created in Maya. I used a song by Ehma who in his infinite wisdom released the music on Jamendo. I suggest you to check it out, it’s nice!
One PaperKing to Rule Them All
The Papervision3D guys are running a nice little contest for the title of “PaperKing3D”. I thought this would be good chance to show an example of some of the recent stuff I’ve been working on. Here’s the demo, and here’s the source code.
Read on for more detail about the code and some of the inspiration.

A Few Post-Panel Thoughts on Web Fonts
There was a lively panel discussion at TypeCon 2008 on the issue of embedded fonts on the web [an overview can be found here]. A pretty controversial subject because there are 2 problems that need to be solved — the web designer’s desire to use typography, and the type designer’s desire to be paid for their work.

Website Update
The main page has been updated — click around, break things, and please send me any errors you find.
There has been a “temporary” page up for the past week in a mad rush to have something done by TypeCon2008. It was functional and highlighted some of the skills I’m trying to showcase. But now that I’ve had another week I’ve reworked the design and interactive code which I think makes it a bit more interesting. It’s definitely a bit hard on the ole’ cpu but I’ve tried to optimize where possible, and really it’s not a site that’s designed to be accessible to everyone on every browser.
I’m going to be adding new stuff to the “portfolio” as I get I can. It’s mostly photography and motion videos at this point but more Flash stuff is in the works. Questions, comments, work? Holla.
