Ring Of Fire
Written on 4 January 2009 by NebsApparently this flaming hole was created when a gas drilling rig caused a collapse while drilling. It was decided that the gas leaking out would be an environmental hazard so it was set alight. That was 1971, and it has been burning ever since.

Written on 1 January 2009 by NebsFor awhile now I have been driving around on studded snowtires. I was about to swap them out for my standard tires when the weather hit here. I went from feeling like a jackass to being the only person prepared to drive around. Awesome! It has been mentioned by many people before but… Holey crap these people CANNOT drive around here. It’s terrible.

Greek Riots
Written on 18 December 2008 by NebsThese are some pretty amazing photos. It’s kind of disgusting to me that people hide behind the tragedy and use it as an excuse to burn some innocent persons car or house or business. They started as a group of mourners and it ends as a group of hooligans.
Ooooh Pretty Colors

Maya 8.5 Geforce 280 Issues
Written on 11 December 2008 by NebsI was having some major display issues in Maya 8.5 after I purchased a Geforce 280. What would happen is my Maya scene would start flickering and jumping around the scene whenever I tried to interact with the 3d view. After much research and frustration I found the fix. Go to your Nvidia display properties tab and turn OFF the Threaded Optimization setting. It seemed to fix the issue. On a side note… What happened? Nvidia used to have the better drivers.. now they are pretty terrible. WTF?
Childs Play
Written on 10 December 2008 by NebsLast night I had the pleasure of attending the Childs Play Auction and Dinner. All together they managed to raise 200,000 dollars for sick kids, bravo! Never before have I seen that many game developers dressed so nicely, a polar opposite of GDC. The evening started with drinking, socializing, and bidding on silent auction pieces. Mostly artwork donated by various game companies. After that was dinner and a live auction. Good stuffs. And thank you to Casey of Molly Rocket for setting up the evening for us.
PS. The iPhone camera is freaking terrible.

Oven Fumes
Written on 3 December 2008 by NebsI fired up my new oven last night. The first few times you use an oven it puts out a pretty strong chemical smell. I was wondering if the manual said anything pertinent… This is what it said…
Holy Crap!

It’s Science!
Written on 20 November 2008 by NebsThe idea of Science! seems to be growing into a religous movement. I think the ideals behind good science are being lost in the rush to wield science as a way of achieving ends. People don’t seem to realize that science is not infallable and is just as easily corrupted by money and false ideals as anything else. People run around saying things like.. “Of course it’s true it’s science!” Science is always changing. Something that is true one day is not true the next day because of new discoveries. People need to remain open minded. Be aware of the latest scientific facts but don’t allow yourself to believe that it cannot change. Stay skeptical even of things that are taken as fact. I suppose this is nothing new. It just seems to me that it happens more frequently in everyday conversation.
Car
Written on 18 November 2008 by NebsIs in the shop to repair some deer damage… I am kinda feeling like getting a more grownup car. Something that is really comfortable to travel in. But I know if i do it’s probably gonna be slower and I will end up missing the performance. Sigh.
Mirrors Edge
Written on 13 November 2008 by NebsI am really enjoying Mirrors Edge. It’s a nice breath of fresh air. I really like the visuals and music. For some reason it makes me think of Scandinavia. I don’t think I would have liked it as much if it was a third person game. I really hope this means that EA will be trying some new things, I suppose it all depends on how well the games does. Wow look at all those sentinces starting with I… Blech
