New Addition to Revsion 13 Production Blogs

   

A Blog about survival in the coming Apocalypse-End times, aimed at my adult children , wherever you are!

It's been awhile since I set up a blog from scratch.  I've forgotten how much work goes into it.

COMING SOON 11-11-11 "THE WARNING II"

It's been one year since the original warning on 10-10-10....many items have happened as featured...tsunamis, floods, freak storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, and tomorrow an Asteroid (close call?).

More events are predicted for 11-11-11 in the coming year as we reach the Mayan date of 12-21-12.  It's not coincidence or chance....be alert for "The Warning II"

Make Your Web Site Mobile Ready!

Many web sites , mine before today, are not Mobil Ready.  If you look them up on a smart-phone or an iTouch4 your get the miniature version of your normal web page, then have to expand it to read it.


Blogger has a simple way to make your site mobile ready under settings, along with a few templates, that in my case mimicked the normal web page. click on the "email/mobile" tab. Then chose your template, go to the add mobile near the bottom and follow the instructions. You now have a mobile web page...and it's free!

If you Google how to make your web site mobile ready...there are many links...some require monthly fees, but many are free!   Be sure to add the word "Free" in your Google search.  Good luck.

3 D Modeling

3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of a three-dimensional surface of any object (either inanimate or living). This is done in computers using software capable of rendering 3D computer graphics and is also known as meshing. The final product is called a 3D model. It can either be displayed in the form of a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used as it is in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. 3D Printing services actually allow the model to be physically created. Models may be created either automatically or manually. The manual modeling process is very similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.

Almost all 3D models can be broadly divided into two categories.

• Solid - These models are a representation of the volume of the object(such as a rock) that they represent. These are more realistic representations, but are more difficult to build. Solid models are mostly used for specialized visual applications viz. ray tracing and constructive solid geometry and nonvisual simulations such as medical and engineering simulations.

• Shell/boundary - These models are a representation of the surface (viz. the boundary) of an object, not its volume. For example, for an infinitesimally thin eggshell this model comes handy. These are also easier to work with than solid models. Shell models are commonly used for visual models that are used in games and films.

Boundary representations are common in computer graphics since the appearance of an object depends largely on its exterior. Two dimensional surfaces make a good representation for the objects used in graphics. Polygonal meshes (and also to some extent subdivision surfaces) are by far the most common representation for a discrete digital approximation of surfaces that are not finite. Point-based representations have also been gaining some popularity in recent years. Deforming surfaces which undergo many topological changes, such as fluids, are best represented by level sets. The 5 popular ways to represent a model are: Polygonal modeling, NURBS, Splines and patches, primitives modeling, and sculpt modeling. There are a number of modeling techniques, including constructive solid geometry, implicit surfaces, and subdivision surfaces. These are used for shaping individual objects for the scene.

Tweet Too Much to Blog!

I've been Tweeting to much on Twitter to Blog.  Seems like anything I would Blog about has been said on Twitter...my bad!  Also, I have been unmotivated, falling into a pit of personal despair, that only alcohol and prescription drugs can cure!  (not really, but it sounds dramatic) 

As this is posted on am working diligently of related new Posts for my Blogs...stay tuned !

New Photographs on the "Photograph" Page

I visited the Washington Park Rose Garden on Saturday, June 11, 2011.  Alas, only about 10% of the flowers where in bloom, but I got pictures of a few.  Enjoy!

Will return in a couple of weeks to see a better selection.  

Handy Easel for the iTouch-4 or iPhone

I spent a few hours looking for a stand to hold my iTouch-4 so that I could watch videos or movies hands-free.

alas the local Apple Store had nothing.  They make a nice one for the iPad, but not the iTouch.  Same results at the Apple Store on line.  a $40 Leather Case can double as a stand.  A third party on eBay had an acrylic stand for $9.99.

Aha...I said to myself, an art supply store!  I walked in the door and there sat a small easel, about the length of the iTouch.  It came in black or a natural wood finish @ $2.75 each.  It works great!  Here is how it looked:

"Film Noir" on Netflix

I recently added "Film Noir" as a Genre on my Netflix account.  Last night watched "I Wake Up Screaming" with Betty Grable and Victor Mature (1941).  I kept an eye on the lighting, set decor and scene locations.  It was also a pretty good picture.  Betty was "HOT". at about age 25.  I have many more in the queue.
