Digital Equinox is a confluence of events in the electronic days and nights of my mind creating a place where my imagination comes to life and basks in the glow of an eternal equinox. Yeah, it's a bit random and might not make much sense, but that's what this blog is.

Some might have noticed that the site wa down for the last several days. I apologize for that. It seems my previous webhost kicked the bucket without warning and their tech support remained unresponsive after repeated attempts to contact them. So I've since switched to a different host. This means that some email and quite a few images were lost. I've been scouring the cache folders trying to restore some of them, but at this point I think that it might be a loss for recovering the images. |

 Well, I know it has been some time since I last posted an update. Well
things have been busy these days. I've also been taking a break from
40k miniatures to quickly paint up a Battlefleet Gothic fleet. I'm down
to the last three ships and the main 2500 point chunk will be complete.
However just saying whats happening isn't exactly the whole reason I'm
posting here. I was asked for a tutorial on how I painted up the
cruisers for the fleet. Since that will be a relatively lengthy post
I've decided to actually use the "read more" feature of my site. So
without further ado, please click "read more" for the actual tutorial.

Yeah, I guess I'm still around. Not that anyone actually reads this
anymore but just in case I thought an explanation was at least in
order. The last few months have been quite the trip. It seems that this
little thing called Love has come to call and cupid got shot down by
Zeus as he let fly his dart. Well that over with, I can say that God
has had a plan in it all and it's worked out in his time. As of nearly
a month, I've been dating someone I consider to be the most awesome
girl in the world. After reading that last line you might find the
title of this little post a little odd, but it does have reason! While
the last couple of months have been somewhat confusing to say the
least, I can say now that I'm not confused in the head anymore. Here's
to many more wonderful months, days, and years with you Tesh! |

 This semester I've been taking a graduate level class on composition in
art and as part of the requirements I've had to create a piece using a
grid as the primary focal point of the composition. Given my love for
all things Egyptian, I decided to go ahead and take some recognizable
elements of the ancient culture and "digitize" them using pieces of
Plexiglas and paint to color the "pixels." To start with I used larger
blocks to represent less detailed and background elements and worked up
to smaller darker blocks to abstract the "lines" of the Udjat eye. In
this way I'm hoping to create the grid in three dimensions and maintain
the original symbol as a subconscious element or one which defines
itself if the title or background material is known. |

 Haven't posted on the blog in ages, so I'm going to make a few updates
today. If you haven't already tried it, get Portal from Valve. It's one
of the most awesome games I've played in ages. Full of good puzzles,
challenges, and tons of humor I'd had much fun while playing through.
Now if only fan made maps could be used. This game is short but is
screams for more content. Follow that up with Half Life episode 2, and
well you have quite a bit of time wasting to do. Still it didn't quite
capture me in the same way that portal did. (image complements of
Wikipedia) I think one of the best bits is the Companion Cube. The
whole humor of dragging around a white box with a heart on it and
actually needing it for the puzzles was great. Combine that with the
endearing innocence of the automated turrets and veiled evil of GlaDOS
and you have quite a game going. Now to get back to those
achievements... |
