Yesterday I described my room a bit and today I thought I’d post some photos of it. It’s sad because when I took these photos I had my Dell laptop and Western Digital External Hard Drive out of the room to watch Lost on the living room TV but you can probably still tell that [...]
Ack! I haven’t posted yet today and now in 5 minutes I’m going out to a movie with my family until after midnight! So, here’s a random fact you might not have known about me: I now have 4 computers in a room 22-feet long (my room is kinda cool in that it’s 6×22 feet). [...]
I finally got around to uploading this PSA that I made last fall in my Animation II (a.k.a. Drawn Animation) class: The Letter from Jimmy Bouma-Holtrop on Vimeo. Enjoy. -j
Judging by the responses to a recent post there, MyDD is apparently still toxic for Hillary supporters, but I thought one of the comments on that post was incredibly amazing in how clear, concise and non-combative it was (and how it was one of the only pro-Hillary posts I’ve seen on MyDD recently that didn’t [...]
OK. I know I’m going to sound like a really big arrogant jerk in this post…but maybe I am one. Deal with it. I’m trying to figure out why we allow people who don’t know a damn about science to have opinions on global warming? OK, I know that’s harsh, let me rephrase it: I’m [...]
There’s a hurricane in the Caribbean. I kid you not: Hurricane Paloma is predicted to impact the Cayman Islands, where there are hurricane warnings currently in effect, on Friday night and to cross central Cuba on Saturday night on its way toward the Bahamas on Monday.

Last night I mentioned two things I was watching closely in this election: 1) if my home state of Indiana would turn blue for the first time in 44 years and if California voters would approve the High-Speed Rail bond measure on the ballot. Well, I’m happy to report that both things happened! With 99% [...]
Well, everyone’s declaring Obama the next president of the United States now that the polls in CA, OR, WA, ID and HI have closed. Can’t say I’m sorry, I did vote for him, but it’s still kinda depressing because I never quite understood until this year the “lesser of two evils” sentiment. Whatever. I know [...]
It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s your right and duty as a citizen of the United States of America (um, yeah, sorry to my non-US readers right now). (OK, I know it’s not as easy as it should be what with long lines, etc. But still. Do it.) Here’s to a better future achieved by [...]
OK, I’ve finally gotten around to uploading (some) of my recent digital media work! Today I finished (late…bad me) my first project in 3D Animation I: a short animation of a snowperson. The assignment required us to not only make a snowperson, but to also make a simple world for the snowperson to be in [...]
