Try and get them to start at the same time...

Pause the goat until the song starts. So worth it. I'm going to put the vids on the jump so you can have it load without having interference with the rest of the page loading.

PS I changed it so they don't autostart.
PPS, changed it back.

The Known Universe

Keeping with the astronomy theme, thought I'd share this vid with you. All these views of the vastness of space and our universe has put me in a philosophical mood. Can't wait for the semester to be over so I can start reading for pleasure as opposed to reading for memorization.

Carl Sagan, Still Auto-Tuned

I've been reading a lot on astronomy recently. Especially after reading up on the Ultra Deep Field Image. If you guys don't know what it is I would suggest looking it up. Here are some links to some overviews from Giz.

Essentially areas that we thought were devoid of anything actually have hundreds of thousands of galaxies. Just to put that in perspective, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, our galaxy. You can extrapolate as to how many planets that would be. With this new data they are estimating that there are some where around 100 billion galaxies in the universe. I don't even know what 100 billion x 100 billion equals. Kind of humbling, no?

Anyhoo, the reason I am posting this is because I talk Lisa's ear off about this stuff. To add to the torture I have been making her listen to the Carl Sagan autotuned video on youtube a lot. She asked me why I hadn't posted it on TripleChimp, I thought I had. So this is for her. There is a lot more info, but I'll let you watch the video that I am placing after the autotune for it. I apologize if you have already seen this.

More Team Radio Shack News

Here is a first look at the Team Radio Shack's team bicycle. I was too lazy to get all the pics so I am only posting one here. IF you are too lazy to follow the link to see the rest of 'em, then that's fine too.

Sorry for the small pic. The interwebs really slow down in the evenings here. Wouldn't dang upload the higher res file. OK, so nothing is uploading. I'll do it tomorrow.


Yes! It worked!!

Yet Another Gift... !

Chiptunes plus + decent rap + plus copious amounts of nintendo reference. Enjoy, my amigos.

Doggy Christmas!!

Heres wishin' ya a very merry Christmas from Eleni, Efren and most of all Temo.

Commander Gorgo UPDATE!

Skin texture typically pushes a sculpt from "neat!" into a more organic, naturalistic rendering. Sharp needle tools are used to make "stretched" pores and wrinkles, a round ball-lookin' tool is used to make pores (thousands of 'em... very tedious), and then a citric-based solvent is used to smooth it all out and make it natural-looking... Pics of Gorgo's craggy skin after the jump...

Head-on shot of Gorgo's face. Note that the "pores" on the top left portion of the image aren't smoothed out yet with the solvent...


Side angle for light contrast.


And finally, a close-up of the skin around the eye-goggle.


Lemme know what you think, guys!
Cheers!
