Damn, I am as green as an Orion slave girl right now over her artwork. Granted, I'm not a bad artist myself, it's simply a case of not working at my art on a regular basis, but still... to be this talented AND able to work with raptors? So not fair! I can't even think of what I was doing at 15; even now, at 37, I…

I have to ask, and I'm really not being mean or snotty here, but what exactly do you do in the animation industry that you don't know about motion tracking? Isn't that, like, one of the basics they cover in the early days of computer animation school?

I went to three different middle schools, one in NC, two in central Fl, and two different high schools, one in central FL and, the one I eventually dropped out of, in small-town CO. So I share your pain. However, I wasn't personable enough to be noticed as the new kid, so I just hugged the walls and prayed to get…

Okay, I don't care that I'm 37 years-old, I want that Discworld cake and the Luggage cake posted by Balmut both at my next birthday! And, honestly, I read your question as plunging your head into the middle of the cake, which I would totally do—take the hand right out of the equation and shorten the time between cake…

The question is, would you be able to eat the luggage before it ate you?

I would think IKEA would partner with this hack site, as a way to advertise their wares and their flexibility/creativity: "See? We don't care how you use our furniture, just as long as you use it, and lots of it!" Makes sense to me... which is probably why I'm not in the business world as logic/common sense don't…

I probably stand alone in this, but I wish this one had been more successful so there could've been a sequel or two.

Don't feel bad, I stand with you. Or maybe just slightly behind you so I can use you as a shield when the projectiles come.

I adore Casual Sex? Of course, my enjoyment is slightly dimmed by the knowledge of Victoria Jackson's Tea Party membership and some of the more, um, provocative positions she's taken/statements she's made. But it's still a hilarious movie that I love watching, especially for Andrew "Dice" Clay's character, which is…

To track the eye lines of the actors so that when the galliminuses are rendered, it appears as though the actors are watching the dinosaurs as they stampede past.

Aw, that would take all the fun out of having you imagine how this looks!

Two things. First, what's with the wonky legs? They make me feel drunk just looking at them. And second, does the designer not know that because it's designed to accommodate cats, most cats will immediately ignore the desk completely or ignore those little cubby holes and sit on top of the desk anyway (or, if…

Yeah, my very fluffy boy would have a "Pooh stuck in the honey tree" moment with some of those spaces. His neutered male-Buddha belly wouldn't help, either.

I do this all the time with my dogs. I can mimic several types of barks, which gets both my dogs all riled up. Not to mention all the neighborhood dogs, initiating the canine grapevine (the cycle of barking that moves from one house to the next as each pooch catches up on all the latest news). The most fun is when…

I noticed that about the AWOL thing, too, and I can't remember if the two recognized each other. I want to say they did, in a very subtle way, but I can't say for sure. I'll need to keep an eye out for that scene when I get the Blu-ray set of this season (currently on pre-order ;P).

Sure it's scary. You don't know where to start, if you're doing it right (write? Heh heh) even though there is no such thing as "doing it right" when it comes to writing. You can read book after book telling you how to outline your story, how to start your story, how to write your characters, your fight scenes,…

I must be weird because I watched the entire video and found it fascinating. Of course, my mom was a nurse and I was also the designated splinter-getter-outer in our house when I was a child, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Actually, if that idea popped into your head and you can't stop thinking about it, I'd say you were a writer. Just one that wasn't actually writing. Like Trike said, all you need to do is start writing. Either about this idea or something easier to get you going. Whatever. It doesn't have to be good (and it…

True, although the skimming definition of 'peruse' might not've been the best choice to make your point as, with 'irregardless', it's another proscribed definition according to many usage authorities. Not to be pedantic or anything. ;) That said, yes, words change meaning over time; I'm not claiming they don't. …

As a Florida native who's escaped the dong of America, I can only sigh along with Linda, tireless public servant. And agree with her assessment of Florida—they have a lot of interesting names there.
