Is it Spring yet?

The weather has been warming up but I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed one more time. The weather has been crazy the past couple months.

I bought Deunen.com and have updated it with a temporary page I did in Flash. I plan to make something more animated but that is going to take some time.

I'm going to be helping my buddy Terrance with a dvd project. A woman contacted him about making a cartoon for children learning to read. Another friend of ours, Marvin, is helping too. Right now T is working out the deal, then we'll start planning everything out. If everything goes smoothly we should have it done by July. Click if you want to check out some of Terrance's Art

Here are some interesting links

WRSU Rutgers University Radio This radio station is really hard to get in my car. They play all kinds of music and it's a cool place to hear new, unique stuff from all over the world. You can stream the station from that site. Also from that page you can get the latest in New Jersey related news.

Newsmap This is a cool way to check out the latest news from all over the world. The big boxes are the most popular stories. I used to watch Cnn for the latest news but lately I've been getting it from the internet. You can get alot of different takes on the same story online and read people's reactions as well which is more interesting than the cable news channels.

Lots of audio programs In the last post I talked about making my own ringtones using the audio editing program Audacity. Here are some more free programs I stumbled upon. The first one I grabbed was the Scratch program. You can scratch Mp3 like they were vynol records. Kind of corny, yea, but fun. They also have programs for networking and programing.

'till next time

Some Corny Stuff

I've been experimenting with this audio editing program. Here are a couple ringtones I did for myself.
HELLO!
I GOT A PHONE CALL!
Very fk'n corny. I know but at least I'm getting the hang of the program and can begin experimenting with animation.

Here's a small pic I did in Flash

Right now I can animate the eyes and mouth. Next I'm going to learn how to animate a full figure in motion. I have it laid out in my mind how it has to be done, I just need the time to create each part of the body. In Flash you don't actually draw. Its more like shaping and layering clay digitally. Very cool and interesting.
