Ice Planet!

June 6, 2010

Today is Sunday and so it is supposed to be relaxing yet I still find myself pushing and pulling verticies at the office. I can't really imagine doing anything else though. Working in Maya is so relaxing and rewarding (usually) that it makes sense to be spending my weekend in front of my computer.

Don't fear for me though. In twenty years if we meet I won't be a slug who doesn't fit into anythinig but sweat pants. At nine this morning I set off on an ambitious trip to Denver via my fixed gear. According to Google I had to take the 93 South for twenty miles and then the 6 east for ten. What Google has yet to implement at the time this is written is an elevation utility. From my house to the county line is entirely up hill.

Bah! I should have know of course. I do live next to a massive mountain range. After an hour and fifteen minutes I saw a sign for Jefferson County. It was the ten mile mark and I decided to head back. It was getting hot, the cars were not acknowledging me as much as I'd like, and I was tired. I don't think the return trip took more than a half hour. I flew down Foothills Highway and had to take my feet off the pedals to avoid losing control.

I'll head to Denver tomorrow for free via the bus pass I have to get tomorrow. Because I work on Pearl I get so many cool benefits!

I took a lunch break and walked to Whole Foods to buy a frozen pizza and while I was shopping I set my computer to render the 1000 Pound Cake world all with the same water texture assigned to the lake. The result was pretty cool.
