I'm glad I'm not paid to fill this page out, or I would've had to fire myself long ago. Been working some freelance gigs the past month and a bit, mostly introductory animations for websites.

What's new? After much delay due to lots of factors, most of them my inability to encode things properly, my new DVD should be out for sale by the first week of March. It's a complete guide to particleIllusion 3.

I've also just finished writing the script for a 10 minute short film, tentatively titled Block, though hopefully I'll come up with a better title before it's done. Shooting will be sometime in either March or early April, with a goal of submitting it to the Toronto International Film Festival. It took a long time to work out the story and get it right, which I think I finally did.

The writing page hasn't been updated, but I do have a new story up on my podcast, which is available on

I also redid some of the effects, and cleaned up the sound, for Flash. It's not up on the site yet, mostly due to laziness, but it if you do a Google video search for my name, it comes up.

Writing this made me realize how disorganized this place is.
