So I went out this morning and bought this book and this book for to learn 3DS Max. I’ll have a review of each as I go, but for now, out of a total of seven books at Border’s, I think I got the two that will help me the most. And hopefully the company will reimburse me.

Jen and I went down into DC last night to see her brother Rob, and we had some very tasty Mongolian buffet (you throw a bunch of ingredients in a bowl, and a surly Oriental man adds sauce-type ingredients, then stir-fries it on a gigantic drum in the middle of the room). After eating we found an Irish pub and had some beers until it was time to leave town. Catching the final train out of Chinatown, we made it home to bed by 1am. Jen was glad to see her brother and I had a really good time. I miss DC and the cosmopolitan feeling I get there- Baltimore just doesn’t have the same vibe.

My shout out to Other World Computing, a firm specializing in Mac sales; I sent in an order for some gear yesterday and got an email back asking to confirm my ship-to address, considering I’m having it delivered at work. So i called Visa and had them update my record there. Hopefully my stuff will show up on time next week. But I was happy they took the time to check that out. That’s good customer service.

Friday Humor Dept.:This is a funny little satire of 2001, a Space Odyssey, and very well done. Plus it’s in Legos. Rock on.
