Reunion Follow-up!

Sorry that it has been a while since I updated this sucker. Seams that there has been a lot of things that have kept me busy. Well any ways the reunion was a success! I had a great time with my family. Not very many cousins that I grew up with and where my age seamed to come. Which was sad yet it gave me the chance to better aqaint my self with those that I knew less about. The food was great, as it always is. There were tons of games and lot of heathy and interesting social talk. (For instance: Grandpa and his weird story's of Ailen Saucers and the deep discusions of Religion. Not to mention lot of catching up with each others events in life and where people where.) Like I said before, it was very successful. The best part of it all was that my Dad "was not" all tight and filled with stress which has been with him most of his life. There was not very many worries, and tons of things on his do list, or stress with money ordeals. I'm very happy that he is doing better with life.

Well here is my sum-up of the reunion! I was going to take pics of the wonderful location but it seams that I never felt like pulling out my camera. Guess I'll have to ask my camera crazy uncle to send me some pics. (He is also crazy him self! Some of the things he does in his old age.)

Take care! And enjoy life while its still, "Young".

Young Reunion!

It's that time of the year! Summer time is the time where we have the long anticapated Young Reunion. I realy enjoy going to them, we have all kinds of fun. We usely have a huge water fight, eat good food, and sit around and have long chats. Did I mentioned that we have it in the foot-hills of the High Uintas? Well I just did! It wonderful up there! I use to live up there.

Well anyway I had to make this short and sweet because I'm needing to get some sleep. We Youngs here at home are heading to The Basin later today, so you can see why i need it. (Its a long travel it seams.) I'll make sure that I'll write about it when I get back!

Take Care and Enjoy the Week!

New Blog!

I started a new blog! Its "http://blenderheads.blogspot.com/" and its just for you that like to play with blender3D and anything that has to 3D Graphics or Graphics it's self. The reason why I did this was that I just felt like seperating the two supjects. That is Personal stuff from the 3D stuff. (3D stuff is personal to me, so I should say Personal 3D stuff ;) )


Well now you have it! Enjoy!

-Dave Young (GeckoMan)

(PS. Make sure to let ur friends know about the change.)

Numa Snake!

Take quick look at what one of my fellow blender friends from school was doing. I'm unable to let out an video right now. I need to get permision to do so, which I am asking for and hopfuly get an answer soon. So have a look at the sneek peeks and be sure to let your friends know. (Cause we would like to be known.)

Numa Numa Snake Sneek Peek's!

The movie is in still being built! But still have short clips on the what the maker has done so far. The clip is in need of finishing the animation it seams. Then touching up would be nice. (I think that it should have some neat effects added to it too.)


Here is a link to the very orignal numa numa song from "O-Zone".
Remember the Numa kid, Gary Brolsma? Ya him! He is the one that started all that "Home made Numa Numa Video", craze. Kinda funny story! he made the video, sent to his friends and his friends sent it every where is seams. Now he is well known all over the world and he never ment it to do such when he frist made it.

Well! Enjoy! And hopfuly I can show you video clips of the numa snake soon.

Blender Nation again!

www.blendernation.com has had some realy neat things going on this summer. I highly sugest that you look at the post about "Inkscape". Seams that they realy got somthing realy good going.

Cool Game!

While I was looking at Blender Nation a couple days ago. I ran into a post that mention of a game that had all the models made in blender. It was a mmorpg, the kind of game that I don't play normly. But becuase I was wondering what it looked like I tryed it and like it. I got hooked on it and I have to tell you its a fun one. If any of you wished that you had Guild Wars but can't afford it don't worry, there is Eternal Lands. It may not be as great as Guild Wars, but its still a good one. Please note that at frist It may be confusing, but when you figure it out, it has endless fun. ("http://www.eternal-lands.com/") And if any of you know what Rune Scape is, Rune Scape copyed EL. Just that EL(Eternal Lands) Is much better then RS.

Come join the fun! Oh! and come join my guild as well! that is when I build one. (If your ever try the game, then contact me by typing, "/geckoman YOUR MSG" to send a personal message to me while in the game.)

New stuff!

Blender is in need of people to test their new release. Check it out and test it at "http://www.blendernation.com/2006/06/26/242-rc2-released/". Then after your done look at the new posts from "http://www.blendernation.com".

Oh! make sure to download the demo files from the blendernation site. The link should be on the same page.

This is Good!

Now all you blender heads that might be looking at this. If your new or well seasoned with blender, this artical is a must to see. If you read it you will see why I say that. http://glenmoyes.com/articles/to_those_learning_3d.shtml

One thing I'll say is this. Knowing blender is nice, but how to design and understand art makes everything even better. One that understands art is more vauable then a person that is good with blender but doesn't understand art. Blender is a tool, not a thing to automate Art.

Check out the site and be educated! Have fun!

No more in the dark!

Today We got DSL! Before I was stuck with dail-up at home. Now we have a new system and its great. Nothing new to post about at the moment. But I'm sure that I can think of somthing.

ALA3D

A long time ago me and my fellow school partners were trying to build a movie. We had a class in the morning where we did cool 3D projects in Blender. To help better our comunications we started a disscusion forum where we could comunicate as a class. We would love to bring back to life the project if we could. Maybe if you and others look into the forum and post idea's. You might be able help us to get going again by your exciting idea's.

We would love to hear your idea's and encouragment. The site is ("ala3d.co.nr")

Neat River Trip!

On the 7th, me and a bunch of priest and teachers took off at 6:00 am to head out to our river trip. We had been planning this trip for some time now and everyone was excited to be going. Well anyway, we made it to destination and began our run for the day down the river. The first day was warm and the sun had burned many. (You should see my friend Casey. He got burnt badly because his sun-screen keep washing off.) There wasn't much for rapids the first day. And there was a lot of still water. Around six we pulled off to the side and camped.

The next day was greatly anticipated because we would be hitting our first major rapids. We covered our needed miles allot faster then the day before. We also had entered into Desolation Canyon that day. The ride was fun and really tiring. I didn't sleep well it seems, but was able to get enough sleep.

The third was the most exciting. That day was the day that we hit the biggest rapids of all. It seams that we there was endless amount of rapids, and the water was moving fast. We also went through the rest of Desolation and finished most of Grey Canyon. We also had a lot of water fights on this day. I got pulled into the water many times as well as pulling others in my self.

We finished the rest of the river and pulled out around noon On Saturday. We had a meal at subway close to Green River city and headed home.

Some things that made the trip fun was that I got to be with some good friends. The rapids were great, and the weather was mostly fine. Except for the 2nd and 3rd day around 6:00pm. Seams that we got more wind then anything else. We had tons of water fights on the slow moving water sections. And it seams that even traveling in the vehicles was fun. (I got to finish left over food, listen to Brian Regan, and watch some movies.)

If you asked me the river trip was a great success. And I had a lot of fun. I’m glad that I took the time to take the trip.

It has come and gone!

Like in the title, Graduation has come and gone. The thing is that I haven't been able to update the blog for a while. (Mostly because of internet access and a river trip.)

Thanks for all of you that were a support to me during the school year.

Graduation is here!

Today it graduation! I am exicted for tonight. I still can't belive that its that time. Seams that it has gone by so fast.

We as a school got our yearbooks today as well. It was a night mare! I had to wash walls to get rid of fines so I could have my yearbook. I thought it funny how I'm a grad not to mention without my support there wouldn't be a yearbook. And I was still haveing to pay for yearbook and fines.

There are many other things that have happened durring the weekend. I shall write about them later.

Blender3D

For the past two years I've had been using and keeping an eye on blender. It has been interesting how much it has grown. As mentioned I have been using it too. Even though I have been using it for a while, I still am not the best at it. I just like using it for the fun of it. I like being able to have access to a profesional grade software that comes free. The area of work is also very interesting. I mean 3D graphics, that is sure a fun area to be dealing with.


If your interested in blender, the site location is ("http://www.blender3d.org").
And for you guys that my be new to blender, here is a site to wet your growing intrest ("http://www.blendernation.com"). It is a blender3D news site. And is a pretty good one too. There are at least several new post a day. They also have info and links to good to tutorials. just look to the right of the page.

Look at this Flick!

Check out this funny flick that I found! I like it, and I'm a firefox user too.

Graduation!

I'm excited, as a have been the last few week, about the fact that I am graduating. Im a lucky guy! At frist it seamed that I wouldn't be able, but it seams that luck has been with me. The Counslers have decided to let me walk for the ceramony. But I have to do some catching up during the summer. It doesn't look like much work is needed to make up work. I'm just plum happy that I have a chance to that diploma.

Graduation is the 5th of June and I can't wait. Soon life will be able to move to bigger and better things.
