Worrisome Sight Outside of Plane Window (Near Atlanta)
August 10, 2011I flew in and out of Atlanta today and yesterday and was somewhat perturbed by the crowding of the space both inside, outside, and above, the Jackson Hartsfield Atlanta Airport. And then there was this strange sight outside my plane window. (Or maybe just in my head.) (I really do recommend watching it full screen, if you’re going to watch it, as the creature was a bit too far for me to get a close view of his/her expression.)

Elephants Are Not Always Great At Yoga
July 26, 2011Pure Silliness (With Elephant)(And Bird) (And Beach)
July 24, 2011Yes, it’s silly and unclear and I’m not sure what’s happening or what the joke is supposed to be.
What can I say? It’s very hot outside!

How To Draw An Elephant (And Also Procrastinate)
July 16, 2011Some people will do just about anything to avoid cleaning their apartment. (I think, after spending several hours on trying to properly upload some version of the above cartoon, that perhaps I am one of them.)
Or perhaps I am just not cut out to become an online animator.
The drawing part is fun, and, in my rudimentary case, quick; the music is fun; putting them together is fun. But getting them from your digital device to Youtube can be a real pain in the you-know-what. Sound gets cut off, drawings get cut off. And unfortunately, some of us (the same people who delay cleaning the apartment, perhaps) get really impatient with online “answers” to technical questions on twitter forums.
So you have to keep on experimenting, uploading and uploading to get what you wanted or once had on your own little iPas, but somehow somehow cannot make come out in a bigger forum.
The good part is that, soon enough, cleaning the apartment doesn’t sound so bad.
Have a nice weekend.

First Animation (with Elephants)
July 14, 2011Yes, it’s silly and incredibly primitive and has, as yet, no audio. But I only got the idea of even trying such an endeavor this morning. (Being an aging perfectionist, I have to disclose my handicap right at the start.)
The app is called Animation Creation HD. (Cost for iPad is 1.99 , quite a bit of time with a little frustration thrown in.)
Warning–it’s really easy to delete (repeatedly) everything you have done. The “undo” button does not work on deleted frames. Other warning, you are supposed to “pad” for youtube which keeps last frame from being cut. I didn’t do that right. (Missing frame is more along the same lines. )
Even so, kind of cool what 1.99 can get you in these hard times. (Yes, I know, you need the basic computer/digital infrastructure, still it’s pretty amazing.)
