Rainbow 6 - Vegas: My character

Friday, March 23rd, 2007
So I’m a bit of geek? Yeah, alright, I’ll take that! Is that my face mapped onto a character in the game? Yes it is. So I’m a geek, but I’m a geek with a personal online dude! Oh yeah!If you have an xbox360, and the webcam that comes with it, certain games let you use it, Rainbow6-Vegas is one such game. Pure brilliance! Nordin   My online avatar! Angry and ready to kick ass

Nordin’s Musical Creations

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
I noticed today that my old pre-wordpress page of music was no longer available (which may have been a good thing? lol) so I found it and am making it an official post. No need hiding the page with a timestamp of when it was actually made (2002 I think), I'll just post it as something "new". On to the original post...

Expanding My Web Presence

Monday, March 19th, 2007
I've been doing some updating to my site. First off, I've added support for some popular social bookmarking sites. At the bottom of each post you will see a "Share This" link. Clicking on this will give you options of bookmarking the post to your selected site. You can also email the post. I'm now also using Google Analytics to track the flow of traffic on my site. It's a pretty cool service, if you have a website check it out. I've signed up for del.icio.us and Digg. I've also joined Technorati, check my Technorati Profile here. One other thing I've signed up for is Feedburner. All of these are very cool ...

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007
I came across this on YouTube (don't you love that site?). My friend Phil "Captain 3D" McNally who is the CG Stereoscopic Supervisor at Disney Feature Animation. Phil approved (or kicked back) the shots I approved at Digital Domain and sent to Disney. This video features Phil explaining just what stereoscopic is! Check it out.

Meet The Robinsons 3D

Saturday, March 10th, 2007
I recently finished CG Supervising the 3D stereo conversion of the new Disney CG animated film called, Meet The Robinsons. It was a significant task, as it meant converting the entire film, over 1600+ shots (Over 3200 shots if you include the delivery of both Left and Right eyes!) in under six months. Insanity!
