The last few years have seen drastic improvements in green-screen technology. Notice how that the actual screen only needs to cover the moving objects in the scene; that’s the part the computers still have trouble with. With the way things are going now, I suspect the need for an actual green-screen will disappear within ten-years; we will [...] I’ve recently decided I need to expand my skill set; so I took it upon myself to learn C# (and general .Net development stuff), and signed up for a class at my local community college. I am going to try to post my notes and thoughts as I go through the class ( like most [...] Quantum on Quantum.

Regardless of what you think of the world of high-risk spectacle stunts, you can’t help but admire at least some aspects of Petit. He knows what he wants out [...] Descartes was ‘poisoned by Catholic priest’ For more than three and a half centuries, the death of René Descartes one winter’s day in Stockholm has been attributed to the ravages of pneumonia on a body unused to the Scandinavian chill. But in a book released after years spent combing the archives of Paris and the Swedish [...] Check this out: Physics is weird. |
