Bit of a tangent


For the past three months, I've been cobbling together a couple of graphics libraries and SDKs to allow me to make computer simulations that mimic natural processes.  I've gotten to the point I can make pretty neat raindrops. They wrap around the splash 'plate', so multiple copies of a master tile would lay together to make a larger pattern.  I can write the output of the simulation to a file that can be fed to a 3D printer. I hope to be making something physical out of this next year..

Snow White Drive


I picked the blandest subject I could find. These are 1950's era ranch style tract houses deep in the 'burbs of Dallas.

Big Tex burns!


Big Tex was standing on his grassy knoll at the State Fair when his dang boot caught on fahr last month. At least he didn't tump over after he burned..

Throne of the asphalt master


This monster was parked by a bike path near my house.  Maybe the city wants to turn it into a landing strip.

Ghostbuster


I recently happened on the demolition of a house in my neighborhood.  It had been the home of longtime residents and was clearly loved - a well-tended patio, a wood shop in the garage, and about eight lazy cats.  I drove by a couple of hours later and it was all flattened.  I caught a glimpse of someone walking in the rubble holding a toy.
