I’ve taken a small unintentional break on this site while I’ve picked up a few other hobbies.
I’ve had a digital SLR for years and in the past few months I’ve discovered High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. I’ve started posting a few of my better shots on Flickr at http://flickr.com/photos/jdb220
I’m starting a new project, or rather a new business… Site Modelers, LLC.
Please stop by and check it out.
Several years ago, in my final semester at East Tennessee State University, I had some free hours so I took Calculus III for laughs. There were times that I paid a lot of attention and learned a lot under Jeff Knisley, there were also a lot of times that I was distracted by the computer at my desk, the internet is such a means of escape. Regardless of my study habits at that time I did walk away with a better understanding of surfaces and I still find myself looking back at my notes. Although those notes have holes where my attention was elsewhere, lucky though you can find the course material available to everyone at http://math.etsu.edu/multicalc/ Give it a look, it is worth your time.
That last post got me to thinking, “What happened to Randall Rath?” Why didn’t we do a better job with VB Design and CAD Vault? The core members, of which I was one, could have done better, but we were complacent with the fact that Randall and Ralph would always take care of us. Randall and Ralph gave us so much and asked only that we gave a little in return. We failed both of them and ourselves.
