Well well well... looking back, I guess I was busier this year than I thought. Finished a few cool buildings, a couple clocks, a corn maze, and a couple silly things. And I did a lot of things twice...
-KLUG did two local shows
-I went to two conventions (Brickworld: Chicago, Brickworld: Fort Wayne)
-I was nominated for two awards at BrickWorld 2012 (Best Large Building - Hardy House, and Best Mechanical - Digital Clock)
-I was on The Brothers Brick twice
-I was interviewed by Beyond The Brick... twice if you include the video interview at Brickworld: Fort Wayne.
-I was in the paper (Kenosha News) twice. The second time was yesterday, on the front page.

What did you folks do twice this year?

In the News!

I was playing around with curves and this just kinda happened. My wife tells me this ought to be my next stop-motion project. What do you think?

One of the "cleanup" shots from my Tetris game.

Here's what went through my head near the end of the video...
Arrrrgh... this is taking so long! I keep bumping the tripod, and the lighting keeps looking a little different in each shot... I've been at this for hours and I've only got maybe 30 seconds of footage?!? I think I'll just end it.

I had actually spent the time to make sure the level, lines, and score were all easy to change, and barely had a chance to do anything with them because I was in such a rush to make this awesome thing.

Oh well.

Tetris: Like A Boss.

So, I was inspired by my "Like A Boss" entry to try my hand at a little stop-motion. Had a few issues with accidentally bumping the tripod, and unintentional lighting changes, but I'm pretty happy with it. :-)

Yay!

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the [field] of dreams
In the middle of the night
