Mega Man Incarnate: Mighty No. 9

If you're a fan of the blue bomber, you may know that since 2010, Capcom hasn't done very much with the franchise. Mega Man veteran Keiji Inafune left Capcom and has a new project currently funding on Kickstarter. Update: The project has met its main funding goal in less than 3 days- more goals up ahead!

Blogger RSS + "Connected Accounts"

I have made one or two blogs with blogger before. My memory isn't very good, but I thought Blogger automatically created an RSS feed for each blog. Whatever the truth is, I remember in the past that people 'burned' their feeds with feedburner (now owned by Google). By setting up feedburner, I also found a Google Profile setting I otherwise didn't know existed...

How to Restrict Blogger's Tag Cloud to A Page

Blogger has a tag cloud (label cloud) widget that simply lets you have a listing of all the labels you've used in your blog. As I mentioned in a prior post, the downside of this is that every page has the tag cloud, and thus those tags become searchable text for each and every page. That doesn't make it any easier for search engines to look at your site...

Autodesk Inventor: Add/Subtract One Model from Another - Boolean Modifier/Operation

I am venturing into the world of 3D design, and 3D printing, by learning Autodesk Inventor. It is mechanical and methodical compared to other programs like Sketchup and Blender- and I was wondering if Inventor could merge models together, or use one model as a cutter for another model. I guess for applications like Blender, this function is called a boolean modifier (here's a video of that). Autodesk Inventor can do something similar- here are the steps.

Blogger Blog Search Widget is Broken? -Update

It may not in fact be broken, it may just take a long time before the widget gets to 'update' it's search results of this site. It appears today that I can search old posts, but not a post that I just made. I will try to remember to re-search the recent post before this one, and try figure what the update window is like.

Blogger Multiple label Query

You can tag your Blogger posts with labels, and you can click on a label to search for anything else tagged with that label, but only that one label. What if you want to search for multiple labels?

Ridiculous eBay Sellers

I generally like online sellers, and I think eBay is a great marketplace. I've found so many great things that I probably couldn't find anywhere else for the level of ease. But, I do have a grievance...

Web-Culture in the Wide World

This is funny. I don't like most modern art pieces, but this just tickles me silly.

I didn't post this. On tumblr it appears to come from eteryccznie. Oh, I'm on tumblr, did you know?

Add a Twitter Widget to Blogger

There's blogging, and there's micro-blogging. It would be nice to put the two together somehow... oh wait, there are widgets for that!

This is a really awesome video (no doubt with the staff pick badge). I want to try something like this. Dave Dugdale of LearningDSLRVideo.com has a nice post and video on dissecting the graphics.

Here's a similar video I found on Vimeo.

Blogger Blog Search Widget is Broken?

A big reason I wanted to use Blogger was because I can dump information here, and search it back later - like a poor man's wiki... Though I created this blog not long ago, I finally got around to actually testing the function that is most important to me - only to find that it is broken!

DIY White/Color Balance with Warm Cards

I'm a film/television/visual arts student. One of the most important steps to good production as a cameraman/photographer is to make sure you have proper white balance to record accurate colors. You can stylize the color tones in editing. This is also important for photography (but if you shoot in a RAW format, you may not need to worry about this- still a good practice).
