Short episode this week! And good thing, too, because this one is all about the stuff I’ve been up to recently. Here’s a quick run-down of the stuff I cover:
The Daily Creative group that got launched on Facebook as a result of my attempt to do a “Creative TriMonthalon”. As an extra bonus, here are some links to some of the work I made during that TriMonthalon:
Jungle Book, my little coding distraction to analyze book covers on Amazon
Word Pacer, another coding distraction where I wrote a little web app for visualizing the pacing of a chunk of text
Opensource.com, where I’ve been writing articles on open source and creativity
Book Widget, I forgot to mention this one, but this was another little coding distraction… it’s a WordPress widget that adds a book to your sidebar with links to the retailers where it’s available. I’m actually using it on this site. There’s kind of a fun story about that. Maybe I’ll talk about it a bit in the next episode.
And, most importantly, I asked what you’ve been up to in the last year or so. Let me know. Share links. It’ll be a hoot!

Hi Jason
Thanks for the podcast. It’s good to hear what others have been doing. I’ve produced two animations using Blender during the last year. Here are the links:
When we met at the Blender conference a few weeks ago I explained that I learned Blender by studying your “Blender for Dummies” book. That was in Blender 2.49 so it was your first edition. The book gave me a great foundation to build on.
Regards

“I make stuff. I make stuff up. On occasion, I stuff-up what I make. I don’t do much stuff with make-up… though I’m not above trying. I work in all kinds of media: words, animation, ink, coffee, wood, video. And, of course, I’m really passionate about open source and open content, so that’s what I talk about in this show. Books I’ve written and other creative experiments I’ve made can be seen on monsterjavaguns.com.”
