The world of digital technology is like a runaway freight train. It's huge and doesn't seem to be slowing down. You might not realize just how much it affects our lives. The facts in this video will give you an idea. Prepare to be amazed.
I wanted to be sure that we indeed have the ability to embed video content here. Witness this video. So I just dashed off to archive.org and what I brought back was their featured animated short. Way of the Mantis - Produced By Joseph Daniels and Jedidiah Mitchell.
Here is our thesis animation completed at RIT.
It is the story of an impetuous Chinese monk who finds he has a thing or two to learn from an unlikely source. The animation is rendered in a brushpainted style reminiscient of old Te Wei films. Enjoy!

For several years now I have been driving a "Flex Fuel" vehicle - which means it can run on different blends of gasoline and ethanol. In my area I have a choice to use either Regular Unleaded or E-85 (85% ethanol fuel and 15% gasoline by volume.) The E-85 is typically priced substantially lower than Regular gas but there is a trade-off in that E-85 does not deliver the same mileage as Regular.
When fuel prices climb higher, the lower price of E-85 looks all the more attractive. However, it is hard to decide at the pump whether the lower cost is worth it, vis-à-vis the reduced fuel economy. In order to make an intelligent decision as to which would be more cost effective, I dusted off my limited javascript skills to devise this gizmo that painlessly compares the two options in terms of cost per mile.
Of course, it is up to you to discover your relative miles-per-gallon for each type of fuel. Once you are armed with that information you can enter those into the form below (my values are automatically inserted but you can change them to your own), along with the price of one or the other type fuel. Click the "EQUATE" button to learn the break-even price for the other.

Something grabbed my attention on the technology front today. No, not the ever-pressing Tik Tok-ban debate. I’m over that issue. But if millions of Americans want to willingly turn over their data information to the Chinese, it is their problem. This concern stretches into the AI world. Not that I’m an AI alarmist here, but […]

Well I say life, but I suppose it’s a … Continue reading Challenge: Burn 31,000 calories in May – RESULTS
